Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper describes a programme of research addressing an intriguing inconsistency in research findings about cognitive processes under a high need for cognitive closure (NFC). While early studies demonstrated that individuals who seek closure opt for closed-minded cognitive strategies, a growing body of research has identified a number of circumstances in which individuals who are high in NFC engage in effortful, open-minded information processing to an even greater extent than their low NFC counterparts. This has posed the challenge of delineating the circumstances under which people motivated to reduce uncertainty (i.e., attain closure) engage in effortful and open-minded cognition from those situations in which they rely on simplistic, low-effort strategies. This also calls for theoretical advancement in NFC theory. We discuss our proposed solution to this puzzle and the implications of this model for real-world social phenomena.

不同的道路确定处理策略选择需要关闭

摘要本文描述了一项研究计划，旨在解决关于高度需要认知闭合（NFC）的认知过程的研究结果中存在的有趣的不一致性。虽然早期研究表明，寻求封闭的人会选择封闭的认知策略，但越来越多的研究已经发现，在许多情况下，NFC水平高的人比NFC水平低的人更努力、更开放地进行信息处理。这就提出了一个挑战，即从那些依赖简单化、低投入策略的情况中，界定出那些有动机减少不确定性（即实现封闭）的人在何种情况下进行努力和开放的认知。这也要求NFC理论的理论进步。我们讨论了我们提出的这个谜题的解决方案，以及这个模型对现实世界社会现象的影响。

期刊介绍： The "European Review of Social Psychology (ERSP)" is a distinguished international journal that operates under the patronage of the European Association of Social Psychology. It serves as a platform for comprehensive, theory-driven reviews that cover the broad spectrum of social psychology. The journal is open to submissions from authors worldwide and is guided by a prestigious international editorial board. ERSP is particularly interested in publishing reviews that reflect the author's own research program, as demonstrated by their publications in leading peer-reviewed journals. The journal values theoretical contributions that are grounded in a substantial empirical foundation, situating the research within the broader context of existing literature and offering a synthesis that goes beyond the individual articles. In addition to these in-depth reviews, ERSP also welcomes conventional reviews and meta-analyses, further enriching the journal's offerings. By focusing on high-quality, evidence-based research, ERSP contributes significantly to the advancement of knowledge in social psychology and fosters a deeper understanding of human social behavior across cultures and societies.
