A passion for respect: On understanding the role of human needs and morality

Abstract

Abstract:In the present paper, we stress the importance of the concept respect in a wide variety of social settings and provide a working definition of this concept by emphasizing how respect relates to the act of communicating full recognition to other people on the dimensions of belongingness and morality. Subsequently, in two separate parts, we discuss why respect is so desired and valued. The first part looks at respect as a means to fulfil important human social concerns ("respect as a means to an end"). The second part looks at the potential moral underpinnings of respect and thus interprets "respect as an end in itself." Finally, it is suggested that both reasons to value respect explain respect effects as a function of the working selfconcept that is salient (i.e., pragmatic versus idealistic self). Keywords

“…Research by De Cremer and Mulder (2007), for instance, underlines that the presence of respect in people's interaction with authorities helps to foster a sense of belonging (cf. De Cremer 2003;Ellemers et al 2013;Sleebos et al 2006a).…”

Respect in Buyer/Seller Relationships

“…A whole person perspective requires acknowledging another person's autonomy and personal goals, and learning about him/her in a holistic sense (Taylor, )—not only in his/her work life, but also family and social life, leisure, and hobbies. This perspective is reflected in social psychological research on respect, which views respect as a signal of full recognition as a person and in doing so, fulfills our inherent need to belong (De Cremer & Mulder, , p. 440). In another example, Sennett (, p. 13) describes lack of respect as the experience of not being accounted for as full human beings.…”

“…Likewise, it can be an indicator of inclusion (Huo & Binning, 2008). Respect, thus, fulfills two core human needs: the need for a positive social reputation and the need to belong (De Cremer & Mulder, 2007;Huo & Binning, 2008). This leads to respect being an important ingredient for the cohesion of groups as it increases collective identification and the willingness to engage in group-serving behavior (Simon & Stürmer, 2003).…”
