Resistance among researchers can arise from multiple sources:
Conflicting interests: Researchers may have financial, academic, or personal interests that conflict with certain research outcomes. Methodological disagreements: Differences in opinions regarding study design, data collection methods, and statistical analyses can lead to resistance. Resource limitations: Limited access to funding, data, or other necessary resources can cause researchers to resist certain projects or collaborations. Fear of change: Established researchers might resist new theories or methodologies that challenge traditional paradigms. Ethical concerns: Questions around the ethical implications of research, especially in vulnerable populations, can lead to opposition.
