Saying Yes to the Dress But No to the Glow: Why Consumers Resist Arrogant Brands

In five studies, we demonstrate the multifaceted effects that brand arrogance has on consumers and their brand choices. We identify diminished self-concept as a factor that may increase consumers’ vulnerability to brand arrogance, thus encouraging them to resist arrogant brands. Resisting arrogant brands further helps consumers to repair their self-concept.
