abstract = {(1) Background: The present study analyzed the need for cognitive closure and narrative
creativity in adolescents. The aim was to demonstrate a strong relationship between narrative
creativity and the need for cognitive closure. We analyzed a group of participants by applying a lie
scale integrated with the Need for Closure Scale to detect potential relationships between students
that entered the lie scale group (discarded) and those that were not discarded by exploring the
following variables: gender, school type, group condition, and narrative creativity. (2) Methods: The
instruments used were the Need for Closure Scale and the Test of Creative Imagination for Young
People, PIC-J. Students of English as a foreign language in the 3rd year of secondary education from
two schools were selected based on their availability to participate in the project. The students were
aged 14 to 16 with a non-probabilistic sampling value of N = 117. (3) Results: Results show a negative
correlation between narrative creativity and the need for cognitive closure. The need for cognitive
closure is mainly manifested in two of its five dimensions: order and predictability. In addition,
the group analysis of the lie scale revealed a higher tendency of male students to be less likely to
respond truthfully. Meanwhile, the percentage of participants in the lie scale group was higher in
rural schools. (4) Conclusions: In conclusion, students who do not belong to the lie scale group seem
to have more creativity than students in the lie scale group, while students in the lie scale group have
a lower final course grade than students in the non lie scale group.},
