Sažetak	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.	Structural equation modeling (SEM) is a comprehensive statistical framework combining path analysis (Sewall Wright, 1921) and confirmatory factor analysis to test complex causal models linking observed and latent variables. Formalized by Jöreskog (1973) with LISREL software, SEM enables simultaneous estimation of measurement relationships (how variables measure latent constructs) and structural relationships (how constructs influence outcomes), making it powerful for theory testing in psychology, epidemiology, organizational research, and health sciences where complex mediation, moderation, and latent processes require integrated analysis.
