The present study takes a dyadic approach to examine whether cynical hostility is related to one\u2019s own and their spouse\u2019s loneliness. We further explore whether friendship factors serve as a mediator between individuals\u2019 and spouses\u2019 cynical hostility and loneliness.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>We used 2 waves of the Health and Retirement Study (N = 1,065 couples) and Actor-Partner Interdependence Models (APIMs) with mediation to examine the proposed model.

Husband\u2019s loneliness was also significantly associated with his wife\u2019s cynical hostility, but wife\u2019s loneliness was not associated with her husband\u2019s cynical hostility. We further found that the association between wife\u2019s own cynical hostility and loneliness was mediated by lower levels of contact with, and support from friends. Friendship factors did not serve as mediators for husbands.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Husbands and wives who have higher levels of cynical hostility may be more vulnerable to loneliness. High levels of cynical hostility in women may be related to deficits in their quantity and quality of friendship, and thus be associated with loneliness. Men who are married to women with a higher level of cynical hostility may experience increased loneliness, but this relationship is not explained by men\u2019s friendships.<\/jats:p>\n
