This article focuses on the limitation of automatic stereotype activation under high versus low need for closure. We hypothesized that high levels of need for closure contrary to low need for closure increase the accessibility of stereotype content. The results of the study have revealed that stereotype activation is independent on the level of need for closure. Therefore we conclude that well known differences between high and low need for closure participants in using stereotypes in judgments or impression formation are related not to the phase of stereotype activation but possibly to the phase of its application
