Sintesi	Bayesian discriminant validity assessment evaluates whether two theoretically distinct latent constructs are empirically separable, using posterior distributions and credible intervals rather than single-point null-hypothesis tests. It is applied within Bayesian confirmatory factor analysis or via the Bayesian heterotrait-monotrait ratio (HTMTb) to determine whether constructs measuring different traits are sufficiently differentiated.	Bayesian confirmatory factor analysis tests a pre-specified factor structure using Bayesian inference. Instead of point estimates with p-values, it produces full posterior distributions for loadings, factor correlations, and residual variances, allowing the researcher to incorporate prior knowledge and propagate parameter uncertainty naturally.
