Tiivistelmä	Longitudinal discriminant validity tests whether a psychological construct measured at two or more time points is empirically distinct across occasions — ensuring that the same construct does not collapse into a single undifferentiated mass over time. It is a prerequisite for meaningful change modeling in panel and longitudinal research.	Measurement invariance testing is a sequence of nested confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) models that examines whether a psychological scale measures the same latent construct in the same way across distinct groups or time points. Systematized and popularized by Vandenberg and Lance (2000), the procedure tests a hierarchy of constraints — from identical factor patterns to identical item intercepts — so that researchers can justify meaningful group comparisons on latent means.
