- Summary:
-
The findings from a study of 42 administrators in a large metropolitan school district supported the hypothesis that the use of privacy regulation mechanisms is deliberate and dynamic. The researchers considered the age and sex of the administrators, the length of time they'd held their current jobs, their tendencies toward Type A or Type B personalities, and the physical arrangement of their offices. The researchers also examined the degree to which the administrators were affected by four types of stressors, the extent to which they used eight different behavioral mechanisms to reduce inputs from others on typical and on busy days, and their tendency to suffer from high blood pressure. The study results indicated that behavioral and environmental mechanisms are used in combination, and their use increased with day-to-day changes in job demands. The use of these mechanisms appeared most likely among people with job tasks necessitating isolation. No evidence was found that the use of behavioral privacy mechanisms relieved stress as indicated by blood pressure problems; in fact, use of some mechanisms was associated with increased likelihood of such problems. The researchers assert that further study is needed. (PGD)
