Margolin","doi":"10.1037/cfp0000240","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1037/cfp0000240","url":null,"abstract":"As couples adapted to the stressful, pandemic-induced disruptions to daily life (e.g., closures of schools, working from home), many couples experienced changes to established divisions of paid and household labor. The present study investigates whether contributions to household responsibilities and perceptions of fairness in divisions of labor are associated with couple relationship satisfaction and disagreements. Gender, number of children in a family, and financial stress during the pandemic are included as moderators. Four hundred seventy-nine participants (52.8% women;ages 19-72, Mage = 34.54) in the United States completed an online survey as part of a larger study on couples coping with COVID-19. Linear mixed models showed that women, compared to men, reported doing more household responsibilities, with a widening gender gap based on the presence and number of children, and reported lower fairness. For women, the association between responsibilities and relationship disagreements increased with greater financial stress. Fairness was related to positive relationship outcomes;however, number of children moderated the strength of this association in different directions for women and men. Financial stress also increased the association between fairness and relationship functioning. Results underscore the importance of how couples manage their everyday household responsibilities and, especially, how their perceptions of fairness affect relationship outcomes. The extent to which these findings generalize beyond the pandemic to family life more generally remains to be determined, but the results suggest that the division of responsibilities and fairness, particularly during times of stress and upheaval, are putatively important and protective relationship elements. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved) Impact Statement Approximately 1 year into the COVID-19 pandemic, perceived fairness in the division of household responsibilities had a protective role for couple relationship functioning, particularly for women, couples with children, and couples experiencing financial stress. Although it is yet unknown whether these results extend to other time periods, working toward a division of responsibilities perceived as fair can be a meaningful goal for couple and family therapists, and for couples themselves.

To reduce the risk of contamination, many countries have ordered a strict lockdown characterized by social distancing and restrictive isolation measures. This pandemic has profoundly affected couples' daily lives. The objective of our three-wave longitudinal study (N = 229) was to examine the trajectory of couple satisfaction during 1 year of COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown, with dyadic coping as a predictor of the intraindividual change. Our results showed that couple satisfaction remained stable over time. Dyadic coping was also found to be a predictor of intraindividual changes in partners' Relationship Dissatisfaction and Difficulties in Problem-solving Communication during the pandemic: Relationship Dissatisfaction increased over time when dyadic coping was weak, while Difficulties in Problem-solving Communication decreased over time when dyadic coping was high. The discussion underlined the importance of focusing couple interventions on dyadic coping during stressful situations, like the COVID-19 pandemic.","PeriodicalId":45636,"journal":{"name":"Couple and Family Psychology-Research and Practice","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74080558","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We investigated the association between daily stress and feelings of closeness toward the partner within individuals during a particularly stressful time (i.e., first societal lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany) and examined whether a preference for coping together with one's partner attenuates the negative effect of stress on closeness. We conducted a two-wave experience-sampling study for 7 days at the beginning of the lockdown (April 2020, Wave 1) and for 7 days 3 weeks later (May 2020, Wave 2). Participants rated the extent to which they cope with stress together with their partner once at the beginning of the study. During both waves, participants received a questionnaire on stress, partner contact, and closeness three times a day (N of participants = 272, N of observations = 6,377). Multilevel analyses confirmed the negative within-person association between stress and closeness: In situations when participants experienced greater stress than usual, they felt less close to their partner. In addition, we found a significant three-way interaction: When participants had partner contact, the negative effect of stress was buffered by their preference to cope dyadically rather than individually. Taken together, the present study found that stress was negatively associated with closeness, notably both within and between individuals. Furthermore, this association was exacerbated among participants who typically do not prefer to cope with stress with their partner, suggesting that these individuals in particular may benefit from interventions targeting coping skills at the couple level.","PeriodicalId":45636,"journal":{"name":"Couple and Family Psychology-Research and Practice","volume":"61 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87116752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
