Christopher R. Agnew studies close romantic relationships, focusing on how people become and stay committed to partners, how they handle singlehood or breakups, and how technology (like virtual reality or webcam-based interactions) shapes intimacy and connection. His work combines social psychology theory with topics like relationship maintenance, commitment readiness, and well-being.
Publication output was highest around 2019-2020, dipped in the following years, and shows a recent uptick with several works dated 2025-2026.
