Recalcitrancy refers to a stubborn defiance or resistance to authority or control. It often denotes a rebellious attitude, where an individual or group refuses to comply with rules, regulations, or commands. This behavior can be seen in various contexts, including personal relationships, workplace environments, and larger societal structures. Recalcitrant individuals are often characterized by their persistent unwillingness to adhere to established norms or expectations, frequently leading to conflicts or disciplinary actions. Understanding the root causes of recalcitrancy is crucial in addressing and potentially mitigating its impacts.
