Abstract
We introduce Need for Closure (NFCL) as a potential individual characteristic that can help explain and predict individual differences in engagement in leisure activities. Results show that high (versus low) NFCL youngsters engage more in leisure activities like fun shopping, while low (versus high) youngsters go more to pubs and parties, visit or host more friends and tend to practice more sports. Results are explained based on NFCL theory. Limitations and directions for future research are suggested.
