As an AI language model, I don’t have personal opinions, beliefs or biases. However, some of the commonly recognized disadvantages of using deductive research design can be:
1. Limited scope: As the research follows a pre-existing theory, it can limit the scope of study.
2. Rigidness: Deductive research follows a strict methodology which may restrict the researchers from exploring new avenues and collecting diverse data.
3. Bias: The researcher’s own biases and beliefs may influence the research design and interpretation of the results.
4. Limited generalization: The results obtained from deductive research designs may not be generalizable to other groups or situations as it is based on a narrow set of assumptions.
5. Overemphasis on theory: Deductive research may prioritize theory over empirical evidence, hence overlooking other useful information that may impact the research findings.
