“…and "How much do you enjoy attending deaf event/parties/gatherings?". Even through the DIDS and DAS have been proven to be valid and reliable, and are frequently used, a second and accepted research tradition exists in psychology studies (see Postmes, Haslam & Jans, 2013). This tradition uses single item questions of identity as a straightforward way of capturing a person's self-perceived identity and one that holds a high face validity.…”

Research has paid attention to how deaf identity affects life outcomes such as psychological wellbeing. However, studies are often carried out with small samples and without including other variables. This study examined how different forms of identity -deaf, hearing, bicultural (deaf and hearing), and marginal (neither deaf nor hearing) -were associated with levels of psychological well-being, including a number of other variables. The sample was 742 adults with hearing loss in Denmark. The study found that identifying as deaf, hearing, and bicultural was associated with better psychological well-being compared to those with a marginal identity. Further, it found that additional disability, educational level, and feeling discriminated against because of hearing loss significantly explained the degree of psychological well-being. Results are discussed here with respect to social identity theory and current deaf identity themes.

“…We used single-item measures instead of multiple-item scales to measure social capital. While some scholars argue for the practical virtues of single-item measures [112,113], future research may try multiple-item measures to better operationalize each dimension of social capital and to enhance reliability. In addition, we did not examine whether other organizational factors limited the positive impact of social capital on corporate innovation.…”

This paper offers a social capital explanation for the purported relationship between human capital investment and an organization's innovation capability. We argue that social capital plays a mediating role in the relationship between the level of individual knowledge of employees and organizations' innovation capabilities. The mediating mechanism is attributed to the role of social capital in knowledge exchange and combination that help enhance knowledge creation. Using survey data of 319 manufacturing firms in Korea, we conducted structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis to verify the mediating role of social capital in firms' innovation performance. The results demonstrated that relational and cognitive dimensions of social capital are important mediators in realizing organizational innovation performance.

“…Finally, single item scales were used to measure disregarding, challenge, and threat appraisals. Although single item measures have been shown to be as reliable and psychometrically sound as multiple-item measures (e.g., Gogol et al, 2014) they remain controversial (Postmes, Haslam, and Jans, 2013).…”

Previous research has examined how subjective task-value and expectancy of success influence the appraisal of value-promoting messages used by teachers prior to high-stakes examinations. The aim of this study was to examine whether message-frame (gain or lossframed messages) also influences the appraisal of value-promoting messages. Two hundred and fifty-two participants in Years 12 and 13 read vignettes of fictional students who were high or low in subjective-task value, and expectancy of success, and asked to imagine how that student would appraise either a gain or loss-framed message. A challenge appraisal followed vignettes with high subjective task-value and high expectancy of success whereas a threat appraisal followed vignettes with high subjective task-value and low expectancy of success. A loss-framed message resulted in a stronger threat appraisal, and a gain-framed message in a greater disregarding appraisal for the vignette with high subjective task-value and high expectancy of success. Value-promoting messages can be appraised in different ways depending on combinations of intrapersonal (subjective task-value and expectancy of success) and interpersonal (message-frame) influences.
