@phryk No, not titles of papers, but psychometric scales. https://lexikon.stangl.eu/21727/need-for-closure offers a brief description of the Need for Closure and a couple of citations. It can also be discussed as just 'Closure' (which is, alas, harder to google for, but adding in 'psychology' or 'psychometry' should help), or the 'NFC scale'.Professor Bob Altemeyer's book The Authoritarians is a great entry-level introduction to the RWA and SDO scales and how they interact. It's available on his website, https://theauthoritarians.org/, together with commentaries of some changes in the American politics since. (The book is so old that he had to write a special annex on the Tea Party after the original book was nominally ready. And then, as the Russians say, things got worse.) Alas, Altemeyer died of old age a couple of months ago. IIRC, the question of how NFC relates to the other two was still a hot research topic in 2006, so he doesn't talk about it very much, but there's a number of papers from the 2010s discussing it and its interactions with political outlooks.@rickf
