“…A study including 57 nations found that countries with higher cultural looseness (vs. tightness) had nearly five times as many COVID-19 cases, and over eight times as many deaths (Gelfand et al, 2021). Other work has also found lower COVID-19 prevalence or mortality rates for countries emphasizing social order (Endress, 2022), acceptance of authority (Kumar, 2021), and collectivism (Kumar, 2021;Webster et al, 2021).…”

The COVID‐19 pandemic continues to affect couples worldwide who vary in sociocultural values, norms, and expectations, but most work examining connections between pandemic‐related stress and couples' relationships has been conducted in the US or similar Western cultures. Guided by the vulnerability‐stress‐adaptation (VSA) model (Karney & Bradbury, 1995), we present a revised theoretical framework for evaluating how sociocultural contexts may moderate the ways in which pandemic‐related stress risks poor couple functioning or promotes couples' resilience. We briefly describe the theoretical model and associated relationship research in the pandemic context and then evaluate how two illustrative sociocultural contexts (country/culture and race/ethnicity) might impact pandemic‐related external (disease risks and stress exposure) and internal (psychological distress and felt belonging) stress and adaptive relationship functioning. Our review reveals that much remains to be learned about how couples embedded in different sociocultural contexts have adapted over the course of the global pandemic and highlights key areas for future research.

“…This adjustment leads to minimal or even nonexistent disparities in values within countries (Shakhobiddin, 2022). However, the levels of spiritual well-being can differ within countries due to various factors, such as socio-economic and demographic characteristics (Endress, 2022). While religious well-being may drive heightened levels of spiritual wellbeing, there can still be variations in existential well-being among individuals (Armond et al, 2020).…”

As a form of implementing Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in educational institutions, an appropriate learning model is needed, which also accommodates aspects of spirituality. Before developing a model, baseline data is needed, so a broad-scale or national needs analysis is needed. This research aims to determine the profile of spirituality-based action competence for sustainability (ACS) among prospective biology teacher students throughout Indonesia. This research is a cross-sectional survey. The target respondents are students of LPTK biology education study programs in Indonesia. The target population size is 650 people, so based on the Krejcie and Morgan table, the minimum sample size with a confidence level of 95% and a margin of error of 5% is 620 students. The data collection instrument used in this research is the action competence for sustainability instrument based on spirituality (ACSIS). Data on respondent characteristics were analyzed using frequencies and percentages. The mean and standard deviation of scores were calculated for each item. Comparisons of two groups of students were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U Test, while comparisons of more than two groups used the Kruskal-Wallis H Test. We discuss interesting findings in this research, including the aspects of spirituality in ACS among prospective biology teacher in Indonesia.

“…Research has shown that individuals experiencing pandemic-related stress (e.g., financial hardship, limited resources) show declines in relationship satisfaction and increased problems (Bevan et al, 2023;Overall et al, 2023;Pietromonaco & Overall, 2021, 2022. Individuals experiencing greater stress or loneliness early in the pandemic also reported lower relationship quality, more conflict (Balzarini et al, 2023), and increased verbal aggression (Overall et al, 2021).…”

We examined whether the impact of the pandemic on couple relationships varied across cultural contexts. Following from studies showing better outcomes (lower disease risk, greater well-being) within cultures higher in tightness (having strong norms promoting conformity) or collectivism (vs. individualism), we predicted that tighter and more collectivistic contexts would be associated with better relationship functioning. Preregistered analyses using existing data collected during the pandemic ( N = 2510; 12 countries), indicated, counter to predictions, that individuals from countries higher in tightness or collectivism evidenced greater relationship conflict. Cultural context was unrelated to relationship quality. Stress, attachment insecurity, and perceived partner responsiveness predicted relationship quality during the pandemic, but cultural context generally did not moderate these links. Perceived partner responsiveness, however, predicted relationship quality more strongly within more collectivistic (vs. more individualistic) countries. We discuss possible explanations for these findings, limitations of the data, and the need for larger studies including a broader range of countries, individuals, and cultural contexts.
