Low Family Relationship Quality
Expressions activating this band describe family relationships in a limited or mixed way, often through indirect indicators such as arguing, dissatisfaction, or concern about relatives rather than a clear global appraisal of the bond. The relationship content is present but not yet richly developed as a direct evaluation of family closeness or support.

High Family Relationship Quality
