Résumé	Longitudinal nomological validity evaluates whether a construct's theoretically predicted relationships with other constructs hold consistently across multiple measurement occasions. It extends the nomological network framework of Cronbach and Meehl (1955) to longitudinal designs, testing whether a scale behaves as theory demands not only at a single time point but over time.	Longitudinal measurement invariance testing determines whether a psychological scale measures the same construct in the same way across two or more time points. It is a prerequisite for interpreting mean-level change scores in panel and repeated-measures studies, ensuring that observed change reflects true change in the construct rather than drift in the measurement instrument.
