Dr. Valshtein’s research lies at the intersection of self-regulation and close relationships and seeks to better understand a.) the process by which individuals pursue and form romantic relationships, and b.) how perturbations in these processes may undergird problematic relationship behaviors. Recent work includes modeling the process of disengagement from romantic courtship, developing a new measure of presumptuousness in the romantic context, and examining how long-distance couples navigated the COVID-19 pandemic. He is also broadly interested in pedagogical best practices, and advanced quantitative methods including issues in measurement, longitudinal data, survival analysis, case-control matching, and innovative ways to use data for justice-oriented research. Dr. Valshtein teaches courses in psychology spanning personality, social, forensic, research methods, statistics, motivation, and close relationships.
