Resumo	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.	Measurement invariance testing is a sequence of nested confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) models that examines whether a psychological scale measures the same latent construct in the same way across distinct groups or time points. Systematized and popularized by Vandenberg and Lance (2000), the procedure tests a hierarchy of constraints — from identical factor patterns to identical item intercepts — so that researchers can justify meaningful group comparisons on latent means.
