How and when do respect and disrespect develop in childhood or adolescence? Respect enables children and teenagers to value other people, institutions, traditions, and themselves. Disrespect is the agent that dissolves positive relationships and fosters hostile and cynical relationships. Unfortunately, parents, educators, children, and adolescents in many societies note with alarm a growing problem of disrespect and a decline in respect for self and others.

Research on these cultures and American immigrant groups is represented in this issue: Chinese Japanese American Vietnamese German Turkish Puerto Rican Thai Filipino Laotian Cambodian This is the 114 th issue of New Directions for Child & Adolescent Development, a quarterly journal published by Jossey-Bass.
