    Abstract: Etiquette is sometimes thought of as an artificial and arbitrary set of rules and conventions that are irksome to follow, that hamper freedom and add unnecessarily to the complexity of life. As a matter of fact, the laws of social behavior, which we call good manners or etiquette, are not superimposed upon humanity; they have grown naturally out of human experience and need. They have developed through the ages and have become established because they make living and working together more agreeable. Etiquette is not the key to all our problems as social beings. Living and working successfully with others involves much more than mastery of the rules of etiquette. But etiquette does simplify life. Of all the lessons that we must learn in order to live successfully with others, the rules of etiquette are the easiest to master and for the effort expended probably bring the best return. This chapter discusses social, street, and business etiquette. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
