Abstract: We developed the Face-Saving Lies Scale, a univariate 15-item scale designed to assess one’s tendency to tell face-saving lies. We found that individuals with low self-esteem, high levels of shame proneness, high social anxiety, and high anxious and avoidant attachment styles had a greater tendency toward face-saving lies.
