Abstract:

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? There is no clear answer to this question, although there are firm opinions on both sides. Indeed, a very brief survey of group theory textbooks found in [1, pp. 458-459] suggests that there is a rough 50 : 50 split between authors who include closure explicitly and those who do not. In this Article, we go back to the beginning of the twentieth century to provide some historical perspective on this problem.

Abstract:

Abstract. Several studies demonstrated that a high need for closure (NFC) is associated with higher prejudice toward the out-group. This study aims to investigate how this effect can be moderated by attributions of morality to the in-group and the out-group. A questionnaire was administered to 725 participants. The results showed a positive relationship between NFC and prejudice when the in-group was evaluated as more moral than the out-group. This relationship was weaker when the out-group was evaluated as more moral than the in-group. These findings implicated that it is possible to reduce prejudice in individuals with high NFC by manipulating perceptions of in-group and out-group morality.

Abstract:

Aim of the present study is to find the relationship between Forgiveness and Need for Closure and to find the influence of one on the other. Convenience sampling was used to collect data from a sample of 200 young adults from different parts of India, using Heartland Forgiveness Scale (Yamhure Thompson et al., 2002) and Need for Closure Scale (Paliwal & Kumar, 2022) with good reliability and validity. SPSS 29 analysis shows no significant gender differences in forgiveness and the need for closure. Observations suggested a weak negative correlation (r = 0.161, p < 0.05) between Forgiveness and Need for Closure. Regression analysis further indicated that Forgiveness has a moderate influence on the Need for Closure (R² = 0.025), emphasizing its role as a coping mechanism that can mitigate the desire for cognitive closure. These findings open the door to future research that can deepen our understanding of the intricate relationship between forgiveness and the need for closure. Key words: Forgiveness, Need for Closure, Gender Differences, Correlation, Regression.

Abstract:

Abstract. When considering how criminals should be punished, most individuals prefer retributive (i.e., punishment compensating for the harm caused by the perpetrator) over utilitarian justice (i.e., punishment with the intent to deter future crime). However, past research has found that individuals with a high (vs. low) need for cognitive closure (NCC) are more likely to endorse utilitarian punishment. In three studies, we replicated past research on the association between need for closure and utilitarian justice (Study 1), and found that this relationship is mediated by moral concerns pertaining to group unity and cohesion (Study 2). In Study 3 we examine another instance of utilitarian policy: torture. Our data provide evidence that preference for utilitarian punishment is rooted in basic moral concerns.

Abstract:

Abstract. Little is known about epistemic motivations affecting political ideology when people make environmental decisions. In two studies, we examined the key role that political ideology played in the relationship between need for cognitive closure (NCC) and self-reported eco-friendly behavior. Study 1: 279 participants completed the NCC, pro-environmental, and political ideology measures. Mediation analyses showed that NCC was related to less pro-environmental behavior through more right-wing political ideology. Study 2: We replicated these results with a nonstudent sample (n = 240) and both social and economic conservatism as mediators. The results of Study 2 showed that social conservatism mediated the relationship between NCC and pro-environmental behavior. Finally, NCC was associated with pro-environmental attitude through both social and economic conservatism.

Abstract:

Using the English version of the Need for Closure Scale, this research investigated previous, though largely ignored, recommendations to exclude the close-mindedness subscale and to treat the Need for Closure Scale as a two-factor (vs single-factor) scale. Reliability and correlational analyses supported the recommendation to exclude close-mindedness. The two-factor model without close-mindedness yielded better fit indexes than a single-factor model or a two-factor model with close-mindedness. Despite the strong cross-cultural use of the scale, no investigation had yet tested the two-factor model without close-mindedness using any language other than Dutch. The present results and discussion can improve the study of need for closure by encouraging more researchers to consider the supported recommendations. Roets and Van Hiel's proposed modification to make the Need for Closure Scale a single-factor scale was also discussed.

Abstract:

Need for closure is a new construct in consumer behavior and marketing management research. This construct is considerably robust to measure consumer’s epistemic motivation. Epistemic motivation is a desire based action to obtain relevant knowledge to make judgment or buying decision. Previous study measures need for closure construct with reflective measurement model specification. Conceptual analysis shows that need for closure construct is a formative model due to the equality of its dimensions. This study shows strong evidence that formative measurement model specification is more robust than reflective model to test the model of influence of need for closure of online consumer and flow level in the internet environment

Abstract:

Background: There is need to determine the optimal management strategy for dirty abdominal surgical wounds. The aim of this study was to evaluate the post-operative wound complications in children whose dirty surgical wounds were closed primarily, in relation to those closed by delayed primary closure. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective evaluation of children, aged 15 years and younger, who had laparotomy for peritonitis in a teaching hospital in Enugu, Nigeria. This study covered a 5-year period. The following data were evaluated: patients’ age, gender, presenting symptoms, laboratory results at presentation, duration of symptoms before presentation, time interval between presentation and intervention, intra-operative finding, definitive operative procedure performed, complications of treatment, and outcome of treatment of the 2 groups of patients. Results: A total of 204 cases of peritonitis in children were operated upon during the study period. The incisions were closed by primary closure (Group A) in 104 (51%) while 100 (49%) surgical wounds were closed by delayed primary closure (Group B). More males were involved. All the patients had abdominal pain and about half the patients were anemic and had electrolyte imbalance at presentation. Typhoid intestinal perforation was the most common cause of peritonitis and closure of ileal perforation was the most frequent performed surgical procedure. Comparing the 2 groups of patients, surgical site infection and stitch related were less common in group B patients whose surgical incisions were closed by delayed primary closure. Conclusion: Delayed primary closure of dirty laparotomy incisions has less complication in terms of surgical site infection and stitch related complications. Therefore, delayed primary closure of dirty laparotomy wounds is advocated in pediatric population.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study whether diverting auditors to erroneous accounts leads to higher effectiveness and detection of errors. Also, this paper investigates the effect of the need for cognitive closure of auditors on audit effectiveness and detection of errors in the presence of audit management. Design/methodology/approach The authors used a financial statement containing a diverting statement and several errors for measuring audit management and used a survey to measure auditors’ need for closure. Research sample consisted of 79 independent auditors having above three years of audit experience. The set of financial statement and questionnaire (measuring the need for closure of auditors) was given to auditors and they had enough time to fill them. Findings Results show that diverting auditors to accounts containing error does not lead to higher effectiveness and detection of errors. Also, auditors need for closure character does not affect their effectiveness and detection of errors in the financial statements. Practical implications Diverting auditors to erroneous accounts leads to higher detection of earning management. With this regard, the results increase the awareness of auditors that diverting auditors away from important errors to easy-to-detect erroneous accounts leads to their belief of achieving the audit objectives by detecting phony errors and misstatements. In other words, the results alert auditors of managers’ techniques of audit management. Originality/value This study contributes to the literature on audit management and need for cognitive closure of auditors in Iran’s audit environment and introduces these concepts to this environment. The paper will be of value to Association of Iranian Certified Public accountants to include stricter measure in appraisal of audit firms’ quality and educate its participants about audit management and mediating effect of the need for closure of auditors on the detection of errors and misstatements in financial statements.

Abstract:

<p style="text-align: justify;">A comparative study of the relationship between the need for cognitive closure, social anxiety, and cognitive strategies for regulating emotions in social phobia was carried out. We examined 135 people (57.8% female; Mage=32.8&plusmn;11.3 years) with a diagnosis of "Social phobia" (F40.1, ICD-10), combined with other mental disorders (mean disorder duration &mdash; 13.1&plusmn;8.1 years). The comparison group was represented by 100 people without mental disorders (53% female; Mage=35.2&plusmn;6.5 years). Tools used: Need for Closure Scale by A. Kruglanski and D. Webster adapted by M.I. Yasin; Cognitive Emotional Regulation Questionnaire by N. Garnefski et al., adapted by E.I. Rasskazova et al.; Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale in the adaptation of I.V. Grigorieva and S.N. Enikolopov. It has been established that the clinical manifestations of social phobia are characterized by a high need for cognitive closure and the used dysfunctional cognitive strategies for regulating the emotional sphere are reflected in the inability to achieve cognitive closure, the impossibility of reducing the level of social anxiety, which increases the motivation for social avoidance.</p>

Abstract:

Three experiments investigated the consequences of the epistemic motivation toward closure on the emergence of creative interactions in small groups. In the first study, need for closure was manipulated via time pressure. Results showed that in groups under high need for closure (i.e. under time pressure) the percentage of creative acts during group discussion was reduced. The second study replicated this result using an individual differences operationalization of the need for closure. In the third study, groups composed of individuals high (versus low) in need for closure performed less creatively, and exhibited less ideational fluidity during group interaction. Moreover, it was demonstrated that conformity pressure mediates the negative relationship between dispositional need for closure and group creativity. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Abstract:

“Quem teve a sorte de nascer personagem pode rir até da morte. As personagens não morrem”, escreveu Luigi Pirandello em Seis personagens à procura de um autor (1921). Mesmo que estas sejam executadas pelo autor podem permanecer camufladas entre as letras até serem despertadas. A sua morte é apenas ensaiada e nunca é sinónimo de despedida. Porém, não é apenas o acto de leitura que estende a mão às personagens e que as resgata do esquecimento. Muitas vezes elas são reanimadas por outros média ou por outras formas de expressão. Elas comprovam que um livro não tem um carácter ensimesmado, nem está circunscrito ao seu peso e medida. Ao extrapolarem a fronteira de papel e ao instalarem-se noutros formatos, elas permitem igualmente concluir que o livro mantém um diálogo contínuo com outras formas de representação. As personagens não temem a ambiguidade. Tanto embarcam numa sequência linear de eventos, como caminham sobre terreno irregular e enfrentam trilhos bifurcados. A noção de texto como um todo tem vindo a ser contrariada pela literatura impressa e pela literatura electrónica através das suas personagens. A construção de uma narrativa rizomática, a transgressão da barreira entre planos ficcionais, bem como a alteração do contrato entre autor e leitor antecederam a emergência do romance pós-modernista. Na literatura eletrónica é possível assistir a uma extensão desse processo com a adopção do computador como instrumento expressivo. Graças à sua capacidade de armazenamento de informação e velocidade de processamento, bem como à divisão entre interface e memória, é possível criar personagens dinâmicas que trocam autonomamente de posições ou identidade. Isto significa que o texto pode revelar um comportamento emergente e imprevisível. Este artigo pretende abordar o conceito de desfecho através da invocação de algumas personagens que embarcaram numa aventura impressa ou digital.

Full text

Abstract:

In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, sporulation occurs during starvation of a diploid cell and results in the formation of four haploid spores forming within the mother cell ascus. Meiosis divides the genetic material that is encapsulated by the prospore membrane that grows to surround the haploid nuclei; this membrane will eventually become the plasma membrane of the haploid spore. Cellularization of the spores occurs when the prospore membrane closes to capture the haploid nucleus along with some cytoplasmic material from the mother cell, and thus, closure of the prospore membrane is the meiotic cytokinetic event. This cytokinetic event involves the removal of the leading-edge protein complex, a complex of proteins that localizes to the leading edge of the growing prospore membrane. The development and closure of the prospore membrane must be coordinated with other meiotic exit events such as spindle disassembly. Timing of the closure of the prospore membrane depends on the meiotic exit pathway, which utilizes Cdc15, a Hippo-like kinase, and Sps1, an STE20 family GCKIII kinase, acting in parallel to the E3 ligase Ama1-APC/C. This review describes the sporulation process and focuses on the development of the prospore membrane and the regulation of prospore membrane closure.

Abstract:

The moderating effect of the need for closure in the relationship between job insecurity, job performance and mental health was investigated. The need for closure refers to a motivated need for certainty, intolerance of ambiguity and preference for predictability. It was argued that the need for closure may function as a psychological moderator in dealing with job insecurity. Participants comprised 287 workers, who were administered a self-reported questionnaire. Results confirmed the negative relationship between job insecurity, performance and mental health. The need for closure was positively related to job performance and unrelated to mental health. More interestingly, the need for closure exhibited multifaceted patterns of interactions with the different components of job insecurity. Higher need for closure revealed a buffering effect in conditions of higher quantitative job insecurity. In this case, individuals high (vs low) in the need for closure reported better job performance and mental health. Conversely, when qualitative job insecurity was higher, individuals high (vs low) in the need for closure reported an impaired job performance and mental health.

Abstract:

Replay of interactive stories is an essential characteristic of the medium, enabling players to both see whether their choices impact the narrative, and work towards an understanding of the story and underlying system. Despite the centrality of replay to the form, little work has been done to investigate what motivates people to replay interactive stories, or when and why they stop replaying. In this paper, we report on the results of an exploratory qualitative observational study of 12 participants (aged 22 to 28) replaying the visual novel The Shadows that Run Alongside Our Car, a short work that presents a post-apocalyptic survival story from the perspective of two different playable characters and involves four dialogue choices leading to one of three possible endings. Unlike previous models of rereading, our observations suggest that players' reasons for deciding whether or not to replay change fluidly as their sense of closure changes, and players are deciding based not just on whether they have reached closure, but also on their estimate of the likelihood of seeing something new or moving closer to closure versus the effort required to replay. This suggests a need to rethink earlier, more simplistic models of rereading in interactive stories.

Abstract:

SummaryAim – The aim of the study was to determine how carer need for closure relates to expressed emotion. It also examined the links between carer need for closure and patient functioning including patient need for closure. Methods – In a cross-sectional study, 70 caregivers of patients with psychosis completed the Need for Closure Scale (NFCS), the Camberwell Family Interview (CFI) and measures of distress, burden, coping and social network. The NFCS was assessed in terms of its two primary dimensions: a need for simple structure (NFSS) and Decisiveness. Patients also completed measures of psychotic symptoms and affect, and in 50 matched caregiver patient dyads, direct comparisons were undertaken between caregiver and patient NFCS scores. Results – No links were found between caregiver NFC and EE in this predominately low EE sample. More decisive carers had higher levels of self esteem, were less distressed, and resorted less to avoidant coping. The need for simple structure was greater in carers who lacked a confidante. As predicted, patients reported significantly higher NFSS and lower Decisiveness scores than carers, but no relationship was observed between caregiver NFC and patient symptoms of psychosis. Conclusions – Carers reporting confident decision making were also more likely to report adaptive functioning in terms of having lower levels of avoidant coping and distress, and higher levels of self esteem. The results suggest that this style of thinking might be a helpful way of coping with some of the difficulties involved in caring for someone with psychosis.

Abstract:

Need for closure and cognitive structuring among younger and older adults The paper reported two correlational studies. The aim of the Study 1 was to examine the hypothesis that age moderates the relationship between need for closure (NFC) and cognitive structuring. Results of the study revealed that aging with increased need for closure was associated with better recognition of irrelevant information than schema-relevant items, in testing hypotheses about the target person. These findings are interpreted as demonstrating the age-associated failure of cognitive abilities (i.e., low efficacy at fulfilling the need for closure), reducing tendency to behave according to the level of epistemic motivation. The results of Study 2 demonstrated that older participants are characterized by higher NFC but by lower EFNC than young participants. These results are consistent with the conclusion that the negative relationships between NFC and cognitive structuring demonstrated by the older participants in Study 1 can be attributed to their lower level of EFNC.

Abstract:

The need for cognitive closure describes the extent to which a person, faced with a decision, prefers any answer in lieu of continued uncertainty. This construct may be relevant in lung cancer screening, which can both reduce and increase uncertainty. We examined whether individual differences in need for cognitive closure are associated with Veterans’ completion of lung cancer screening using a self-administered survey ( N = 361). We also assessed whether need for cognitive closure moderates an association between screening completion and lung cancer risk perception. Contrary to our main hypothesis, high need for cognitive closure Veterans were not more likely to complete lung cancer screening and need for cognitive closure did not have a moderating role.

Abstract:

Close to 200 countries have implemented school closures to decrease the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus. Though the closures have seemed necessary, their effects on the wellbeing of children and adolescents have raised serious concerns. To truly understand the impact of such disruption on young people’s wellbeing, and their views on how to move towards a new normal, we must adopt different approaches to gather the data to secure children’s and adolescents’ rights to be heard in the issues that concern their lives. Current ways to examine the impacts of school closure have been dominated by gathering information concerning the children and adolescents, using mainly existing wellbeing indicators and related questionnaire surveys. Although such sources of information are important, they provide limited understanding of how children and adolescents have experienced school closures, especially if they have been produced using measures developed purely by adults. There is a need for information produced by children and adolescents themselves, which may require going beyond existing and pre-COVID theoretical wellbeing frameworks. By capturing information produced by children and adolescents, we can more effectively guide the development and evaluation of public health policies and identify solutions to mitigate the negative impacts of school closure, or to acknowledge the possible positive effects, and respond accordingly.

Abstract:

Abstract Need for closure is a construct that describes a motivational tendency to quickly select and prioritize information in the environment. Such tendencies can affect the process of negotiations, and so the quality of their outcome. The rigidity that accompanies high need for closure can lead to less openness to proposals that benefit one’s partner, and to solutions that are less optimal. We conducted a study in which 34 pairs of individuals negotiated. Pairs were matched in terms of need for closure (high vs. low) and gender. We found that need for closure affected subjective evaluations of certain aspects of the negotiation process. Participants with low need for closure were more likely to indicate that they and their partners sought win-win solutions during the negotiation. This led to a greater sense of process fairness for the negotiation. These results can be taken into consideration when teaching negotiations, and when planning real-life negotiations.
