Minimal Media Exposure
Expressions activating this band contain little to no clear engagement with mediated content and are dominated by unrelated life events, activities, or factual prompts. Media-related content, if present, is incidental rather than a salient focus of the expression.
Limited Media Exposure
Expressions activating this band refer to occasional or indirect contact with disturbing events, reminders, or reported incidents, with media contact present but not yet central. The expression may blend real-world threat, trauma reminders, and sparse references to viewed or heard material.
Moderate Media Exposure
Expressions activating this band describe recognizable engagement with television, radio, news events, or upsetting online content as part of everyday experience. Media contact is explicit and may include both ordinary consumption and emotionally unsettling material.
High Media Exposure
Expressions activating this band center on frequent or sustained television viewing, often framed as a regular habit or substantial weekly activity. Media use is a prominent behavioral focus of the expression.
Intense Media Exposure
Expressions activating this band focus on vivid, threat-laden mediated content involving terrorism, hijacking, attacks, or catastrophic public violence. Media contact is highly salient and concentrated on dramatic, fear-evoking coverage.

Expressions activating this band likely reflect acute stress disorder at a clinical or disorder-relevant level.
Elevated Acute Stress Disorder: Acute stress disorder is clearly present at this level. Unlike the band below, where acute stress disorder was characterized by the clinical form, the proxy here has shifted in character. The facets that dominated at lower levels have receded. Expressions activating this band reflect acute stress disorder at this level of intensity.
Severe Acute Stress Disorder: Acute stress disorder is clearly present at this level. Compared to the band below, acute stress disorder is more intense and concentrated but retains the same essential character.
