People are generally motivated to reduce uncertainty about the identities of others, especially when these identities are related to meaningful values, like politics. However, in the context of interdependent work, people may prefer uncertainty over learning about a coworker's political identity if they suspect the coworker is a political outgroup member. Across a series of high-powered experiments, we examine how liberal and conservative participants respond to cues that suggest, with some uncertainty, that their coworker is a part of their political ingroup or outgroup. We find that when participants respond to cues that suggest their coworker is an outgroup member (vs. an ingroup member) they report lower desire to learn more about the political identity of their coworker, higher information avoidance behavioral intentions, and higher regret about being exposed to their coworker's political identity. Effects are stronger for liberals than conservatives with unique mechanisms driving the responses of people on either side of the political spectrum. Consequences for organizations are discussed.
