Task structure, need for structure, and creativity [PDF]
AbstractAlthough creativity is often seen as requiring spontaneity and flexibility, recent work suggests that there is creative potential in a structured and systematic approach as well. In a series of four experiments, we show that when Personal Need for Structure (PNS) is high, either chronic (Study 1) or situationally induced (Study 2), creative ...

The Need for Closure and the Need for Structure: Interrelationships, Correlates, and Outcomes
Abstract In this study, the authors administered the Need for Closure Scale (A. W. Kruglanski, D. M. Webster, & A. Klem, 1993) and the Personal Need for Structure Scale (as cited in S. L. Neuberg & J. T. Newsom, 1993) to 2 samples of undergraduates, to assess the reliability and validity of these measures.

Telomeres: Structures in need of unwinding [PDF]
Telomeres protect the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes from being recognized and processed as double strand breaks. In most organisms, telomeric DNA is highly repetitive with a high GC‐content. Moreover, the G residues are concentrated in the strand running 3′–5′ from the end of the chromosome towards its center.

The Need for Structure in Quantum LDPC Codes
Existence of quantum low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes whose minimal distance scales linearly with the number of qubits is a major open problem in quantum information. Its practical interest stems from the need to protect information in a future quantum computer, and its theoretical appeal relates to a deep "global-to-local" notion in quantum ...

Need for Structure and the Emergence of Communication. [PDF]
Language is a unique hallmark of humans, it is both learned and symbolic, which poses the problem of emergence: if neither form nor meaning is known, how can individuals communicate in the first place? The current study replicates work that investigates the emergence of signal forms and meanings and explores how Personal Need for Structure (PNS) of ...

Need for structure predicts leadership preference. [PDF]
Prototypicality is an important factor for judgments and evaluations of group members and leadership selection. We tested whether these prototypicality perceptions vary as a function of individual differences in cognitive processing preferences ...
