On the meaning of respect for sexual minorities: the case of gays and lesbians

Reaching across group boundaries: Respect from outgroup members facilitates recategorization as a common group

“…It may therefore be not only more parsimonious to conceptualize respect as the recognition of equal (intragroup) standing or status, but also more realistic in the sense that people should find it less demanding to grant another person equal status than to grant him or her high status. In addition, such a (re)conceptualization is in keeping with recent research that has demonstrated the central role of recognition as an equal received from others in the experience of being respected (Simon & Grabow, ; Simon, Grabow, & Böhme, ).…”

“…While the experience of being respected is undoubtedly connected to the experience of social recognition of one's status or standing vis‐à‐vis others (Tyler & Blader, ), the present work contributes to a growing body of theorizing and research which suggests that it is not necessarily social recognition of higher status or standing that matters here. Instead, social recognition as an equal comes into view as a key ingredient of the respect experience (Renger & Simon, ; Simon & Grabow, ; Simon et al ., ). This new perspective by no means implies that social recognition of higher status (and other positive social evaluations or expressions of interpersonal affection or liking) could not also be sufficient to trigger respect experiences.…”

Upward influence tactics and their effects on job performance ratings and flexible working arrangements: The mediating roles of mutual recognition respect and mutual appraisal respect

“…Finally, we observe a significant correlation (0.68) between mutual recognition respect and mutual appraisal respect. Previously, Simon et al () supported the construct validity of these two forms of respect, through showing that equality‐based respect (recognition respect) and achievement recognition (appraisal respect) each explained unique variance in an overall perception of what it means to be respected across the contexts of work, family, and friends. Although distinct constructs, appraisal and recognition respect are part of the broader nomological network related to respect and we would therefore expect them to be significantly related.…”

“…This corresponds with the idea that we earn respect, perhaps due to particular characteristics or abilities of an individual being valued or highly regarded. Both forms of respect have been shown to bring about feelings of self‐worth and self‐esteem, but are recognized as each being distinctive (Simon & Grabow, ; Simon, Grabow, & Böhme, ).…”

Tolerance as a function of disapproval and respect: The case of Muslims

“…Our operationalization of respect in terms of recognition as fellow citizens of equal worth also deserves some discussion. In particular, we wish to highlight that this operationalization was not only in line with influential philosophical theorizing (Honneth, ; Scanlon, ) and recent social psychological research on the meaning and consequences of respect (Simon & Grabow, ; Simon, Grabow, & Böhme, ; Simon, Mommert, & Renger, ). It also accords with Forst's () model of ‘qualitative equality’ according to which respect for others means their recognition as political equals, who are entitled to full participation in society without having to sacrifice their distinct collective identities.…”
