difficult psychological experience for that person and what I usually tell people is that's the job of the manager to think about maybe how to create an environment that's more welcoming or open or accepting of different identities different individuals who are coming into a space where they might look the same as everyone else but they're carrying something internal that that we can't all see.

This research followed what I think is a real intuitive idea, which is we all have a personal and professional self. Most of us don't behave in the workplace identically to the way we behave at home. So you can think about these two circles of two selves. And the researchers thought about the way that we think of those disparate circles as integrated or segmented.

So they're either overlapping, they're coherent, they make sense together, or they're really far apart.

And what happens when those two identities are really far apart, when your work self is very different and segmented from your home self, is that you can pick and choose that, you know, at work I can be unethical, immoral, I can lie, which is what the experimenters looked at, because it's not diagnostic of my real self, my core self, the person I am at home.

And that separation allows people who see themselves as otherwise moral to engage in immoral behavior.

Or on the other hand, some people become so invested and so their identity becomes such a part of their work identity that the only thing that matters to them are these work successes or achieving something at work or climbing the corporate ladder and sort of what happens, how they treat their friends, their family members, people outside of the workplace are irrelevant to sort of where that source of self-esteem comes from.
