תקציר	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.	Construct validity is the degree to which a test or scale actually measures the theoretical construct it is intended to measure. Introduced by Cronbach and Meehl in 1955, it is the central validity concern in psychological and educational measurement, evaluated by accumulating multiple lines of empirical and logical evidence rather than by any single statistical test.
