🚨 (Another) IPV pub 🚨 to plug :) Internalized stigma has long been theorized to relate to IPV perpetration/use among queer couples, but exactly how remains an open question. I wanted to parse this out more. Lots of findings so go read the paper but some highlights: psycnet.apa.org/record/2027-...

Love to see this! Tbh I don't think we see enough of this type of careful work poking & prodding our assumptions about the timescale of important processes

Excited to share a paper recently accepted at Nature Mental Health! 😄 For decades, we've assumed that covariance among psychopathology informs comorbidity. What if we’ve been wrong?

Will have more to say about the dySEM paper (w/ @omarjcamanto.bsky.social )/JOSS another time, but for, now, just struck--similar to doing my first Registered Report--in terms of how much I feel like this approach (not without tradeoffs) is a big improvement in terms of scientific value-allignment

Thanks to everybody who chimed in! I arrived at the conclusion that (1) there's a lot of interesting stuff about interactions and (2) the figure I was looking for does not exist. So, I made it myself! Here's a simple illustration of how to control for confounding in interactions:>
