Towards the Issue of Impact of the Self-Isolation Regime during the Coronavirus Pandemic on the Marital Conflicts’ Escalation

Abstract

The paper examines the impact of the self-isolation regime during the COVID-19 pandemic on the emer-gence and escalation of marital conflicts. This issue is relevant not only for Russia, but also for the whole world due to the increasing divorce rates and cases of domestic violence. The author analyzes the forms of manifestation of marital conflicts, which are most likely to be provoked by the conditions of the pandemic and the self-isolation regime. The main theoretical approaches to identifying the caus-es of marital conflicts and forms of marital violence are highlighted. It is concluded that studying the impact of the consequences of the pandemic on the emergence and escalation of conflicts between spouses could be helpful to develop ways to reduce tension during the period of self-isolation and strengthen the institution of the family in modern Russia.
