Is there someone in your life who never seems to be able to remember anything important? They might be doing it on purpose—and this could be why, writes swhitbo
relations when women, the “dumb blondes,” sought to benefit themselves by disguising their abilities?
In the model proposed by Venz and Shohan, this counterproductive relationship behavior can be similar to the way an employee would cover up knowledge in order to retain a sense of control in a situation in which they feel stressed. The idea of a transactional approach to stress is based on the premise that there’s nothing inherently stressful about a situation. It’s all in your perception of that situation, along with your perception of your ability to manage it.
Turning now to the study’s hypotheses, the authors proposed that perceived feelings of stress would predict the use of knowledge hiding as an emotional coping method that, in turn, would predict lowered levels of exhaustion and strain. The 101 employees in the study completed two surveys at the beginning and end of each workday for a total of 10 workdays.
In the words of the authors, “playing dumb is a rather quick, complete and utter way to hide knowledge that instantly unfolds its coping function, thus relating to immediate low psychological strain” . Indeed, it takes more effort to hide what you know by distorting it in some way than just to pretend you didn’t know it in the first place.
