Are the dimensions of meaning in life distinct? A bifactor model of comprehension, purpose, and mattering with four samples. Open
In recent years, the tripartite conceptualization of meaning in life (MIL) including (a) coherence/comprehension, (b) purpose, and (c) significance/mattering has received growing scholarly consensus and some support from factor analytic fi…

Sexual choking/strangulation and its association with condom and contraceptive use: Findings from a survey of students at a university in the Midwestern United States Open
Introduction Consensual sexual choking has become prevalent among young United States (US) adults. In sex between women and men, women are overwhelmingly the ones choked, perhaps reproducing traditional heteronormative power dynamics. No r…

Detecting differential item functioning in presence of multilevel data: do methods accounting for multilevel data structure make a DIFference? Open
Assessment practices are, among other things, concerned with issues of fairness and appropriate score interpretation, in particular when making claims about subgroup differences in performance are of interest. In order to make such claims,…
