Minimal Emotional Self-Awareness
Expressions activating this band show little clear engagement with inner emotional experience, or only very general self-reference without sustained noticing or description of feelings. The content is often neutral, practical, or only loosely connected to emotional reflection.
Low Emotional Self-Awareness
Expressions activating this band show awareness that distress, worry, pain, or thoughts are present, but the experience is captured in a broad, immediate, or reactive way. Feelings are noticed as impactful or overwhelming, with limited clarity, articulation, or reflective distance.
Moderate Emotional Self-Awareness
Expressions activating this band show deliberate noticing of feelings and internal experiences, including attempts to observe emotions without being absorbed by them. Emotional states are recognized as distinct experiences, though clarity, sharing, or evaluation of those feelings may remain uneven.
High Emotional Self-Awareness
Expressions activating this band show clear, sustained attention to emotions and bodily signals, along with insight into how feelings shape thoughts and behavior. Inner states are tracked, differentiated, and often put into words with reflective precision, even when the expression mentions difficulty doing so.
Acute Emotional Self-Awareness
Expressions activating this band show highly precise access to inner feeling states, with exact recognition of what is being felt and strong confidence in identifying it. Emotional experience is represented with exceptional immediacy and specificity.

Minimal Non Reactivity Inner: Expressions show no meaningful non reactivity inner content. The proxy is effectively absent. Expressions activating this band are unrelated to non reactivity inner.
Emerging Non Reactivity Inner: Non reactivity inner is experienced here predominantly in its cognitive and anticipatory form. Expressions reflect apprehension, concern, and expectation of negative outcomes. This is the first band where non reactivity inner becomes detectable. Expressions activating this band likely reflect anticipatory or cognitive non reactivity inner.
Elevated Non Reactivity Inner: Non reactivity inner is clearly present at this level. Unlike the band below, where non reactivity inner was characterized by the cognitive and anticipatory form, the proxy here has shifted in character. The facets that dominated at lower levels have receded. Expressions activating this band reflect non reactivity inner at this level of intensity.
Severe Non Reactivity Inner: Non reactivity inner is clearly present at this level. Compared to the band below, non reactivity inner is more intense and concentrated but retains the same essential character. Expressions activating this band reflect non reactivity inner at this level of intensity.
