Samantha and carmine, like many couples, have experienced declining satisfaction over the years. however, samantha is quite adamant that their relationship is “the best it’s ever been! ” how is this possible?

There should be options to choose from for this question. I found them elsewhere. They are:

- Samantha has positive expectancy biases

- Samantha makes positive attributions

- Samantha has a memory bias

- Samantha has an enhancement bias

The correct answer here would be that Samantha has a memory bias. This is when you remember things in the way that you want to remember them and  not actually how things were or are. She has chosen to remember only the positive aspects of her relationship which is fine but Carmine might not remember things in the same way and problems could develop because of this. Many people have memory bias when it comes to their relationships especially long term ones.
