The COVID-19 pandemic created a unique climate for examining the links between stressful conditions and couples’ relationship well-being. According to theories of stress spillover, stressors originating outside the relationship, such as work stress and financial uncertainty, often undermine relationship quality. However, if individuals can easily attribute their problems to the stressful circumstances, their relationship may be more resilient. Given the salience of the pandemic, the current study used two waves of 14-day daily diary data collected from 191 participants to examine whether blaming the pandemic for problems may reduce stress spillover. We also expected the buffering effect of pandemic blaming attributions to wane as stressful conditions persisted and continued to tax partners’ coping resources. Multilevel modeling confirmed that women, but not men, who were more blaming of the pandemic exhibited reduced stress spillover during the COVID-19 outbreak; notably, this buffering effect did not weaken over time.

归咎于大流行:在 COVID-19 大流行期间缓冲压力与人际关系质量之间的关联

COVID-19 大流行为研究压力状况与夫妻关系幸福之间的联系创造了独特的氛围。根据压力溢出理论,源自关系之外的压力源,如工作压力和财务不确定性,往往会破坏关系质量。然而,如果个人可以轻松地将他们的问题归因于压力环境,他们的关系可能会更有弹性。鉴于大流行的显着性,目前的研究使用从 191 名参与者收集的两波 14 天每日日记数据来检验将问题归咎于大流行是否可以减少压力溢出。我们还预计,随着压力条件持续存在并继续对合作伙伴的应对资源征税,大流行指责归因的缓冲作用将减弱。多层次模型证实,在 COVID-19 爆发期间,更倾向于指责大流行的女性,而非男性,表现出的压力外溢减少;值得注意的是,这种缓冲效应并没有随着时间的推移而减弱。
