Minimal Intergroup Hostility
Expressions activating this band contain little to no clear hostility toward a social group or identity-based community, instead focusing on neutral personal circumstances, values, or practical burdens. Any group-related content is incidental rather than antagonistic.
Low Intergroup Hostility
Expressions activating this band show irritation, anger, or criticism that is present but limited, often centered on interpersonal remarks, dissatisfaction, or diffuse frustration rather than sustained group-directed antagonism. Group or identity references may appear, but hostility is not yet the dominant organizing feature.
Moderate Intergroup Hostility
Expressions activating this band convey clear resentment or anger tied to how one is treated by institutions, communities, or relationship partners, with blame and grievance becoming more explicit. Identity-related regret, exclusion, or unfair treatment is directly named.
High Intergroup Hostility
Expressions activating this band present pronounced anger, alienation, or self-directed shame linked to social groups, identity communities, or institutional neglect. The expression frames group belonging or group response as a source of betrayal, conflict, or intense resentment.
Severe Intergroup Hostility
Expressions activating this band explicitly endorse prejudice, rejection, or avoidance toward identity-defined groups, or describe feeling directly rejected and harmed by such groups. Hostility is overt, categorical, and organized around social exclusion or stigmatizing beliefs.
