Adolescence is a period which is marked by various changes and challenges in adolescents’ life. The adolescents’ approaches in dealing with those challenges are primarily influenced by their behavior which depends upon their emotions. Each and every individual is distinctive in their behavioral characteristics which mean that they have different feelings and emotions. The respect for every individual’s feelings is important in order to maintain a healthy relationship and environment. Respecting someone’s emotions implies that the person is valued and acknowledged. So, the present study was designed to study various emotions that are associated with respect. For this purpose, 50 school going adolescents in the age group of 14-15 years were selected from Sikandra Road, New Delhi, India. The tools used in this study were vignettes, interview schedule and observation. The major findings of the study were that emotions like happy, content, proud, anger, guilt, remorse and shame are felt when a person is respected or disrespected. Respect as a result of fear of authority was also discovered in the study. It was revealed that love and fear were the core emotions that drive the display of respect. There is always a give and take of something which is also observed in case of respect.
