According to Papacharissi (2004), incivility can "be operationalized as the set of behaviors that threaten democracy, deny people their personal freedoms, and stereotype social groups" (p. 267). The researcher developed an index to code for civility or lack thereof in online political discussions. This index consisted of the three following questions, and if the answer to at least one of them was affirmative, the message was labeled uncivil (p.274).
