Title: NEED FOR CLOSURE, ABILITY TO ACHIEVE CLOSURE AND MONITORING-BLUNTING COGNITIVE COPING STYLE
Author: Tomáš SOLLÁR, Jana VANEČKOVÁ

Abstract: The authors examined the assumption that individual differences in Need For (cognitive) Closure (NFC) and the Ability to Achieve (cognitive) Closure (AAC) are related to information-processing style in threatening situations. Analysis showed that NFC was related to monitoring style and high level in NFCS subscale Discomfort with ambiguity was associated with information-seeking behavior. AAC was associated neither with informational behavior nor with cognitive coping style. The monitoring/blunting concept seems to be promising especially in the context of research of real-life threatening situations.

Keywords: need for closure, ability to achieve closure, monitoring, blunting
