While quantitative methodologists advance statistical theory and refine statistical methods, substantive researchers resist adopting many of these statistical innovations. Traditional explanations for this resistance are reviewed, specifically a lack of awareness of statistical developments, the failure of journal editors to mandate change, publish or perish pressures, the unavailability of user friendly software, inadequate education in statistics, and psychological factors. Resistance is reconsidered in light of the complexity of modern statistical methods and a communication gap between substantive researchers and quantitative methodologists. The concept of a Maven is introduced as a means to bridge the communication gap. On the basis of this review and reconsideration, recommendations are made to improve communication of statistical innovations.
虽然定量方法学家推进了统计理论并改进了统计方法，但实质性研究人员抵制采用许多这些统计创新。本文回顾了抵制这些创新的传统解释，具体包括对统计发展缺乏认识、期刊编辑未能强制要求改变、出版或灭亡的压力、缺乏用户友好型软件、统计学教育不足以及心理因素。鉴于现代统计方法的复杂性以及实质性研究人员和定量方法学家之间的沟通差距，重新考虑了这种抵制。引入了 Maven 这个概念作为弥合沟通差距的一种手段。基于这种回顾和重新考虑，提出了改进统计创新沟通的建议。
