| Resumo≠ | Longitudinal EFA applies exploratory factor analysis separately at each measurement occasion — or jointly across occasions — to discover whether the same latent factor structure emerges over time and whether factor loadings remain stable across waves. It is the foundational data-driven approach for examining structural change and continuity in panel and developmental research. | Longitudinal measurement invariance testing determines whether a psychological scale measures the same construct in the same way across two or more time points. It is a prerequisite for interpreting mean-level change scores in panel and repeated-measures studies, ensuring that observed change reflects true change in the construct rather than drift in the measurement instrument. |
