Abstract in brief

The research investigates the factors that lead people to perceive someone as arrogant, focusing on dismissive behavior, and finds that less expertise, incorrect opinions, and rude manners all increase perceptions of arrogance.
The studies reveal that, while people believe expertise and correctness are most important in judging arrogance, in reality, interpersonal manner and outcomes have a stronger influence on how arrogant someone appears.
Overall, the findings suggest that people often mistakenly think that their expertise justifies dismissive or rude behavior, which can result in the social faux pas of appearing more arrogant than intended.]
