The Top Ten Laws
of Respect
A multi-year research study produced the popular EKTIMIS Respect Model (ERM), a comprehensive framework that illustrates the constructs of the concept of respect. Using this ERM framework, along with other relevant study results, a collection of The Top Ten Laws of Respect emerged. Below are links to the respective body of principles (which we refer to as “Laws”) that govern respect — in social circles (Personal), in a workplace (Professional), and in a home (Family). Additional sets of researched principles from EKTIMIS will be presented in the future and shown below.
