Longitudinal Construct Validity/Evidence
Method evidence record

Longitudinal Construct Validity

Longitudinal construct validity evaluates whether a psychological scale measures the same latent construct in the same way across multiple time points. It is tested by progressively constraining a confirmatory factor model across waves and comparing model fit, ensuring that observed change scores reflect genuine change in the underlying trait rather than measurement drift.
