To slow the transmission of COVID-19, countries around the world have implemented social distancing and stay-at-home policies-potentially leading people to rely more on household members for their sense of closeness and belonging. To understand the conditions under which people felt the most connected, we examined whether changes in overall feelings of social connection varied by household size and composition. In two pre-registered studies, undergraduates in Canada (NStudy 1 = 548) and adults primarily from the U.S. and U.K. (NStudy 2 = 336) reported their perceived social connection once before and once during the pandemic. In both studies, living with a partner robustly and uniquely buffered shifts in social connection during the first phases of the pandemic (βStudy 1 = .22, βStudy 2 = .16). In contrast, neither household size nor other aspects of household composition predicted changes in connection. We discuss implications for future social distancing policies that aim to balance physical health with psychological health.
为了减缓 COVID-19 的传播，世界各地的国家都实施了社交距离和居家政策——这可能导致人们更加依赖家庭成员来获得亲近感和归属感。为了了解人们感到联系最紧密的条件，我们研究了总体社会联系感的变化是否因家庭规模和组成而异。在两项预先注册的研究中，加拿大的本科生（NStudy 1 = 548）和主要来自美国和英国的成年人（NStudy 2 = 336）在疫情爆发前和期间各报告了一次他们的社交联系感。在这两项研究中，与伴侣一起生活在疫情爆发的第一阶段强有力地且独特地缓冲了社交联系的变化（βStudy 1 =.22，βStudy 2 =.16）。相比之下，家庭规模和家庭组成的其他方面都不能预测联系的变化。我们讨论了未来社交距离政策的影响，这些政策旨在平衡身体健康和心理健康。
