Objectives. Need for cognition refers to tendency to engage in and enjoy effortful cognitive activities. As conceptualized by Cacioppo and Petty (1982) need for cognition is a cognitive disposition, relatively stable in time and only slightly related to intellectual capacity and performance in terms of IQ. Need for Cognition Scale (NFCS) by Cacioppo and Petty is considered the most prevalent self-report method for assessing need for cognition. Sample and setting. Validity study of short Czech version of the questionnaire was performed on a sample of 679 participants (62% men, age 16–43, Me=23). Results. Results show good factor validity and high internal consistency – a two-factor congeneric model (factors based on item wording) showed the best fit among all four tested models and is in accordance with recent research. Construct validity was assessed using need for cognitive closure and right-wing authoritarianism questionnaires; in accordance with theoretical assumptions, NFCS correlates negatively with both measures. Study limitations. The specificity of the sample might pose some limitations, however, the translation can be considered validated for research purposes.

Obsedantně-kompulzivní porucha je v domácí literatuře líčena jako porucha s náhledem. Je to v rozporu s četnými zahraničními poznatky o významné proporci pacientů, kteří nemají dobrý nebo žádný náhled, tj. nejenže nevyhledávají léčbu, ale zcela jim chybí pocit vlastního zdravotního problému. Interpretace vyhýbání se nebo pozdního vyhledání léčby těmito pacienty a připisování pozdní léčby výhradně obavě ze stigmatizace musí napříště s častým chybením náhledu počítat. Zhruba čtvrtina obsedantů v populaci nemá náhled. Je pravděpodobné, že představují svéráznou podskupinu heterogenní obsedantně-kompulzivní poruchy.
In the home literature the obsessive-compulsive disorder has been described as comprising full insight. This is in contrast with the numerous findings abroad concerning the substantial proportion of patients having poor or no insight, e.g. seeking no help and not feeling any health problem. In future the explaining the avoidance of the patients and their late help-seeking solely by their fear of the stigmatization must include also their frequent absence of insight. Fourth part of the people suffering from the obsessive-compulsive disorder are probably lacking insight. It seems they represent a special subgroup of the heterogenous obsessive-compulsive disorder.
