Panic Proneness
Dimension 531 of 1,100 · Health Lens
Panic Proneness measures the tendency for expressions to convey sudden surges of fear, panicky arousal, and alarm about bodily sensations or impending catastrophe. It encompasses spontaneous panic feelings, fear-driven interpretations of physical symptoms, and episodes that can feel intense or impairing.
Minimal Panic Proneness
Expressions activating this band show little to no clear panic-related content, or only very indirect mention of fear without sudden alarm, bodily surge, or panicky experience.
Mild Panic Proneness
Expressions activating this band describe episodic fear with noticeable bodily arousal such as pounding heart, chest tightness, breathing concern, or fear of going out alone. Panic is present as situationally triggered alarm and worry about what physical sensations might mean.
Moderate Panic Proneness
Expressions activating this band center on becoming scared or panicky for no clear reason. The defining feature is sudden unexplained panic-like fear stated directly, with less emphasis on elaborated consequences.
High Panic Proneness
Expressions activating this band describe pronounced panicky states that are intense, recurrent, or disruptive to functioning. Panic is framed as a significant symptom experience rather than an isolated moment of fear.
Severe Panic Proneness
Expressions activating this band convey acute, sudden panic as a prominent and readily triggered experience, often accompanied by intense physical sensations such as numbness, tingling, visual disturbance, or fear of losing control. Panic appears immediate, forceful, and debilitating.
