Let’s assume that your cognitive framework operating is this: “All bosses don’t listen anyway,” bosses do not care about my opinion,” “participating is just a waste of time.” You will then use this cognitive framework to interpret the boss’s words and might interpret your boss’s words to mean:

“Sure, the boss is saying that she wants me to be open and to hear my opinion, but I know she won’t really listen or doesn’t care about my opinion anyways, so why should I waste my time by being open.”
