Psychometric properties of the Icelandic NEO-FFI in a general population sample compared to a sample recruited for a study on the genetics of addiction
Gyda Bjornsdottir,Fridrik H. Jonsson,Ingunn Hansdottir,Anna Birna Almarsdóttir,Maria Heimisdottir,Thorarinn Tyrfingsson,Valgerdur Runarsdottir,Kristleifur Kristjansson,Hreinn Stefansson,Thorgeir E. Thorgeirsson +9 more
TL;DR: Results of psychometric testing of the Icelandic NEO-FFI demonstrated internal consistency and temporal stability and a combination of high neuroticism, low conscientiousness and low agreeableness predicted membership in the Treated group.
Journal ArticleDOI
From paper to web

TL;DR: While the Icelandic NEO-FFI and ARHQ have demonstrated measurement equivalence in paper and web mode, mode equivalence of psychometric measures may require ongoing evaluation as perceptions of web privacy continue to evolve.

TL;DR: A low-frequency PRPH splice-donor variant is found that associates with NC amplitude and neurological assessment of recalled PRPH variant carriers reveals increased risk of a mild sensory-negative PN.

TL;DR: Genetic correction of biomarker values could improve prediction algorithms and decision-making based on these biomarkers, and provide insights into the genetic contribution to diversity in concentration of tumor biomarkers in blood.
Mechanism of vibrational relaxation and intersystem crossing within excited ion-pair states of I 2
TL;DR: In this article, the vibrational distributions in the emitting states were obtained as a function of pressure to determine the mechanism of relaxation to populate the lowest quantum levels of the D' state, which are the emitted states in the I2 laser.
