Measuring Belief in Conspiracy Theories: Validation of a French and English Single-Item Scale (2016, background): “Second, it is not always the case that single-item scales are associated with poor psychometric properties (Rammstedt & Beierlein, 2014).”
Investigating Right Wing Authoritarianism With a Very Short Authoritarianism Scale (2018, background): “Assessment times in large-scale social surveys are typically expensive and severely limited (Rammstedt & Beierlein, 2014).”
Validation of the Short and Extra-Short Forms of the Big Five Inventory-2 (BFI-2) and Their German Adaptations (2020, methodology): “Therefore, the widely used Cronbach’s alpha coefficient will tend to underestimate the reliability of the scales (see Rammstedt & Beierlein, 2014), and retest coefficients will provide more appropriate reliability estimates.”
A Personal Resource for Technology Interaction: Development and Validation of the Affinity for Technology Interaction (ATI) Scale (2019, methodology): “However, the BFI-10 is frequently used despite these issues (e.g., Lehenbauer-Baum & Fohringer, 2015; Rammstedt & Beierlein, 2014) and test-retest coefficients indicate good reliability (Rammstedt & John, 2007).”
