Bayesian Convergent Validity/Evidence
Method evidence record

Bayesian Convergent Validity

Bayesian convergent validity applies Bayesian statistical inference to assess whether different measures of the same construct converge as theory predicts. Rather than a single-point correlation estimate, it yields a full posterior distribution over the convergent correlation, enabling probability statements about the magnitude of shared variance between theoretically related measures.
