Truthful Communication Scale (TCS): Conceptual basis & psychometric properties

The purpose of this document is to present the Trait Truthful Communication (T-TCS) scale, to describe its conceptual foundation, and to provide initial evidence of its psychometric quality. This document is brief and is intended for researchers who are considering using the T-TCS scale in their own work. At some point, the material summarized briefly in this document will (hopefully) be presented in detail in a full article.
