Christopher I. Eckhardt studies intimate partner violence (violence between romantic partners), focusing on why it happens and what psychological and situational factors increase risk—especially the role of alcohol and other substance use, anger, impulsivity, and narcissistic traits. His work combines laboratory experiments, survey research, and assessment tool development to understand triggers of partner aggression and to inform interventions for perpetrators.
