Individuals should be honest with themselves. It is simpler to characterize the traits of dishonesty in order to define honesty, because dishonesty is to engage in behavior that the individual recognizes and defines as morally wrong (Mayhew, Hubbard, Finelli, Harding, Trevor, Carpenter, Donald, 2009, page 441) An example of dishonesty is cheating on an exam, and justifying the action either because others are doing it, out of fear of failing, or by blaming others (Rogers, 2010, page 243) In this same example an honest individual would be not cheat on the exam even if everyone else is and accept the score as a result of his or her own actions.

Socially competent individuals can develop intimate friendships. A friendship is a relationship between two people that does not demand or pretend perfection, recognizes individual thoughts and feelings, and exemplifies honesty and unity. (Hanks, 1984) One example of friendship is marriage. It is not simply the legal union to two individuals that creates a friendship in a marriage but the relationship that is defined above (Gutierrez, 2007).

An important communication cerateristic is turn-about. This is the socially comfortable sequence of the altering talk and silences among the parties in a converstation, and the way such transfers are coordinated (Sacks, Schegoloff, & Jefferson, 1974, page 696). An example of turn-about is when at a ward opening social the bishop asks a new ward member where they are from and the person responds does not only by answering the question but includes a follow up question of the same nature, such as if the bishop has lived here their whole life (Schegoloff & Jefferson, 1974, page 696).
