Hiding personal information reveals the worst

Leslie K. Johna,1, Kate Barasza, and Michael I. Nortona

aHarvard Business School, Harvard University, Boston, MA 02163

Edited by Susan T. Fiske, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ, and approved December 7, 2015 (received for review August 24, 2015)

Seven experiments explore people’s decisions to share or withhold

personal information, and the wisdom of such decisions. When

people choose not to reveal information—to be “hiders”—they

are judged negatively by others (experiment 1). These negative

judgments emerge when hiding is volitional (experiments 2A

and 2B) and are driven by decreases in trustworthiness engen-

dered by decisions to hide (experiments 3A and 3B). Moreover,

hiders do not intuit these negative consequences: given the choice

to withhold or reveal unsavory information, people often choose

to withhold, but observers rate those who reveal even question-

able behavior more positively (experiments 4A and 4B). The neg-

ative impact of hiding holds whether opting not to disclose

unflattering (drug use, poor grades, and sexually transmitted dis-

eases) or flattering (blood donations) information, and across de-

cisions ranging from whom to date to whom to hire. When faced

with decisions about disclosure, decision-makers should be aware

not just of the risk of revealing, but of what hiding reveals.

disclosure | transparency | trust | policy making | privacy

Imagine being asked about your recreational drug habits on a

job application and realizing that to be truthful you must admit

to the occasional indulgence. Would you lie, come clean, or avoid

answering the question all together? When faced with the choice

between revealing (“I smoked marijuana once”) and withholding

(“I choose not to answer”), we suggest that people often choose

the latter, a strategy that can lead observers to make unsavory

character judgments. Indeed, hiding is viewed as so untrustworthy

that it produces character judgments even more negative than

those arising from divulgence of extremely unsavory information.

Examples abound of situations in everyday life in which peo-

ple’s unwillingness to divulge personal information is conspicuous.

Recent newspaper headlines have highlighted the unwillingness of

public figures to reveal personal communications to authorities.

Some dating websites explicitly indicate whetherlove-seekers have

chosen not to answer personal questions (for example about their

smoking or drinking habits). In addition, on countless forms and

applications, people are asked to provide information about at-

tributes like gender, race, ethnicity, and household income level—

and are given the option to “choose not to answer.”

Anecdotal evidence suggests that these “hiders” are judged

negatively: observers seem to react as if withholding information

is indicative of underlying character flaws. As one columnist

noted, “both job seekers and employers wonder aloud about

what it means if a job candidate doesn’t have a Facebook ac-

count. Does it mean they deactivated it because it was full of red

flags? Are they hiding something?” (1). In the wake of the Sandy

Hook Elementary School shootings, one news outlet claimed

that, before college, perpetrator Adam Lanza “was already

appearing odd and at odds with society” (2). Evidence? He had

selected “Choose not to answer” in response to two questions on

a college application: “Gender?” and “How do you describe

yourself?” In the political realm, despite Hillary Clinton’s sur-

render of over 55,000 pages of email correspondence to the State

Department, commentators characterized her insistence on

keeping some communications private as the work of a “brazenly

dishonest cover-up specialist” (3). Similar insinuations arose

following football superstar (and heartthrob) Tom Brady’s

refusal to provide authorities with access to his email and

phone records in the wake of the “deflategate” scandal (4).

Although it is possible that these cases represent actual con-

cealment of illicit activities and objectionable attitudes, it is also

reasonable that decisions to withhold simply reflect desires for

privacy and control over one’s public portrayal. Nonetheless,

contempt appears to be the common reaction toward individuals

who choose not to reveal. We examine two central aspects of the

psychology of hiding, isolating two related phenomena by using

controlled laboratory experiments. First, we examine how peo-

ple’s unwillingness to divulge affects others’ views of them.

Second, we explore whether actors anticipate how choosing not

to disclose impacts the impression they make on others. In short,

we ask and answer the question: when faced with the decision of

whether to reveal or withhold, do people make decisions that

enhance or detract from others’ impressions of them?

Previous research has examined how firms’ decisions to omit

information from product descriptions affects—or does not affect—

consumers’ evaluations of the product. Although it may be rea-

sonable to think incomplete descriptions would arouse suspicion

or pique curiosity, people are often insensitive to missing or un-

known product attributes (5). Consistent with seminal research on

basic human judgment, this insensitivity arises out of a failure to

notice that information is missing in the first place (6, 7).

However, what happens when people are made aware of the

incompleteness of the available information? Research in applied

psychology and allied fields has found that in such cases, people

tend to be appropriately skeptical of incompletely described

products (8). However, in contrast to the research on products, we

suggest a richer psychology underlying withholding ofinformation

by humans: when observers are made to realize that a person has

failed to reveal information, they will be quick to make disposi-

tional inferences about that person’s character. Indeed, previous

research has documented that people readily draw personality

Significance

Disclosure is a critical element of social life, especially given

Internet media that afford many opportunities (and demands

from friends, partners, and even employers) to share personal

information—making withholding anomalous, conspicuous,

and therefore suspect. Seven experiments explore people’s

decisions to withhold or disclose personal information—and

the wisdom of such decisions. Declining a request to disclose

often makes a worse impression even than divulging unsavory

personal information. Moreover, those who withhold fail to

intuit this negative consequence: people withhold even when

they would make a better impression by “coming clean.” In

short, people should be aware not just of the risk of revealing,

but the risk of hiding.

"... some have spoken eloquently, some have spoken inarticulately, some haltingly, some have been almost mute.

Yet among all the variety of human expression a thread of connection, a common mark, can be seen: that urge to look into oneself and out at the world and say, 'this is what I am, I am unique, I am here. I am.' "

- Saul Bass short film"Why Man Creates" (1968)
