Consumers’ Arrogance: Construct Conceptualization and Preliminary Validation Evidence
This paper explores the meaning of consumer arrogance (CA). It offers a conceptualization and an initial operationalization of CA. CA defined as a general multidimensional construct that reflects the tendency of individuals to communicate their achievements to others through products. The findings suggest a five-dimensional CA structure including: brand-name self-assertion, exhibitionism-based purchases, “I know best” mentality, showing-off through purchases, and purchase superiority.
