Thus, two central but widely unexplored questions in respect research center around 1) the motivation and obstacles to respect others as well as 2) the psychological experience of respect and its consequences. Is respect contagious? What psychological resources are needed in order to respect others? Is giving or experiencing respect beneficial for our health or is disrespect health-damaging?
