Bands

Minimal Fortune Attribution

Expressions activating this band show little stable attribution of outcomes to luck or fate, often focusing instead on problem solving, situational difficulty, or mixed statements about personal effectiveness. Fortune-related explanation is absent, weak, or only indirectly implied.

Low Fortune Attribution

Expressions activating this band describe outcomes as somewhat beyond personal control, with setbacks linked to circumstance, limited ability, or disappointing life chances. External influence is present, but luck or fate is not yet the dominant explanatory frame.

Moderate Fortune Attribution

Expressions activating this band explicitly frame life events in terms of fate, bad luck, uncontrollable forces, or constrained opportunity. Outcomes are experienced as shaped by forces that can override personal intention.

High Fortune Attribution

Expressions activating this band portray good outcomes as the result of lucky breaks, divine help, favorable timing, or fortune alongside effort. Luck is treated as a meaningful positive influence on success and life progress.

Extreme Fortune Attribution

Expressions activating this band strongly explain success, failure, and social position through luck, fate, or personal blame as broad governing principles. Life outcomes are cast as fundamentally determined by fortune or fixed responsibility rather than by situational variation alone.
