Penalty 11 Persistent internal conflict or dissonance is present Chronic internal dissonance can sustain cognitive stress and fragment coherent self-regulation. Penalty 16

Domain score
100 A+
Group embeddedness and resilience buffering
Active participation in group or community structures is limited Low participation in communal structures can reduce access to shared resilience and belonging. Penalty 16 Regular participation in shared rituals or gatherings is absent Absence of recurring communal rituals can weaken group cohesion and temporal anchoring. Penalty 6 Sense of belonging to a community beyond household is low Low community belonging can elevate existential isolation and reduce stress-buffering from group identity. Penalty 16

Domain score
100 A+
Outward orientation and reduced self-focus reactivity
Regular contribution to others' wellbeing is limited Low outward contribution can reduce generative orientation and increase self-focused stress patterns.
