一个理论框架概述，其中的关键结构是需要（非特异性）认知关闭。结束的需要是对某个问题的明确知识的渴望。它代表了一个稳定的个体差异的维度，以及一个情境唤起的状态。封闭的需要对社会认知现象在自我、人际和群体分析层面产生了广泛的影响。这些结果来自两个一般趋势，即紧迫性和持久性。紧迫性倾向代表一个人想要尽快结束的倾向，而持久性倾向代表一个人想要尽可能长时间地保持这种倾向。本理论的实证证据证明，不同的需要关闭的基本社会心理现象的影响，包括印象形成，刻板印象，归因，说服，群体决策，和语言使用在组间环境。
A theoretical framework is outlined in which the key construct is the need for(nonspecific) cognitive closure. The need for closure is a desire for definite knowledge on some issue. It represents a dimension of stable individual differences as well as a situationally evocable state. The need for closure has widely ramifying consequences for social-cognitive phenomena at the intrapersonal, interpersonal, and group levels of analysis. Those consequences derive from 2 general tendencies, those of urgency and permanence. The urgency tendency represents an individual's inclination to attain closure as soon as possible, and the permanence tendency represents an individual's inclination to maintain it for as long as possible. Empirical evidence for present theory attests to diverse need for closure effects on fundamental social psychological phenomena, including impression formation, stereotyping, attribution, persuasion, group decision making, and language use in intergroup contexts.
