Preferred term

relative deprivation  

Definition

  • Relative deprivation is the sense of being deprived of something to which one believes one is entitled and the subsequent emotions, such as anger, frustration, and resentment. Feeling deprived is determined not by objective conditions of deprivation but rather by subjective comparison with others who are apparently better off. [Source: Encyclopedia of Group Processes & Intergroup Relations; Relative Deprivation]
