Closure theory

Closure theory refers to the idea that people tend to seek completion or resolution in their thoughts and experiences. In general knowledge, it means that when we encounter incomplete information or uncertainty, we often feel uncomfortable and strive to fill in the gaps to achieve a sense of understanding. This can lead us to make assumptions or draw conclusions prematurely. Closure helps us make sense of the world, but it can also result in oversimplification or overlooking important details. Overall, it reflects our psychological need for coherence in our knowledge and experiences.
