The EKTIMIS Respect Model (ERM) is a tool that presents a comprehensive, but simplified, view of the various components of respect. The model illustrates the two basic kinds of respect, the three methods by which respect is commonly manifested (categories of respect) and the key factors that drive each category.

 

The model serves as a powerful tool for learning respect, teaching respect, and developing individual lessons about the many components of respect. A quick and easy way to review the model is to read it one layer at a time.

 

A practical and comprehensive outline of the model is contained in the book, The EKTIMIS Respect Model - A Powerful Resource and Guide.
