%X Following the global outbreak of COVID-19 in March 2020, individuals report psychological distress associated with the “new normal”—social distancing, financial hardships,
and increased responsibilities while working from home. Given the interpersonal nature
of stress and coping responses between romantic partners, based on the systemic
transactional model this study posits that perceived partner dyadic coping may be an
important moderator between experiences of COVID-19 psychological distress and
relationship quality. To examine these associations, self-report data from 14,020 people
across 27 countries were collected during the early phases of the COVID-19 pandemic
(March–July, 2020). It was hypothesized that higher symptoms of psychological distress
would be reported post-COVID-19 compared to pre-COVID-19 restrictions
(Hypothesis 1), reports of post-COVID-19 psychological distress would be negatively
associated with relationship quality (Hypothesis 2), and perceived partner DC would
moderate these associations (Hypothesis 3). While hypotheses were generally supported, results also showed interesting between-country variability. Limitations and
future directions are presented.
