👉 Unauthoritativeness is a quality or behavior that indicates a lack of respect for authority, guidance, and rules in social contexts. It can manifest as a refusal to listen to instructions or advice from others, a tendency to question authority figures, or a disregard for established norms and expectations. Unauthoritativeness can be seen as a sign of disrespect towards those who have the power to make decisions, such as teachers, police officers, or judges in legal contexts.
