The susceptibility to whims and its relationship to cognitive closure among university staff. The current research objective is to identify both the level of susceptibility and cognitive closure of university employees, as well as to know the correlation between them, as well as to know the differences between the two variables in light of the variables of the social situation and the educational level To verify this, the researcher built two instruments, one to measure susceptibility, consisting of 28 paragraphs and the second to measure cognitive closure, consisting of 42 paragraphs. They were applied to a sample of 150 female employees.
The results showed an average level of both ateability and cognitive closure. There are also statistically significant differences in the susceptibility attributable to the variable social situation and to the benefit of the unmarried group, while there are no differences in cognitive closeness depending on the variable of the social situation. In each of the two countries, there are statistically significant differences depending on the variable level of education and in favor of the preparatory group. There was a statistically significant relationship between the two variables and the researcher made a number of
recommendations and proposals.
