Career

Arie Kruglanski received his Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of California, Los Angeles in 1968. He has contributed extensively to the theory of Cognitive Closure,[2] and co-developed the Need for Closure Scale.[3] Theories of closure have found application in numerous fields such as consumer behavior,[4] business hiring[5] and political research.[6] Kruglanski frequently collaborated with E. Tory Higgins, particularly on regulatory mode theory.

Kruglanski serves as a co-principal investigator at the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism at the University of Maryland, and has conducted extensive research on the psychology and motivations of terrorists.[7] He and his students studied captive Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam after the defeat of that south Asian terror group, finding that de-radicalization is possible with a systematic process involving , which he calls the three N's, "The Need, the Narrative and the Network."[8]

He sits on the editorial board of Psychological Review.[9]

gollark: Pings exist but I don't think they happen automatically and CC can't trigger them.
gollark: I'd probably also add pings for autoreconnect, UUIDs for messages, maaaaybe a paired fallback server, and set_channels instead of open and close.
gollark: (skynetv2 is the current one, v3 is hypothetical future skynet)
gollark: SPUDNET, which has more active evolution and also possibly asynchronous commands, does have a command ID option in its v4 protocol, which could be backported to skynetv3 or something.
gollark: Fair.
