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.	Longitudinal confirmatory factor analysis (longitudinal CFA) applies a theoretically specified measurement model to data collected at two or more time points. Its primary purpose is to verify that a scale measures the same latent construct in the same way over time — a prerequisite for drawing valid conclusions about change from repeated-measures data.
