Bands

Minimal Gambling Involvement

Expressions activating this band show little to no gambling-related content and instead reflect unrelated risk judgments, general behavior, or broad self-evaluations. Any gambling involvement present is absent, negated, or too minimal to organize the expression.

Low Gambling Involvement

Expressions activating this band reflect broad risk-taking, impulsive behavior, or financially consequential actions that can include early or indirect signs of betting-related behavior. Gambling appears as occasional experimentation or as one risky activity among several rather than a central focus.

Moderate Gambling Involvement

Expressions activating this band reflect active interest in gambling, gaming, contests, or luck, with betting framed as exciting, socially engaging, or part of regular recreation. Monetary risk is present but not yet consistently centered on large deliberate wagers.

High Gambling Involvement

Expressions activating this band center on deliberate willingness to place substantial bets and on seeing clear appeal or benefit in wagering on races, sports, cards, or casino-style games. Gambling is represented as a valued activity with meaningful financial stakes.

Severe Gambling Involvement

Expressions activating this band reflect direct, current gambling behavior and strong identification with betting activities such as poker, casino games, or sports wagering. Gambling includes staking money that may exceed what the person can comfortably afford to lose.
