===Equity sensitivity construct===
The Equity Sensitivity Construct proposes that individuals has different preferences for equity and thus react in different ways to perceived equity and inequity.{{Citation needed|date=April 2020}} Preferences can be expressed on a continuum from preferences for extreme under-benefit to preferences for extreme over-benefit. Three archetypal classes are as follows:

*Benevolent individuals, those who prefer their own input/outcome ratios to be less than those of their relational partner. In other words, the benevolent prefers to be under-benefited.{{Citation needed|date=April 2020}}
*Equity Sensitives, those who prefer their own input/outcome ratios to be equal to those of their relational partner.{{Citation needed|date=April 2020}}
*Entitled individuals, those who prefer their own input/outcome ratios to exceed those of their relational partner. In other words, the entitled prefers to be over-benefited.{{sfnp|Huseman|Hatfield|Miles|1987}}
