Qualitative analysis of 40 critical incidents collected through semi-structured interviews with undergraduate students demonstrates four distinct profiles: inquisitive enthusiasts, pragmatic enthusiasts, indifferent minimalists and concerned minimalists.Ce projet étudie l'influence de deux traits, le besoin de cognition et le besoin de clôture cognitive, sur le comportement informationnel.
