Abstract
Introduction: The need for cognitive closure (NFC), defined as the desire for "an answer on a given topic, any answer. compared to confusion and ambiguity," is a topic that has become increasingly important in behavioral neuroscience. The present study aimed to assess the applicability of a measure of need for cognitive closure, the " Need for Closure Scale-Short Form" (NFC-SF), for Turkish college students.
