Yeni Bir Nöropsikolojik Kavram Olarak Tamamlanma İhtiyacı

Öz

Bilişsel tamamlanma ihtiyacı, son zamanlarda davranışsal nörobilimin önem kazanmaya başlayan konularından biridir ve bireyin belirli bir konuda karmaşa ve belirsizlik yerine kesin bir bilgiye ulaşma ihtiyacı, karar verme arzusu olarak tanımlanabilir. Bu çalışmada tamamlanma ihtiyacı kavramı, kısa bir gözden geçirme ile kuramsal ve görgül çalışmalar bağlamında detaylı olarak ele alınmıştır. Ayrıca, bu yazıda tamamlanma ihtiyacı ile ruh sağlığı ilişkisi de ele alınmıştır. Literatürde, tamamlanma ihtiyacı konusunda birkaç temel kuramsal açıklamanın yanında çok az görgül çalışmanın olduğu da dikkati çekmektedir. Bu yazıda ağırlıklı olarak tamamlanma ihtiyacıyla ilgili temel açıklamaları yapan Kruglanski’nin kuramına yer verilmiştir.

Need for Closure as a New Neuropsychological Concept

Abstract

Need for cognitive closure, is one of the basic topics of behavioral neuroscience which has recently gained greater attention, and can be defined as the desire for an answer on a given topic, any answer, compared to confusion and ambiguity. This study addresses need for closure concept, in detail, both in terms of the foundational theoretical work and past empirical studies. In this study, the concept of need for closure is discussed with a brief review in the context of the theoretical and empirical studies. In addition, in this review, the relationship between need for closure and mental health is discussed. In addition to the basic theoretical issues, in this review we cover the major empirical studies about need for closure. In particular, we review Kruglanski’s theory about need for closure, which have been highly influential.
