Loneliness in Sexual and Gender Minority Youths: Critical Implications of a Multidimensional Approach Open
Purpose: Loneliness is a widely studied transdiagnostic risk factor for myriad mental and physical health outcomes. However, it is often treated as unidimensional, potentially obscuring complex patterns of health disparities across differe…

Do societal concepts and experiences of psychopathology align? Comparing large language models and self-reports Open
Society has constructs to understand psychopathology, which do not necessarily correspond to people’s experience of these problems. This study examined alignment between societal and psychological constructs by comparing concepts encoded i…

Model Fit is a Fallible Indicator of Model Quality in Quantitative Psychopathology Research: A Reply to Bader and Moshagen Open
We review the limitations of model fit indices, which limit the validity of inferences that are based on them. In doing so, we encourage psychopathology researchers to think about model selection more broadly, and to approach model fit ass…

Model fit is a fallible indicator of model quality in quantitative psychopathology research: A reply to Bader and Moshagen. Open
As evidenced by our exchange with Bader and Moshagen (2022), the degree to which model fit indices can and should be used for the purpose of model selection remains a contentious topic. Here, we make three core points. First, we discuss th…

Disparities in COVID-19-related trauma and internalizing symptoms across sexual orientation, race/ethnicity, and their intersection during the pandemic Open
Sexual minority individuals face elevated risk for internalizing problems due to minority stress, and internalizing problems may have been exacerbated with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study examined sexual orientation- and rac…
