Abstract
Abstract The Covid-19 pandemic has been affecting millions of individuals. Dealing with the psychological impacts of Covid-19, including depression, anxiety, and stress, can negatively impact one’s relational experience, potentially lowering relationship satisfaction. This study aims to understand how distress caused by Covid-19 is related to relationship satisfaction and investigate the mediating role of dyadic coping. Using a sample of 233 individuals residing in Turkey who self-identified as being in a romantic relationship, this study found that the Covid-19 distress was negatively linked with relationship satisfaction, and individual’s perception of dyadic coping mediated such relationship. Theoretical and clinical implications are discussed.
