Abstract
Abstract This study explores the role of labeling in the process by which individuals come to perceive their personal indebtedness as indicative of a deviant status. Particular attention is paid to the respective roles one's informal social network and self-help groups play in promoting the transformation from a non-deviant to deviant status. In-depth interviews with a convenience and snowball sample of 46 members of Debtors Anonymous (DA), was supplemented with contextual data from a DA newsletter and other print materials. The theoretical implications for both labeling theory and identity change processes are discussed. This article is a revised version of a paper presented at the 2008 annual meeting of the Canadian Qualitative Research Conference at the University of New Brunswick, Fredericton, New Brunswick. Notes ∗Denotes the number of other 12-step groups respondents reported belonging to before joining Debtors Anonymous. Column 1 = Case # of female participants. Column 2 = Marital Status of Female Participants (M = Married, S = Single, D = Divorced). Column 3 = Nature of Relationship between female participant and "labeler." Column 4 = "Labeler" had firsthand experience with twelve-step groups. Column 5 = "Labelee" had prior experience with twelve-step groups. Column 6 = Case # of male participants. Column 7 = Marital Status of Male Participants. Column 8 = Nature of Relationship between male participant and "labeler." Column 9 = "Labeler" had firsthand experience with twelve-step groups. Column 10 = "Labelee" had prior experience with twelve-step groups. ∗Denotes missing data; N/A = Not Applicable. 1These statements also are an example of "either/or alternatives" (Ebaugh 1988:132).

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
