Factors influencing patient perceptions of nutritionists’ epistemic authority and tendency to comply with treatment recommendations
Mood, cognitive structuring and medication adherence
A study with a placebo was conducted. Healthy university students were given a placebo and were told to make one pill every day for a week. Participants were informed that the medicine improved mood. The extent to which they conformed to this instruction was treated as an index of compliance. Our results show that for women, but not for men, positive mood and cognitive structuring or negative mood and lack of cognitive structuring significantly p…
Need for closure and heuristic information processing: The moderating role of the ability to achieve the need for closure
In contrast to the ample research that shows a positive relationship between the need for closure (NFC) and heuristic information processing, this research examines the hypothesis that this relationship is moderated by the ability to achieve closure (AAC), that is, the ability to use information-processing strategies consistent with the level of NFC. Three different operationalizations of heuristic information processing were used: recall of info…
Need for closure and cognitive structuring among younger and older adults
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 hypoth…
The Influence of Context and Political Identification on Israeli Jews' Views of Palestinians
This study followed changes among Israeli Jews in stereotypic perceptions, attitudes, and feelings toward Palestinians, as a function of political identification on the dove-hawk dimension. The study used the research paradigm of Gilbert (1951) and Karlins, Coffman, and Walters (1969), by administering the same questionnaire to compatible groups of students at 4 points in time between 1990 and 2000, a period in which critical events concerning Pa…

Whose informational needs are considered? A comparison between cancer patients and their spouses' perceptions of their own and their partners' knowledge and informational needs
Self-Anchoring in the Minimal Group Paradigm: The Impact of Need and Ability to Achieve Cognitive Structure
A study is reported that focused on the role of self-anchoring in the definition of social groups. We assumed that group members give meaning to a novel ingroup by defining it as similar to the self. Moreover, the need and ability to engage in cognitive structuring should affect this process. A minimal group study in which self, ingroup and outgroup evaluations were obtained supported these hypotheses. Regression analysis revealed that self-evalu…
A Test of the Overconfidence Phenomenon Using Audio Signals
The existence of the overconfidence phenomenon was examined using a signal detection paradigm. Fifty-five participants were asked to decide whether they heard a signal or noise only, and to rate how certain they were of their decisions. The results confirmed the existence of overconfidence as well as the "hard-easy" effect

The need and ability to achieve cognitive structuring: Individual differences that moderate the effect of stress on information processing
The authors examined the hypothesis that the interaction between the need for cognitive structure (NCS) and the ability to achieve cognitive structure (AACS) moderates the effect of stress on information processing. NCS is the preference for using cognitive structuring, as opposed to piecemeal processes, as a means to achieve certainty. AACS is the extent to which individuals are able to apply information processes that are consistent with their …
The effect of need and ability to achieve cognitive structuring on cognitive structuring
Tel Aviv UniversityThe authors explored the hypothesis that the relationship between need for structure and cognitivestructuring behavior is moderated by the ability to achieve cognitive structure (AACS). Need forstructure is defined as the preference to use cognitive structuring as a means to achieve certainty.AACS refers to the extent to which individuals are able to use information-processing processes(cognitive structuring or piecemeal) consi…
Coping use versus effectiveness as moderating the stress—strain relationship
This paper takes another look at coping as a moderator of the stress—strain relationship by assessing the extent of correspondence between subjects' use of various coping behaviours and their perception of their helpfulness (coping effectiveness). The use of four coping strategies and the perception of their helpfulness, as well as the stress and psychological distress of 79 subjects whose spouses were hospitalized, were assessed by questionnaire…
Followers' Phenomenological Field as an Explanatory Framework to Fiedler's Situational Favorability Dimension
Fiedler's contingency model (FCM) is based on the assumption that the interaction between leader's characteristics (leader's LPC) and the controllability of the situation determines followers’ productivity. The present paper, based on Lewinian analysis, suggests that followers' productivity is determined by followers' goals and motivations. These goals and motivation are partially determined by the situation and partially by the followers' percep…

Causal Perceptions of Success and Failure by Advantaged, Integrated and Disadvantaged Pupils
S ummary . One hundred and thirty‐four sixth‐grade pupils belonging to different social groups, upper middle class of European‐American and Israeli origin (advantaged pupils), lower middle class of European‐American, Asian‐African and Israeli origin (integrated pupils), and lower class of Asian‐African origin only (disadvantaged pupils) were asked to attribute causality for their success or failure, following a real test in mathematics. The resul…
