Description: Respect enables children and adolescents to value other people, themselves, institutions and traditions. Disrespect dissolves positive relationships and fosters hostile and cynical relationships. This volume describes the content, functions and developmental course of respect in childhood and adolescence among several cultures and American immigrant groups. More cross-cultural studies are needed.
