Our chapter introduces theory-based measures for the assessment of trust in specific politicians and politicians in general. In Study 1 (N = 317), the dimensionality, reliability, and relatedness to other concepts of trustworthiness of specific German politicians and politicians in general are investigated. In Study 2 (N = 248), the prediction of our scales for voting behavior in the 2013 German national election is examined. The empirical results provide evidence that trustworthiness of a sp...Our chapter introduces theory-based measures for the assessment of trust in specific politicians and politicians in general.
