• The Dynamic Goal Theory of Marital Satisfaction (2011, background): “In the investment model, Rusbult, Martz, and Agnew (1998) suggested that satisfaction, quality of alternatives, and investment size all contributed to commitment level to the current relationship, which was the most important determinant of marital stability (Le & Agnew, 2003).”

• The Investment Model of Commitment Processes (2011, methodology): “Le and Agnew (2003) also examined the average standardized regression coefficients of commitment regressed simultaneously onto satisfaction, alternatives, and investments, and thus they assessed the relative independent contribution of each variable in predicting commitment.”
• You are my best friend: Commitment and stability in adolescents’ same‐sex friendships (2007, background): “A recent meta-analysis (Le & Agnew, 2003) even shows that satisfaction, alternatives, and investments account for nearly two thirds of the variance of commitment, which in turn is a good predictor of relationship breakup.”
