AB  - People differ in the extent to which they express a need for sense-making (NSM), 
      and these individual differences are important to understand in light of 
      meaning-making processes. To quantify this important variable, we originally 
      proposed a need for sense-making scale. We now propose a refined, similarly 
      reliable short version of the scale (NSM-SF). The 7-item NSM-SF was validated 
      across a series of four studies (combined N = 1,243). NSM-SF showed psychometric 
      properties and correlations consistent with its longer forerunner. Additionally, 
      results indicated that the need for sense-making was moderately positively 
      related to the satisfaction of basic psychological needs (autonomy, relatedness 
      and competence), and it related negatively to the frustration of these needs. The 
      research offers a useful, brief tool for assessing the NSM construct and broadens 
      our understanding of basic psychological motivations.
