While intended to deter offenses, objections can influence the surrounding audience observing the interaction, leading to their collective approval or disapproval. The results of an experiment manipulating seven types of objections against common types of offenses indicate audiences\u2019 support for objections that implore via appeals and disapproval of objections that threaten the offender, as they view the former as more moral, appropriate, and effective compared to the latter. Furthermore, audiences tend to prefer more benign and less threatening objections regardless of the offense severity (following the principle of \u201ctaking the high road\u201d) instead of objections proportionate to the offense (\u201can eye for an eye\u201d). Taken together, these results show how objections to offensive behaviors may impact collective perceptions on social media, paving the way for interventions to foster effective objection strategies in social media discussions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jcmc\/zmad046","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,19]],"date-time":"2023-12-19T03:31:33Z","timestamp":1702956693000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Standing up to problematic content on social media: which objection strategies draw the audience\u2019s approval?"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Pengfei","family":"Zhao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Communication, Cornell University , Ithaca, NY, USA"}]},{"given":"Natalie N","family":"Bazarova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Communication, Cornell University , Ithaca, NY, USA"}]},{"given":"Dominic","family":"DiFranzo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science & Engineering, Lehigh University , Bethlehem, PA, USA"}]},{"given":"Winice","family":"Hui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Communication, Cornell University , Ithaca, NY, USA"}]},{"given":"Ren\u00e9 F","family":"Kizilcec","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information Science, Cornell University , Ithaca, NY, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0257-6217","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Drew","family":"Margolin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Communication, Cornell University , Ithaca, NY, USA"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,18]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"2023121903311529300_zmad046-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"179","DOI":"10.1016\/0749-5978(91)90020-T","article-title":"The theory of planned behavior","volume":"50","author":"Ajzen","year":"1991","journal-title":"Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes"},{"issue":"3","key":"2023121903311529300_zmad046-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"223","DOI":"10.1093\/esr\/jcy005","article-title":"Normative change and culture of hate: An experiment in online environments","volume":"34","author":"\u00c1lvarez-Benjumea","year":"2018","journal-title":"European Sociological Review"},{"key":"2023121903311529300_zmad046-B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"259","DOI":"10.1016\/j.chb.2013.10.036","article-title":"Cyberbullying on social network sites.
