I would lump them together, because both of them ("awe" and "respect") work similarly - they are pull strategies = create followers. Dominance is a push strategy and creates subordinates. "Prestige status is the newer form of status acquisition strategy. Prestige status is based on a person’s competence, ingenuity, and superior characteristics: such as size (height and muscularity), beauty, skills, knowledge, bravery, social and networking skills, verbal ability, entertaining ability, entrepreneurship, leadership. The behavior of others is altered by awe, admiration, and expectation of benefits to be gained by deferring. These can take many forms such as access to mates, goods, services, knowledge & information (Henrich, Gil-White, 2001), coordination, leadership, and gaining status through association. The resulting cooperation from prestige is based on voluntarily conferred deference."
