Description
Dikla Segel-Karpas, Roi Estlein, and Roni Elran-Barak study how distrust between partners can erode a relationship. Their paper is from two thousand twenty-four. They focus on cynical hostility: the belief that others act from selfish motives. A person may hold this view in general, or believe their own partner holds it.
Couples were surveyed twice, during and after a COVID lockdown period. Believing one's partner was hostile went with lower closeness in both waves. Lower closeness, in turn, went with lower satisfaction with the relationship. The harm was worse for people who also felt depressed. Seeing a partner as hostile mattered more than one's own hostility. The authors suggest that perceived distrust is a quiet risk factor for couples.
