Resumé	Ordinal nomological validity examines whether a construct measured with ordinal items (e.g., Likert-type scales) behaves in theoretically predicted ways within a nomological network — a web of expected relationships with other constructs and criteria — using methods suited to ordinal data rather than assuming continuous measurement.	Ordinal convergent validity assesses the degree to which indicators of the same latent construct correlate strongly with each other when those indicators are measured on ordinal (e.g., Likert-type) scales. It adapts standard convergent validity procedures — factor loadings, average variance extracted, and HTMT ratios — to account for the discrete, bounded nature of ordinal response categories using polychoric correlations and ordinal-appropriate estimation methods.
