Welcome to Dr. Dylan Selterman's webpage.
Dreams, Relationships, Emotions, Attraction, and Morality (DREAM) Lab
I am currently a Senior Lecturer at the University of Maryland Psychology Department. As the name suggests, my research interests include: a) close relationships between parents/children, friends, and romantic partners, b) patterns of dreaming and how they influence subsequent behavior, c) how people experience emotions especially those that are related to relationships (e.g., jealousy, love), d) romantic attraction and sexual behavior, and e) morals, ethics, norms, and standards for interpersonal behavior. I am a social psychologist by training, with background in developmental and health psychology as well. I lead mindfulness meditation for students at the University of Maryland. My blog on Psychology Today is called The Resistance Hypothesis.
For my own take on the "commons dilemma" exercise that went viral, read these opinion pieces in the Washington Post, The Conversation, National Geographic, and The Baltimore Sun. See other media coverage of my work on Vox, OprahMag, Huffington Post, Jezebel, Nerve, BPS Digest, Canada.com, The Baltimore Sun, ABC News, USA Today, and Buzzfeed.
