Need for Closure Moderates the Break in the Message Effect. [PDF]
Front Psychol, 2016 Cutting the message into smaller portions is a common practice in the media. Typically such messages consist of a headline followed by a story elaboration. In a series of studies Dolinski and Kofta (2001) have shown that such a break in the message increases the effect of the information provided in the headline over that of a story which actually ...

British Journal of Psychology, 2012 In contrast to the ample research that shows a positive relationship between the need for closure ( NFC ) and heuristic information processing, this research examines the hypothesis that this relationship is moderated by the ability to achieve closure ( AAC

The Mathematical Gazette, 2019 When defining a group, do we need to include closure? This is a detail that is often touched upon when the notion of a group is introduced to undergraduates. Should closure be listed as an axiom in its own right, or should it be regarded as an inherent property of the binary operation?

Trusting others: The polarization effect of need for closure. [PDF]
Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 2014 Because trust-related issues inherently involve uncertainty, we expected individuals' social-cognitive motivation to manage uncertainty--which is captured by their need for closure--to influence their level of trust in others. Through the results of 6 studies, we showed that higher need for closure was related to more polarized trust judgments (i.e ...

Beliefs in conspiracy theories and the need for cognitive closure [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2013 An important component of conspiracy theories is how they influence, and are influenced by, the evaluation of potential evidence. Some individuals may be more open minded regarding certain explanations for events whereas others may seek closure and thus cut off a conspiracy explanation.

Closures are Needed for Closed Module Systems
, 2005 In a classical paper of D.H.D. Warren, the higher-order extensions of Prolog were questioned as they do not really provide more expressive power than meta-programming predicates. Without disputing this argumentation in the context of a logic programming system without modules, we show that the situation is different in a closed module system. By closed
