"The objective of the study was to investigate the content, criterion, and construct validity of a single-item measure of stress symptoms. Such a concise measure would be useful in monitoring stress at work. The criteria for validity were convergence with conceptionally close measures, the plausibility of associations with health and work characteristics, and the power to discriminate between groups.The stress-symptoms item showed satisfactory content, criterion and construct validity for group-level analysis. It is suggested that the longer scales used to measure psychological stress can be replaced with it in survey research."
