Professor Caughlin studies the connections between interpersonal communication and personal relational well-being. He is interested in understanding how people successfully manage the challenges of relationships, including the inevitable conflicts and health issues that partners encounter. His research suggests that effective communicators strategically choose their words and understand indicated meanings. The theme of his work involves recognizing the factors from multiple people’s perspectives and contexts that contribute to or undermine relational well-being. Additionally, he explores how communication, especially when mediated by technology (e.g., texting), can both facilitate and interfere with relationships. Particularly, he examines the modes of communication used in contemporary contexts and how they relate to relational closeness.
