Minimal Relationship Dissolution
Expressions activating this band show little clear relationship-ending content and instead contain diffuse, incidental, or only weakly relevant references to interpersonal strain or life events. The experience of a close bond ending is largely absent or only minimally implied.
Low Relationship Dissolution
Expressions activating this band describe vulnerability in close bonds through limited commitment, social comparison, upsetting departures, or feared loss of an important person's future. Relationship instability is present mainly as concern, threat, or indirect disruption rather than a clearly realized ending.

The relationship is experienced as damaged, breaking down, or emotionally painful to sustain.
High Relationship Dissolution
Expressions activating this band center on explicit breakup events such as divorce, serious separation, infidelity, or direct evaluation of a breakup experience. The ending of the relationship is concrete and personally salient.
Severe Relationship Dissolution
Expressions activating this band focus tightly on breakup itself as an immediate, dominant experience, often framed in direct terms of breaking up, having broken up, or wanting to end a close tie. Relationship termination is the central event rather than a surrounding circumstance.
