Abstract
We demonstrate how individuals' need for cognitive closure (NFC) moderates the effects of major events on affective well-being. We found that those with higher NFC predict (Study 1), recall (Study 2), and experience intensified affective well-being following major events (Study 3; longitudinal data of the 2022 presidential election in Korea).
