Although online political incivility has increasingly become an object of scholarly inquiry, there exists little agreement on the construct’s precise definition. The goal of this work was therefore to explore the relational dynamics among previously identified dimensions of online political incivility. The results of a regularized partial correlation network indicated that a communicator’s desire to exclude attitude-discrepant others from discussion played an especially influential role in the variable network. The data also suggested that certain facets of incivility may be likely to be deployed together. Specifically, the data suggested the existence of two identifiable groupings of incivility factors: (1) variables pertaining to violation of speech-based norms and (2) variables pertaining to the violation of the inclusion-based norms that underlie democratic communication processes. These results are discussed in the context of political discussion and deliberation.

政治上的不文明维度的网络分析

尽管在线政治上的不文明行为已日益成为学术研究的对象，但对于这种结构的精确定义却鲜有共识。因此，这项工作的目的是探索先前确定的在线政治不活跃维度之间的关系动态。正规化的部分相关网络的结果表明，沟通者希望将态度不佳的其他人排除在讨论之外，这在可变网络中起着特别重要的作用。数据还表明，某些不活跃因素可能会一起部署。具体而言，数据表明存在两个可识别的不活跃因素分组：（1）与违反基于语音的规范有关的变量，以及（2）与违反构成民主沟通过程基础的基于包容性规范有关的变量。在政治讨论和审议的背景下讨论了这些结果。
