תקציר	Longitudinal content validity evaluates whether the items of a measure adequately and consistently represent the intended content domain not only at a single point in time but across repeated administrations. It ensures that the conceptual coverage of a scale remains appropriate and stable as measurement occasions accumulate over a study period.	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.
