Admiration is a social emotion that has implications for behavior, such as leading to a desire to emulate the admired person. This study extends previous findings about admired attributes among emerging adults, by investigating the same topic in Greece and also exploring the relationship between admired person types and admired qualities, gender, and socio-economic status. A total of 198 participants aged 18 to 25 (mean age = 19.46 years; 50% women) provided written descriptions of five attributes that they admire in a non-fictional person. A hybrid coding scheme was used. The most prevalent categories were Drive and Determination, Care and Generativity, and Resilience and Positivity. Some prevalence differences were found by person type, gender and socio-economic status. The findings extend the understanding of admiration in new directions by supporting a high level of cross-cultural consistency in admired attributes, but also some features that are unique to the Greek context.

钦佩是一种对行为有影响的社会情绪，例如导致模仿被钦佩的人的愿望。本研究通过调查希腊的同一主题，并探索被钦佩的人类型与被钦佩的品质、性别和社会经济地位之间的关系，扩展了先前关于新兴成年人受钦佩属性的研究结果。共有 198 名 18 至 25 岁的参与者（平均年龄 = 19.46 岁；50% 为女性）提供了他们钦佩的非虚构人物的五个属性的书面描述。使用了混合编码方案。最普遍的类别是驱动力和决心、关怀和创造能力以及复原力和积极性. 根据人的类型、性别和社会经济地位，发现了一些流行率差异。这些发现通过支持钦佩属性的高度跨文化一致性，以及希腊语境独有的一些特征，将钦佩的理解扩展到新的方向。
