Mariya Yukhymenko is an Associate Professor of Research and Statistics in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at California State University, Fresno. Dr. Yukhymenko was a Visiting Research Specialist at Learning Sciences Research Institution at the University of Illinois Chicago. She holds a sport qualification of Master of Sport of Ukraine in rhythmic gymnastics.

As an Associate Professor of Research and Statistics, she teaches a total of eight courses per academic year while maintaining an active research agenda. Her methodological expertise lies in statistical modeling (EFA/CFA, SEM/ESEM, MLM/MSEM, LCA/LPA, longitudinal, Bayes) and scale development. The main areas of her substantive focus are: 1) Coach development and well-being; 2) Academic and athletic identities of student-athletes; and 3) Sense of purpose in life. 

Dr. Yukhymenko's research on coach development and well-being explores different types of coaching identities — generalized coaching identity, winning-centered coaching identity, and holistic athlete-development coaching identity — along with coaches' views on their purpose in relation to athlete development (including the 4Cs: sport-specific and general competencies, confidence, connection, and character). She examines how these factors — coaches' identities, values, and views on coaching purpose — contribute to the well-being of coaches and the growth and well-being of athletes. 

In her work on the academic and athletic identities of student-athletes, Dr. Yukhymenko primarily focuses on NCAA Division I athletes to examine the dynamic relationships between these identities, analyzing how they relate to student-athletes' achievement and well-being across academic, athletic, and career domains. Her goal is to better understand how strong athletic and academic identities shape student-athletes' experiences and to identify strategies that can support their successful transition into careers. 

Dr. Yukhymenko also investigates the role of a sense of purpose in life in educational attainment, career development, and well-being across diverse populations, including K-12 students, college students and athletes, working adults, and sport coaches. Recently, her focus has expanded to developing interventions aimed at fostering a sense of purpose in life among high school students. 

She is a member of the editorial boards of the Sport, Exercise, and Performance Psychology, for which she was awarded the 2020 Outstanding Reviewer of the Year, and of the International Sport Coaching Journal, for which she received the 2023 Editorial Board Member of the Year award. Her research has been cited by the American Psychological Association’s press (College Athletes With Abusive Coaches More Willing to Cheat), Inside Higher Ed, The Washington Post, ScienceDaily, APA Monitor on Psychology, MyScience, NBC News, NineMSN News, and The Indo-Canadian Voice among others.

My research focuses on the substantive-methodological synergy. For methodological interests, I am particularly interested in scale development and validation and in application of multilevel and structural equation modeling to the real-world-data analyses. My substantive interests lie in the intersection of positive, educational, and sport psychology, with focus on positive development of college students and adults in and outside of sport, and in providing methodological support to the research of other scholars.

I have used the following analyses in my research and research of other scholars across various domain areas (education, psychology, sport, marketing, library, learning sciences, etc.): 
  • Scale develoment and validation
  • Structural equation modeling
  • Multilevel modeling: multilevel path analysis (HLM), multilevel structural equation modeling
  • Exploratory structural equation modeling (full-ESEM, set-ESEM)
  • Exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, bifactor factor modeling, hierarchical factor modeling
  • Latent class analysis, latent profile analysis
  • Longitudinal growth modeling
  • Intervention data analysis
  • Bayesian estimation
  • Path analysis
  • Factor mixture modeling (a combinatin of factor analysis with latent profile analysis)
  • Rasch measurement model (winsteps)

Software:
  • Mplus (primary software for research)
  • JASP (primary software for teaching)
  • Others: SPSS, jamovi, HLM, Winsteps
