Abstract
Disrespect sensitivity, the interpretation of disrespect from others, provokes urban youth to maintain their status and increases victimization. This longitudinal study examines predictors of disrespect sensitivity in inner-city African American adolescents, including parenting, aggression, and age. Results indicate parental harsh discipline, physical aggression, and older age predict more disrespect sensitivity.
