BACKGROUND
Issues regarding close relations became especially prevalent within the context of the pandemic, due to the forced separation of these relationships. This is now seen as a significant stressor that influences emotions and subjective perceptions of the relationship.
OBJECTIVE
The current study aims to investigate the specifics of coping with the forced separation of partners with varying types of closeness.
DESIGN
The study was carried out with quantitative and qualitative methods. The sample included 43 women and 42 men (aged 21-47); all were involuntarily separated from their partners by impacts of the pandemic.
RESULTS
Three scenarios of romantic relationships were identified based on a balance of love components (intimacy, passion, commitment) and prevalent feelings (closeness or distance). The authors concluded that certain coping strategies (positive reassessment, acceptance, distraction) can help the individual to cope with the separation, but do not contribute to the closeness of the partners and the strengthening of the relationship. Coping primarily through active support was typical for partners with intense and balanced feelings based on closeness (Scenario 3). Ambivalent feelings toward a partner (Scenario 1) were associated with passive coping, which increased the risk of detachment. The moderate manifestation of balanced love components and closeness (Scenario 2) focused on acceptance of the situation, positive reassessing, and distraction, all of which reduce the stress of separation, but cause anxiety regarding the future of the relationship.
CONCLUSION
The type of close relationship has been found to correlate to the coping strategy adopted by the couple following forced separation during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, further studies are required to investigate separation in various social contexts, not only in isolation due to the pandemic, as well as its connection to psychological well-being.
背景
由于这些亲密关系被迫分离，与亲密关系相关的问题在疫情背景下变得尤为普遍。现在，这被视为一种影响情绪和对关系主观认知的重大压力源。
目的
本研究旨在调查不同亲密类型的伴侣应对被迫分离的具体情况。
设计
该研究采用了定量和定性方法。样本包括43名女性和42名男性（年龄在21 - 47岁之间）；所有人都因疫情影响而与伴侣被迫分离。
结果
基于爱情成分（亲密、激情、承诺）的平衡和普遍感受（亲密或疏远），确定了三种浪漫关系场景。作者得出结论，某些应对策略（积极重新评估、接受、分散注意力）可以帮助个体应对分离，但无助于伴侣之间的亲密程度和关系的加强。对于基于亲密感且感情强烈且平衡的伴侣（场景3），主要通过积极支持来应对是典型方式。对伴侣的矛盾情感（场景1）与消极应对相关，这增加了关系疏远的风险。平衡的爱情成分和亲密感的适度表现（场景2）侧重于接受现状、积极重新评估和分散注意力，所有这些都减轻了分离的压力，但引发了对关系未来的焦虑。
结论
研究发现，亲密关系的类型与新冠疫情期间伴侣被迫分离后所采用的应对策略相关。然而，需要进一步研究调查各种社会背景下的分离情况，而不仅仅是因疫情导致的孤立分离情况，以及其与心理健康的联系。
