Jordan, Jeremy S.; Turner, Brian A. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2008
Researchers in a number of disciplines have examined the utility of single-item measures for both affective and cognitive constructs. While these authors have indicated that, under certain circumstances, the use of single-item measures is appropriate, there remains concern regarding the reliability and validity of single-item measures. This study…
