Longitudinal convergent validity/Evidence
Method evidence record

Longitudinal convergent validity

Longitudinal convergent validity evaluates whether a scale's indicators correlate with theoretically related constructs not just at a single time point but consistently across repeated measurement occasions. It extends standard convergent validity testing into longitudinal designs to ensure that the scale measures the intended construct in the same meaningful way over time.
