Description:
There has been little research on the way in which the young respect the elderly, let alone on the issue of cross-cultural differences in elder respect. This study, comparing young adults in the United States and young Korean adults in East Asia, explores the specific behavioral forms of elder respect that are cross-culturally equivalent and other forms that are culture specific. Samples of college students were surveyed at universities in the two countries by using the same questionnaire and measurement techniques. An inclusive set of forms of elder respect emerged. Both comparison groups cited care respect, acquiescent respect, linguistic respect, consultative respect, salutatory respect, and precedential respect as the most often practiced and highly important forms. The two groups were dissimilar in other forms. Differences and similarities regarding expressions of various forms and associated cultural traits are discussed. The study provides insights into how younger adults in the two different cultural contexts exhibit elder respect. The typology of the forms presented here can be used to explicate young people's propriety toward the elderly, as well as assess the quality of eldercare and the moral aspect of intergenerational relationships.
