Beundring

Beundring er en social følelse, der føles overfor personer, der har kompetencer, talent eller evner, der anses at overgå sædvanlige standarder.^[1] Admiration facilitates social learning in groups^[2] Beundring kan være motiverende for selvudvikling gennem læring fra rollemodeller.^[3]

Beundring kan medføre, at den person, der beundres modtager en særlig positiv opmærksomhed.
