We experimentally test how citizens behave when they are able to click on one of three different buttons posted next to others\u2019 comments\u2014\u201cLike,\u201d \u201cRecommend,\u201d or \u201cRespect.\u201d In the experiment, political attitudes predicted button clicking, but the button label affected the strength of the relationship. In some instances, people clicked on fewer buttons associated with likeminded comments and more buttons associated with counter-attitudinal comments when the button was labeled with \u201cRespect\u201d as opposed to \u201cLike\u201d or \u201cRecommend.\u201d The pattern of results for the \u201cRecommend\u201d button differed across two issues. The results suggest that political comments can trigger stereotypical reactions. Although the \u201cLike\u201d button is well known, news organizations interested in promoting less partisan behaviors should consider using a \u201cRespect\u201d button rather than the \u201cLike\u201d or \u201cRecommend\u201d button in comment sections.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1461444816642420","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,4,21]],"date-time":"2016-04-21T01:35:31Z","timestamp":1461202531000},"page":"1727-1743","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Like, recommend, or respect?
