Abstract: The objective of the current investigation was to examine the test–retest reliability and concurrent and factorial validity of a single-item measure to assess self-reported religiosity in an Arab-Muslim population. The sample was comprised of 531 volunteer Kuwaiti Muslim undergraduate men (n = 227) and women (n = 304). Participants responded to the one-item Self-Rating of Religiosity (SRR), the Self-Rating of Strength of Religious Belief (SRSRB), and the Hoge scale of Intrinsic Religious Motivation (IRM; 1972). The SRR had good temporal stability (0.89), and correlated with the SRSRB and IRM (0.577 and 0.498, respectively). One salient factor was extracted in which the SRR had a high loading (0.84). The study concluded that, despite its limitations, assessing religiosity with a single-item measure can be reliable, valid, and viable in community surveys.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate the relation between religiosity and both subjective well-being (SW-B) and neuroticism (N), and find that all the correlations between the six self-rating scales were significant and positive, whereas these rating scales were significantly and negatively correlated with both the FANS and N (NEO) scale.

Measuring Global Self-Esteem: Construct Validation of a Single-Item Measure and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the construct validity of two global self-esteem measures, the Single-Item Self-Esteem Scale (SISE) and the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale (RSE), and found that the SISE had strong convergent validity for men and women, for different ethnic groups, and for both college students and community members.

Intrinsic/extrinsic measurement: I/E-Revised and single-item scales.
TL;DR: In this paper, confirmatory multiple group factor analyses confirmed this suspicion, identifying extrinsic items concerned with social relationships ("Es") and with personal benefits ("Ep") and resulted in a revised intrinsic scale which is now partially counterbalanced for acquiescence, an Es scale, an Ep scale, and three single items which may also be used for measuring these constructs.

Validation of a single‐item measure of burnout against the Maslach Burnout Inventory among physicians
TL;DR: In surveys of physicians where emotional exhaustion is the primary sub-scale of interest, a single-item measure of burnout may be used as an alternative to the Maslach Burnout Inventory in order to abbreviate survey material and potentially increase response rates among physicians.
