Abstract


 

Adjustments to both distance and crowding rules after the pandemic provide opportunities for how couples perceive their relationship. The purpose of this study was to review self-disclosure and perceptions of relationship satisfaction in couples after the pandemic period. The measuring instrument used was the relationship satisfaction measurement scale from Hendric (1988) and the adjustment of the measuring instrument by Matthew Martin (2004) for self-disclosure. The total sample of the study was 82, although the results showed that there was no relationship between the two variables. The condition of the distance, and dating time between partners has a fairly varied frequency in expressing relationship satisfaction and disclosing the value or relationship in public (social media).
