The Theravada Buddhist's answer to the Endowment Effect is that sentient beings tend to self-identify with the things they own.

For sentient beings, the strongest self-identification they have with is their physical body, their feelings, their perceptions, their thinking and their consciousness.

These are the five things sentient beings strongly self-identify with and think they possess them.
