Dylan Selterman's research focuses on the role of secure vs. insecure attachment in romantic relationships. He is interested in studying how people use their partners as a secure base to explore their world, grow, expand, achieve, learn, and thrive. His recent research is on dreams of people in relationships -- specifically, how people dream about their romantic partners (and alternatives), and how dreams influence people's behavior. In addition to studying dreams, Dylan studies jealousy, morality, and autobiographical memory.
