Are You Experiencing Negative Sentiment Override (Nso)?
The Gottmans are the most prominent researchers regarding Negative Sentiment Override and they've conducted a series of studies regarding this particular aspect. When there's NSO, roses are left to die and the energy which would've been used to water them would be replaced by the persistent and deeply frustrating feeling of being trapped with a oneso partner in a void that appears to be endless. This quiz would help to know what Negative Sentiment Override means as well as how to identify it.

Correct Answer
B. When trust has been brokenExplanation
NSO, or Non-Sexual Occurrence, refers to a situation in a relationship where one or both partners engage in intimate activities with someone outside the relationship without involving sexual intercourse. The correct answer, "When trust has been broken," aligns with the concept of NSO as it implies that the breach of trust is a crucial factor leading to such occurrences. The other options, "When one of the partners isn't committed" and "When divorce has become an option," may be contributing factors but do not directly address the core aspect of trust being broken.Rate this question:

According to Dr. Gottman, not all problems can be resolved. Which of the following options is correct?
- A.
Dr. Gottman is wrong
- B.
Dr. Gottman was being realistic
- C.
All problems have favourable solutions
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
B. Dr. Gottman was being realisticExplanation
Dr. Gottman's statement that not all problems can be resolved is correct because in reality, there are certain issues in relationships that cannot be completely solved or resolved. This is a realistic perspective as it acknowledges that there may be differences or conflicts that cannot be completely eliminated, and it is important for couples to learn how to manage and cope with these ongoing issues in a healthy and constructive manner. It is unrealistic to expect that every problem in a relationship can be completely resolved.Rate this question:
