This paper investigates when single-item versus multi-item measurement is preferable for that criterion construct. Combining theoretical comparisons with psychometrics, management, and marketing guidance, it then empirically tests hospitality data. Results indicate higher convergent validity for single items with small samples and marginal differences with larger samples, supporting global single-item

Their validation requires running a redundancy analysis, which tests whether the formatively measured construct is highly correlated with an alternative measure of the same construct.
