This study investigated whether respect for adult and peer authority are separate attitudes which have distinct relationships with aggressive and manipulative behavior. Items assessing admiration for and obedience toward parents, teachers, popular students, and friend group leaders were administered to 286 middle school students (M age = 12.6 yrs). Factor analysis revealed two primary factors which corresponded to adult-directed and peer-directed respect orientations. Results suggested that adult-directed respect was associated with lower levels of aggression and social manipulation, whereas peer-directed respect was associated with higher levels of these behaviors. The role of peer-directed respect as a risk factor for negative social behavior in adolescence is discussed.
本研究调查了对成人权威和同伴权威的尊重是否是与攻击性行为和操纵行为有不同关系的两种不同态度。对286名中学生(平均年龄 = 12.6岁)进行了评估对父母、教师、受欢迎的学生和朋友群体领袖的钦佩和服从的项目测试。因素分析揭示了两个主要因素,分别对应于以成人为主导和以同伴为主导的尊重取向。结果表明,以成人为主导的尊重与较低水平的攻击性行为和社交操纵相关,而以同伴为主导的尊重则与这些行为的较高水平相关。本文讨论了以同伴为主导的尊重作为青少年负面社会行为风险因素的作用。
