요약	Ordinal nomological validity examines whether a construct measured with ordinal items (e.g., Likert-type scales) behaves in theoretically predicted ways within a nomological network — a web of expected relationships with other constructs and criteria — using methods suited to ordinal data rather than assuming continuous measurement.	Ordinal discriminant validity assesses whether a latent construct measured by ordinal (Likert-type) items is empirically distinct from other constructs in the same instrument. It applies polychoric correlations and ordinal-appropriate factor loadings to standard discriminant validity criteria such as the Fornell-Larcker rule and the Heterotrait-Monotrait ratio (HTMT), ensuring that validity conclusions are not distorted by the non-continuous nature of ordered-response data.
