An individual's own and their perceived partner cynical hostility are conceptualized as vulnerability factors, decreasing couples' intimacy and relationship satisfaction. The perceived partner cynical hostility may be especially harmful when distress is high.
Longitudinal data were collected in two waves (during and after the COVID-19 lockdown), relying on the respondents' self-reports.
Intimacy mediated the association between perceived partner cynical hostility and relationship satisfaction in both waves. The association between perceived partner cynical hostility and intimacy was stronger when depressive symptoms were higher. No longitudinal effects were found.
The perceived partner cynical hostility could be a meaningful vulnerability factor, hampering the ability to establish intimacy and, in turn, relationship satisfaction. The toll may be greater when individuals experience greater vulnerability.
个体自身以及他们所感知到的伴侣的愤世嫉俗敌意被视为脆弱因素，会降低夫妻间的亲密感和关系满意度。当压力较大时，感知到的伴侣的愤世嫉俗敌意可能尤其有害。
通过两波（新冠疫情封锁期间及之后）收集纵向数据，数据依赖于受访者的自我报告。
在两波数据中，亲密感均介导了感知到的伴侣的愤世嫉俗敌意与关系满意度之间的关联。当抑郁症状较高时，感知到的伴侣的愤世嫉俗敌意与亲密感之间的关联更强。未发现纵向效应。
感知到的伴侣的愤世嫉俗敌意可能是一个有意义的脆弱因素，会阻碍建立亲密感的能力，进而影响关系满意度。当个体经历更大的脆弱性时，代价可能更大。
