Cascade Model of Dissolution
The Cascade Model of Relational Dissolution is a relational communications theory that proposes four negative behaviors that lead to the breakdown of marital and romantic relationships[1]. This theory focuses on the negative influence of nonverbal communication habits on the success and/or failure of marriages and other relationships.[1] Gottman’s model uses a metaphor that compares the four negative communication styles that lead to the breakdown of a relationship to the biblical Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse[1].
Background:
This model is the work of psychological researcher John Gottman, a professor at the University of Washington and founder of The Gottman Institute and his research partner Robert W. Levenson.[2] Gottman and Levenson's research focuses on differentiating failed and successful marriages and notes that nonverbal emotional displays progress in a linear pattern, creating a negative emotional and physical response that leads to withdrawal.[1] Prior to the development of the model (1992-1994) little research had been conducted that focused on finding specific interactive behaviors and processes that resulted in marital dissatisfaction, separation, and divorce.[3][4] Additionally, Gottman and Levenson's research indicated that not all negative interactions, like anger, are predictive of relational separation and divorce.[3] Gottman and Levenson's research notes that the "cascade toward relational dissolution" can be predicted by the regulation, or non-regulation, of positive to negative interactions of couples, with couples that regulated their positive-to-negative interactions being significantly less likely to experience the cascade.[3]

Page Thoughts: Cascade Model of Relational Dissolution
I would like to build the basic structure of an article with background info that other, more knowledgeable scholars can build upon.
Article Evaluation:
American Literature (academic discipline)
Thoughts on Article:
content: Initial comment is underdeveloped and needs expansion. The wording is awkward in places. Missing information on movements and theoretical approaches to study. Could use images.
tone: Tone is good and not biased.
sourcing: Has two comments in the second paragraph that are not cited.
- Source 1: is older/out of date, 1995, and cannot be viewed. I happen to be familiar with the book referenced. Other than being old, content would be acceptable in an article of this topic.
- Source 2: is also a book. It's a biography of an early American historian. Only some of its content would be connected to the study of American Literature. Source is from 2011. Biographer does have a specific view on topic, bias.
- Source 3: has an ISBN. I am also familiar with this book and it is acceptable.
- Source 4: has some info, but it is from a talk in 1996 and is more interested with Dartmouth's role in American Literature than the development of the content.
- Source 5: is a link to the journal being referenced. Acceptable
- Source 6: Information is current and connected to content. Acceptable
Talk Page: only has two comments. There is a link to a page on the same topic that seems to be the primary article that is significantly more developed. C-Class and mid importance, part of Wiki Project Education.
