I'd say young women want to be liked & respected.
Remember you must EARN the respect of others,
I am 50 & don't care if someone likes me or not as long as i get the respect i deserve

Thats sour grapes, anyone who treats people right can be liked AND respected.

I can only answer as a male boss , It is better at least in the work place to be respected
When I started out in my business (The Pharmacy business)
I tried to be a friend and confidant to my employees , I learned in 3 or 4 short months that it doesn't work
It is better to be respected by far

I would rather be respected. i don't ever want to change who i am or what i believe in for people to "like" me. they wouldn't like me they would like the person that i come off as.

In my opinion i think it would be better to be respected. I mean i would rather be liked by everyonebut if i had to chose, i would pick being respected, being respect is a great thing. If someone didnt like you, but they respected you, then they wouldnt be rude to you, or just plain out mean , they would have respect ffor you and just be nice. You can still respect someone even ifyou dont like them .if that makes since.

I honestly believe that women can be liked as well as respected.... I would hope that its not one or the other... For me having respect is higher on my list then being liked... I think if the woman is genuine with herself and with others I believe they will be liked as respected, because it will show . a person doesn't have to be liked in order to be respected .. i know a few i feel that way about...I don't like them , and wouldn't hang out with them,but I have the highest respect for them( if that makes sense)

What a silly article. The same question would apply to men, but men have decided a long time ago that respect in the workplace is better than being liked.

Not sure. It isn't all that important and you can't force a person to like or respect you, but if they do, well that's great.
Anyway, it's always much more fun to keep people wondering.......Maybe also too, to joke around and just be happy & not stressed out....

You have to be liked, before you can demand respect!!!!!

Yes it's best to have both. But it can be very hard to respect someone who you just don't agree with or really like as a person.

Feared is really what you are looking for.
Doesn't matter if they like or respect you. That's what your dog is for.
What matters is when the ship is taking water they do what you tell them.

It depends on the person whichever one they value more.

If by "getting respect," you mean by being treated humanely..then yes, that's essential.
If you mean someone saying, "I don't respect her" behind my back, I could care less. What am I going to lose or gain by that? From my experience, most people are nice to your face, but they may not respect you on the inside. Is that my problem? Nope.
As for people liking me, I don't care either. Those people don't have nothing to do with putting a roof over my head. That's how I see things, as long as I'm doing fine in my life. If you don't like me or respect me, don't talk to me.

I pick respected. Sure it's nice to have people like you, but if at the end of the day you end up not liking yourself because you lack conviction, then you have much bigger problems than winning a popularity contest.
Plus: To be a person who submits to the status quo, it is always wondered if the people who like you, like you for who you are, or only because you are who they want you to be.

When it is put into those terms, I would have to agree...damned if we do...and damned if we don't. I think when you are respected you are generally well liked. If you can make a point in a general, or a well rounded way without losing your temper, you can make an impact. Of course we all at times lose our temper, scream, yell..etc... we are not perfect after all, only human, but if we earn the right respect first, we can be given a certain amount of latitude when we do a social faux pas.

I should have looked at your question and link first-I just asked about the same study but found the article in another paper! I believe the study, but it's darn depressing.
Since most people do want to be liked, it's hard to choose between respect and being liked, but I've chosen respect. I've spent quite a bit of time in my field, and when I've changed jobs I've been willing to start at the bottom. Many managers aren't use to dealing with women or men who are not intimidated nor respect authority automatically. I know when to not show emotion, and when to show I'm upset or angry. I've messed with many a manager's mind when I just stared at them like, "what's your problem?" lol
If I had a choice, being liked is ok, but I'd rather be respected at my job. Outside of work, I could care less.

I would rather be respected. I like to be liked, but I care more about being treated as a useful member of society. Women shouldn't have to choose between the two. We've managed to do both time after time.
