🆕 New pre-print! osf.io/preprints/ps... Are you satisfied with your life because you are satisfied with your friends, health, job, etc.? Or is it actually the other way around: are some people generally satisfied with their life and, because of this, satisfied with their friends, health, job, etc.?

Last week, the very first research paper where I am first author came out as preprint!🥳I investigated how combining longitudinal data on childhood psychopathology and polygenic scores in machine learning models predicts adult quality of life. osf.io/preprints/ps....

Help! I recently came across a paper on regression in a structural equation modeling framework where the authors argued that results should be contextualized by assuming different levels of (un)reliability of the variables (or something along those lines). Now I can't find it anymore! Anyone?
