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) Sense of purpose in life; 2) Academic and athletic identities of student-athletes; 3) Coach development and well-being.

Specifically, Dr. Yukhymenko 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, working adults, and sport coaches. Recently, her focus has expanded to developing interventions aimed at fostering a sense of purpose in life.

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

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

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, Inside Higher Ed, The Washington Post, ScienceDaily, APA Monitor on Psychology, MyScience, NBC News, NineMSN News, and The Indo-Canadian Voice among others.

Dr. Yukhymenko’s research focuses on the substantive-methodological synergy. For methodological interests, she is particularly interested in scale development and validation and in application of multilevel and structural equation modeling to the real-world-data analyses. Her 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.
