{"title":"Should I stay or should I go? Evaluating intimate relationship outcomes during the 2020 pandemic shutdown.","authors":"C. Fleming, Alexis T. Franzese","doi":"10.1037/cfp0000169","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1037/cfp0000169","url":null,"abstract":"Past research suggests that intimate partners respond to major stressors in different ways, sometimes by sticking together and sometimes by splitting up. Couples living through the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States are facing a unique set of stressors and are likely to experience changes in relationship outcomes as a result. The vulnerability–stress–adaptation (VSA) model suggests that relationship stability and relationship satisfaction are related to demographic variables, individual vulnerabilities (i.e., mental health), external stressors (i.e., finances), and relationship processes (i.e., communication patterns). The current study evaluates each of these variables as potential predictors of relationship satisfaction and thoughts of separating from a relationship, with the goal of identifying risk factors for relationship outcomes in the pandemic. A total of 782 adults with cohabitating intimate partners (89.8% White, 84.5% female) were recruited for an online study during the COVID-19 shutdown phase from April 3 through May 22, 2020. Results suggested that higher relationship satisfaction during the shutdown was related to not having children in the home, lower money stress, higher sexual fulfillment, lower relationship invalidation, and higher perceived fairness of relationship power. Higher thoughts of separation were related to younger age, higher verbal aggression, higher relationship invalidation, and lower relationship satisfaction. Overall, findings support the use of the VSA as a model for understanding the effect of pandemic stress on relationships and indicate that relationships are being affected by many aspects of the pandemic. Couples’ support interventions will need to be adapted to adequately promote relationship health in this difficult time.

{"title":"Did perceived parenting in adolescence change as a result of the COVID-19 lockdown? A natural experiment.","authors":"M. Bacikova-Sleskova, Lucia Barbierik, A. Janovská, O. Kalina, O. Orosová","doi":"10.1037/cfp0000167","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1037/cfp0000167","url":null,"abstract":"The first COVID-19 lockdown was an unexpected event that brought many changes to the lives of individuals as well as family functioning. The aim of this natural experiment is to study the changes in maternal parenting as perceived by adolescents (psychological control, autonomy support, and overcontrol) as a result of the COVID-19 lockdown. The data for T1 were collected in February 2020 and a follow-up was conducted in May 2020 (approximately 8 weeks after lockdown). In total, 155 adolescents participated in both waves (mean age 14.5 years, 60.4% girls). The final sample was biased toward higher achieving pupils with less problematic behavior and more adaptable personality characteristics. The results show a significant decrease in perceived psychological control and feelings of overcontrol but no change in autonomy support. The changes did not vary according to gender or the mother’s employment situation during lockdown. The decrease in psychological control was greater with higher initial levels of satisfaction with the mother and lower levels of disobeying parents. The present study is an important step in understanding the actual changes in parenting (as perceived by adolescents) as a result of the COVID-19 lockdown. Based on our results and previous studies, we argue that the COVID-19 lockdown may have had a positive effect on the dynamics in some families.

Hutchison, A. Tomkunas","doi":"10.1037/cfp0000175","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1037/cfp0000175","url":null,"abstract":"Responding to families at heightened risk for mental health burdens during the COVID-19 pandemic is critical—evidence suggests parents face elevated burdens compared to their nonparent counterparts. Building on studies that demonstrate a spillover of stress across domains and individuals within families, this study examines longitudinal predictors of elevated risks for clinical depression among parents based on relational family indicators, COVID-specific stressors, and stress and emotion regulation indicators. Baseline data were collected from parents (n = 176;average age 37.04, 50% female) on April 27–28, 2020, 5 weeks after the first U.S. quarantines began. Follow-up data were collected 30 days later. Results indicated concerning levels of parents’ mental health symptoms over this short time span, including elevated stressors and exacerbated mental health symptoms for approximately one-quarter of parents. Given the need for agile service responses for those at the greatest risk, this article examines predictions of clinically significant depression through binary logistic regression. These individuals were more likely to report greater anxiety and stress symptoms, as well as report less closeness in their parent–child relationships;couple satisfaction was not a significant predictor of depression. Implications include recommended agile responses to alleviate distress and expand access to mental health supports, particularly in light of pervasive shelter-in place orders that limit access to previously established coping supports and sources of social connection (e.g., schools or community centers), that are anticipated to recur in the months ahead.

This research investigates whether a single-session online writing intervention results in changes in romantic conflict among American adults cohabitating during COVID-19 quarantine (May 2020). Participants (N = 716, 50% female;mean age = 51.8 years) completed a baseline assessment which was followed by a brief (5–8 min) writing task in Qualtrics. Participants were randomized to one of five conditions, where they were asked to write about (a) a conflict with their romantic partner using cognitive reappraisal;(b) a conflict with their romantic partner expressing their deepest thoughts and feelings;(c) a conflict with someone other than their partner using cognitive reappraisal;(d) a conflict with someone other than their partner and a conflict with their partner expressing their deepest thoughts and feelings;or (e) mundane tasks like laundry, house cleaning, or lawn care. In the reappraisal conditions, participants were asked to use this perspective with the target person in the upcoming weeks. Two weeks later, participants were invited to complete a follow-up survey identical to baseline, where they were asked about conflict with their partner during the follow-up period. Results indicated that participants in the romantic partner cognitive reappraisal condition reported fewer disagreements, fewer relationship aggression events, and lower levels of conflict relentlessness with their partner relative to at least one of the control conditions. Results demonstrate preliminary support for a brief, cost-effective, and accessible tool that can help couples mitigate downstream effects of negative interactions during this stressful time.

Langhinrichsen-Rohling","doi":"10.1037/cfp0000174","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1037/cfp0000174","url":null,"abstract":"The transition to parenthood represents a major life event for expectant parents, influencing personal and relational well-being. Unfortunately, the global coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic may undermine first-time expectant mothers’ emotional health as elevated rates of depression, stress, and anxiety have been noted (Rajkumar, 2020). Thus, the current study was conducted to (a) describe the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on first-time expectant mothers’ pregnancy, prenatal care, internal/dyadic and external experiences, (b) investigate the impact of pregnancy-related, internal/dyadic, and external COVID-19 changes on first-time mothers’ mental health (i.e., depression, stress, and anxiety symptoms), and (c) explore whether COVID-related internal/dyadic stressors predicted worse mental health among expectant mothers, above and beyond their general marital satisfaction. Forty-nine first-time, expectant U.S. mothers (Mage = 29.0 years, SD = 3.1) participated via Amazon MTurk between June and July 2020;each completed an online survey about their pandemic prenatal care, delivery plans, current mental health, and relationship. Most expectant mothers (82%) reported distress due to COVID-related prenatal care changes. Additionally, pandemic-related increases in alcohol use, intimate partner violence, and external demands (i.e., caring for someone infected with COVID-19), generally predicted worse mental health for first-time expectant mothers. The effects of increased alcohol use and intimate partner violence on maternal mental health remained, even after accounting for overall marital satisfaction. Conversely, having to isolate or quarantine due to exposure predicted reduced maternal stress. Results underscore the need to provide supports that promote the emotional health of first-time pregnant women and encourage healthy coping with the diverse pandemic-related experiences faced by expectant couples.
