This study aims to investigate how would boastfulness influence views of warmth and competence? By using a multi-national sample of residents in Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand, this study seeks to contribute to the literature through the integration of boastfulness from tourism, with warmth and competence from social psychology. Practically, the findings provide insights for facilitating positive host-guest relations which is crucial for tourism development.
