Psychometric evaluation of the Overexcitability Questionnaire-Two applying Bayesian Structural Equation Modeling (BSEM) and multiple-group BSEM-based alignment with approximate measurement invariance [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2015 The Overexcitability Questionnaire-Two (OEQ-II) measures the degree and nature of overexcitability, which assists in determining the developmental potential of an individual according to Dabrowski’s Theory of Positive Disintegration.

Investigating non-invariance of psychological intimate partner violence measures in the demographic and health surveys: roles of survey design and national context in 19 countries [PDF]
BMC Women's HealthBackground One third of adult women report lifetime psychological intimate partner violence (IPV). Controlling behavior is a common dimension of psychological IPV; however, evidence is mixed on its cross-national and cross-time measurement invariance ...

Tori Approximation of Families of Diagonally Invariant Measures
Geometric and Functional Analysis, 2023 We approximate any portion of any orbit of the full diagonal group $A$ in the space of unimodular lattices in $\RR^n$ using a fixed proportion of a compact $A$-orbit. Using those approximations for the appropriate sequence of orbits, we prove the existence of non-ergodic measures which are also weak limits of compactly supported $A$-invariant measures.

Revisiting the Middleton Alienation Scale: In Search of a Cross-Culturally Valid Instrument
Survey Research Methods, 2020 The article contributes to the issue how to deal with measurement non-variance. I address a well-established scale by Middleton (1963) which was created to measure alienation.

Measurement Invariance: Testing for It and Explaining Why It is Absent
Survey Research Methods, 2020 There has been a significant increase in cross-national and longitudinal data production in social science research in recent decades. Before drawing substantive conclusions based on cross-national and longitudinal survey data, researchers need to ...

Invariant measures for solvable groups and Diophantine approximation [PDF]
Israel Journal of Mathematics, 2017 We show that if $\mathcal{L}$ is a line in the plane containing a badly approximable vector, then almost every point in $\mathcal{L}$ does not admit an improvement in Dirichlet's theorem. Our proof relies on a measure classification result for certain measures invariant under a non-abelian two dimensional group on the homogeneous space $\mathrm{SL}_3 ...
