Abstract: Arrogance can be termed psychopathological in real terms. However, academic arrogance borders closely on mania proneness, narcissistic traits related to inflated self-perceptions due to dominance in a particular field or due to anxiety and self-depressions due to subordination and submissiveness. Globally extensive research has indicated that academic arrogance is identified in individuals who are rooted in heightened dominance in any particular field of education or research. Academic arrogance is observed in the academia where individuals acquire self-inflated perceptions of academic superiority.
Keywords: Academic arrogance, inflated perceptions, psychopathological, superiority complex, traits, misogynists, illusory superiority
