Σύνοψη	Short form nomological validity examines whether an abbreviated version of a psychological scale preserves the pattern of theoretically expected correlations with conceptually related and unrelated constructs. It is a cornerstone step in justifying the use of a shortened instrument in research and applied settings.	Convergent validity is the degree to which multiple indicators that are theoretically expected to measure the same construct actually correlate with one another. It is one of the two complementary forms of construct validity identified by Campbell and Fiske (1959) and is now routinely assessed via factor loadings and the Average Variance Extracted (AVE) statistic in SEM-based scale validation.
