Wording notes: the stem presupposes a negative impact and asks only about its frequency, offering no option for a positive or neutral effect other than 'Never'
tilts_affirming — Asking 'how often have recent politics negatively impacted your well-being' builds the direction of the effect into the stem; a symmetric version would ask whether politics had affected well-being positively, negatively or not at all.
