Figure 4.
The diagram is organised from left to right into four labelled columns. The columns are illustrative data, first order codes, second order themes, and aggregate dimensions. The illustrative data column contains short participant statements describing observations and interpretations of others’ behaviour when knowledge is hidden. These statements connect to first order codes. The first order codes include perception of intentional withholding, physical withdrawal and body tension, recognition of evasive behaviour, observation of conflicting body language, observation of physical discomfort, recognising facial expressions of hiding, noticing vague or evasive responses, noticing inconsistencies in verbal information, interpreting silence as a lack of interest, equating a lack of participation with a lack of knowledge, recognising context level as a factor in participation, and acknowledging situational factors in participation. The first order codes connect to second order themes. The second order themes are recognising non-verbal cues, recognising verbal cues, negative interpretations of silence and disengagement, and empathetic interpretation of silence and disengagement. These second order themes are grouped into two aggregate dimensions shown on the right. The aggregate dimensions are perception of K H behaviours and alternative perceptions.Thematic insights into participant perceptions of KH
