概要	Longitudinal construct validity evaluates whether a psychological scale measures the same latent construct in the same way across multiple time points. It is tested by progressively constraining a confirmatory factor model across waves and comparing model fit, ensuring that observed change scores reflect genuine change in the underlying trait rather than measurement drift.	Confirmatory factor analysis tests a researcher-specified factor structure against observed data. Unlike exploratory approaches, the researcher decides in advance which indicators load on which latent factor, and the model is evaluated by how closely the implied covariance matrix reproduces the sample covariance matrix. CFA is central to scale validation, construct validity assessment, and measurement invariance testing.
