Need for Closure Urgency & Permanence Q. How do individuals consider information? A. In the Casino World (inmost Cases) - Surveillance Imagery
• Need for closure (NFC) refers to the desire or motivation to have a definite answer or knowledge instead of uncertainty or doubt. The NFC is resolved by any answer, and the answer is accepted simply because it is available. Thus, NFC does not refer to knowledge or decisions regarding a specific question, nor does it refer to the need for accuracy. • The NFC can arise from within the person, as a personality trait—or from the situation, such as when it is urgent to make a decision quickly.
