How to use "Un-willingness" in context?
Most people would agree that it is preferable to be unwilling than to be unwilling to do something. And yet, this is often not the case. Behavioral science exists to answer why unwillingness often does not coincide with the ideal state of affairs. A new study, entitled "The paradox of unwillingness" by researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and the University of Zurich, offers a compelling answer to this question.
The study found that unwillingness can often result from social norms and constraints. The researchers hypothesized that individuals with more power and influence would be less likely to be unwilling, as they would be able to resist social pressure.
