I believe the answer is:

respecting

'it's to do with' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'regard for others' is the wordplay.
'regard' becomes 'respect' ('respect' can be a synonym of 'regard').
'for' says to put letters next to each other.
'others' becomes 'ing' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'respect'+'ing'='RESPECTING'

'showing' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for respecting that I've seen is " showing esteem".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
