AnnotationIn preparation for a systematic study, the author explores the forms of elder respect practised by East Asians and distinguishes a comprehensive set of 14 forms of respect, ranging from care respect to ancestor respect. Traditional Confucian teachings associated with respect for parents and elders are reviewed; and forms of elder respect practised by Asians are explored based on findings from recent studies conducted in Asia, and the meanings of these forms are summarised. Changing expressions of elder respect and its continuing influence are discussed. (RH).
