The Impact of Personality in the Selection of Teacher Students: Is There More to it Than the Big Five?

The bandwidth-fidelity dilemma is a controversially discussed problem in personality measurement. In this study, we contrasted the utility of broad versus narrow personality traits in an admission exam for teacher students. We compared the Big Five and narrow personality constructs (social-communicative behavior, achievement behavior, health and recreation behavior), which were part of an assessment battery for teacher student selection (N = 1120), regarding overlap and predictive validity.

Synthesis and antiproliferative activity of new cytotoxic azanaphthoquinone pyrrolo-annelated derivatives: Part II.

A series of 6-azanaphthoquinone pyrrolo-annelated derivatives carrying different basic side chains have been synthesized. The antiproliferative activities of all compounds were evaluated on at least four different cell lines with Mitoxantrone as reference compound. Cytotoxic effects and DNA intercalation behavior were investigated.
