Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:The pandemic caused by Covid-19 led to social isolation that had economic, social, and individual consequences. For example, isolation constituted a challenge to intimate relationships due to their physical distance or forced coexistence 24 hours a day, as a result of the measures imposed by the government. Thus, the aim of the present study was to analyze whether the national lockdown which ran from March 18 to May 2, 2020, affected online infidelity and the quality of intimate relationships. The study included 1704 participants (1418 females and 274 males), aged between 17 and 70 years. They completed a questionnaire that was online from the first to the last day of the national lockdown. The questionnaire included sociodemographic questions, questions related to the lockdown, the Online Infidelity Scale, the Perceived Relationship Quality Component Inventory, the Subjective Happiness Scale, and the Family Strengths Questionnaire. Results showed that men tended to engage more in online extradyadic behaviors as a function of lockdown time and that relationship quality tended to decrease for both genders as lockdown days increased.
