Overview

Cross-national study uncovers negative effects of pandemic distress on relationship quality in romantic partners, indicating perceived dyadic coping provides protective buffering.

Key Points

To examine whether COVID-19-related psychological distress impairs romantic relationship quality and whether perceived partner dyadic coping moderates this association across different nations.
Gathered self-report cross-sectional survey data from N=14,020 individuals across 27 countries during the initial months of the COVID-19 pandemic (March–July 2020).
Assessed psychological distress before and after restriction rollouts, relationship quality, and perceived partner dyadic coping using the systemic transactional model framework.
Participants reported higher symptoms of psychological distress following COVID-19 restrictions relative to pre-restriction levels.
Post-COVID-19 psychological distress was negatively associated with relationship quality, with perceived partner dyadic coping significantly buffering these adverse effects alongside notable between-country variability.
