Zusammenfassung	Bayesian construct validity assessment uses Bayesian confirmatory factor analysis and related Bayesian structural equation models to evaluate whether a scale or test measures the intended latent construct. It yields full posterior distributions for factor loadings, structural coefficients, and model-fit indices rather than single point estimates, enabling more nuanced and uncertainty-aware validity conclusions.	Bayesian measurement invariance testing evaluates whether a scale's factor loadings and item intercepts are equivalent across groups, using a Bayesian framework that allows parameters to deviate from strict equality by a small, probabilistically specified amount rather than imposing an exact constraint.
