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. Participants’ need for a structured, stable environment was measured before we independently manipulated the

Color naming reflects both perceptual structure and communicative need [PDF]
Gibson et al. (2017) argued that color naming is shaped by patterns of communicative need. In support of this claim, they showed that color naming systems across languages support more precise communication about warm colors than cool colors, and that ...

Task structure, need for structure, and creativity
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 ...

Spatial and functional structure of the population area in plants – the need for differentiation
onsidering the population as a homogeneous phenomenon in the process of studying its demography devalues the principle of systemic analysis. Therefore, there is a need to improve methods for identifying intra-population components and clarifying their ...

Structure of strongly coupled, multi-component plasmas [PDF]
We investigate the short-range structure in strongly coupled fluidlike plasmas using the hypernetted chain approach generalized to multicomponent systems. Good agreement with numerical simulations validates this method for the parameters considered.

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 ...
