Two line graphs compare the impact of complaint tone on brand attitude in airline and hotel contexts.The image contains two line graphs side by side. The left graph represents the airline context, while the right graph represents the hotel context. Both graphs illustrate the relationship between a brand's accommodative response and bystanders' brand attitude, moderated by the tone of complaints, either civil or uncivil. The x-axis of each graph is labeled 'Brand's Accommodative Response,' ranging from 1.0 to 2.0. The y-axis is labeled 'Bystanders' Brand Attitude,' ranging from 1 to 7. Each graph includes two lines: one for civil complaints and one for uncivil complaints. In both contexts, the line for civil complaints shows a steeper positive slope compared to the line for uncivil complaints, indicating that accommodative responses have a stronger positive effect on brand attitude when complaints are civil. The civil complaint line in the airline context has an R-squared value of 0.073, while the uncivil complaint line has an R-squared value of 0.034.
