Self-epistemic authority (SEA) refers to the subjective judgement of the level of expertise and knowledge a person has in a given domain. While it is reasonable to assume that people's perception of SEA reflects their level of objective knowledge in the given domain, there is evidence to show that people are not optimal judges of their own knowledge. Thus, the present study examined the interaction between the participants' trait-like characteristics of need for cognitive closure (NFC) and efficacy to fulfill the need for cognitive closure (EFNC), which affects the use of cognitive structuring, as a source of SEA. Results of the study confirm that objective knowledge as well as a cognitive-motivational epistemic process (interaction between NFC and EFNC) affect SEA. For high EFNC individuals, the effect of NFC on SEA was positive. However, for low EFNC individuals, the relationship was negative.
自我认知权威(SEA)指的是一个人在特定领域所具有的专业知识和技能水平的主观判断。虽然有理由认为人们对自我认知权威的认知反映了他们在特定领域的客观知识水平,但有证据表明人们并非自身知识的最佳判断者。因此,本研究考察了参与者的特质性认知闭合需求(NFC)和满足认知闭合需求的效能(EFNC)之间的相互作用,这一相互作用会影响作为自我认知权威来源的认知结构的运用。研究结果证实,客观知识以及一个认知动机性的认知过程(NFC和EFNC之间的相互作用)会影响自我认知权威。对于高EFNC个体,NFC对自我认知权威的影响是积极的。然而,对于低EFNC个体,这种关系是消极的。
