Is the conversion of implicit attitude influenced by the level of need for cognitive closure (NFCC)? In Experiment 1, a questionnaire was used to measure the NFCC, aiming to investigate the effect of the NFCC on implicit evaluation conversion. In Experiment 2, we manipulated the NFCC through environmental noise to further investigate the NFCC on implicit evaluation conversion. The results showed that the higher the individuals’ NFCC, the more difficult it was to shift their implicit intergroup attitudes. The low NFCC group formed implicit out-group bias before and after social identity shifts while the high NFCC group formed implicit in-group preference before social identity shifts. These results suggest that the high NFCC individuals hinder the conversion of implicit evaluation.
