There is a deepening crisis in intergenerational relationships which, alongside a growing concern about children and young people's (CYP) mental health and well-being, may be linked to, or manifest in, everyday interactions between CYP, their peers and other generations. The young co-researchers in our team have linked these to issues of 'respect', 'disrespect' and/or 'lack of respect'. Experiences of giving and getting respect, and experiencing and showing disrespect, will depend, of course, on individual CYP and their circumstances: one set of behaviours may, for example, be a deliberate attempt to be disrespectful (e.g.to a teacher) in order to gain respect of peers (by protesting against a perceived indignity). CYP may interpret certain behaviours of adults, such as bans on entering shops in groups as disrespectful, while others might see this as a necessary business practice. Many adults expect to have the respect of CYP, but not always in ways or for reasons that are understood by them.Respect is rarely the primary focus of research related to CYP, and research on disrespect is rarer still. In none are CYP involved as co-researchers. Further, and significantly for this project, respect and disrespect have been theorised, defined and researched by adults, often with adults as respondents. In existing research, adults report a lack of respect shown by CYP, and CYP, when asked about their relationships with adults and others, often comment on a lack of respect shown to them.We have worked from the outset with an advisory group of CYP to determine the focus and design of the research (a radical approach to research in itself), and, in an approach that we consider to be highly innovative in childhood research, will continue to work with them and an advisory group of younger children to develop their own theories of respect and disrespect which will guide the study; contribute to decisions about what will be researched and how it will be carried out; and to understand, publish, distribute and communicate the findings. We will use a variety of methods to enable CYP to develop a theory of respect, and to capture CYP's views, attitudes and lived experience of respect/disrespect/lack of respect. These will include: conducting representative surveys of a large group of children; undertaking participatory research with groups of CYP in 'dialogue hubs', as well as individual narrative interviews with CYP who may experience respect/disrespect in distinctive ways, for example, those with disabilities; who have experience of care or the criminal justice system; who are LGBT+; ethnic minorities; and who have chronic and invisible health conditions. At every stage of the project, we will work with CYP as co-researchers to determine what is asked, how it is asked, and how the findings should be understood, made public and used to improve CYP's experiences.The study will be based in Northern Ireland, enabling us to harness our extensive networks to collaborate throughout with key stakeholders in government and across the public and voluntary sectors. We will connect CYP to significant adults and decision-makers from a variety of spheres connected to CYP lives including education, social and health care, transport and businesses - groups identified as target stakeholders by our young co-researchers. The approach will break new ground by contributing a child-authored theory of respect and disrespect. It will also trial new methods, and challenge existing assumptions about how children understand and experience respect. The findings will inform local government policy and professional practice with a view to generating improved relationships among CYP and their peers and the adults in their lives. We will, in addition, work with CYP and adult stakeholders to determine the most effective ways of presenting those findings and making them impactful, and will complete the project with an innovative, creative intergenerational showcase.

代际关系存在加深的危机，随着对儿童和年轻人（CYP）心理健康和福祉的日益关注，可能与CYP，同龄人和其他世代之间的日常互动有关或体现。我们团队中的年轻共同研究人员将这些问题与“尊重”，“不尊重”和/或“缺乏尊重”联系起来。当然，给予和获得尊重，经历和表现出不尊重的经验将取决于个人CYP及其环境：例如，一组行为可能是故意试图不尊重（例如，教师）来获得同伴的尊重（通过抗议愤慨的愤慨）。 CYP可能会解释成年人的某些行为，例如禁止在小组中进入商店时是无礼的，而其他人则可能认为这是必要的商业实践。许多成年人期望受到CYP的尊重，但并非总是以他们理解的方式或原因。 CYP在没有一个共同研究者中参与其中。此外，对于这个项目而言，尊重和不尊重是由成年人理论上，定义和研究的，通常是成年人作为受访者。在现有的研究中，成年人报告说，当被问及他们与成年人和其他人的关系时，CYP缺乏尊重，经常评论缺乏对他们所表现出的尊重的评论。我们从一开始就与CYP的咨询小组一起工作，以确定研究的重点和设计（自然的研究方法）（一种自然的研究方法），以及我们将在儿童研究中继续进行的倡议，并以较高的研究为生，并在儿童研究中涉及较年轻的研究，以使他们的培训型较高的研究，以使他们的较年轻的研究工作较年轻，并且是较年轻的研究。不尊重这将指导研究；有助于决定将要研究的内容以及将如何执行它；并了解，发布，分发和传达发现。我们将使用多种方法使CYP能够发展出尊重理论，并捕捉CYP的观点，态度和尊重/不尊重/缺乏尊重的经验。这些将包括：对一大批儿童进行代表性调查；在“对话中心”中对CYP进行参与性研究，以及与CYP的个人叙事访谈，他们可能会以独特的方式体验尊重/不尊重，例如残疾人；有护理经验或刑事司法系统的经验；谁是LGBT+；少数民族；以及患有慢性和隐形健康状况的人。在项目的每个阶段，我们都将与CYP作为共同研究者合作，以确定所要求的内容，如何被要求以及如何理解，公开并用来改善CYP的经验。该研究将基于北爱尔兰，使我们能够利用我们的广泛网络与全面的政府和跨越公共企业的关键企业合作。我们将将CYP与来自与CYP生活相关的各个领域的重要成年人和决策者联系起来，包括教育，社会和医疗保健，运输和企业 - 我们的年轻共同研究者将其确定为目标利益相关者。这种方法将通过贡献对儿童的尊重和不尊重理论来打破新的立场。它还将试用新方法，并挑战有关儿童如何理解和经历尊重的现有假设。这些发现将为地方政府政策和专业实践提供依据，以期在CYP及其同龄人和成年人生活中建立改善的关系。此外，我们还将与CYP和成人利益相关者合作，以确定提出这些发现并使它们产生影响的最有效方法，并将通过创新，创意的代际展示柜来完成该项目。
