What motivates research fraud?

"There is pressure to publish as scientists [...] There are labs that are run by big egos who might say to a young researcher, “Why did your experiment fail? I will hire someone else who will make it work [...] The graduate students and the postdocs might be the ones photoshopping, but who is responsible for the atmosphere and the integrity of the lab? That’s the professor" - @ElisabethBik

@erinnacland @ElisabethBik @academicchatter I really appreciate that quote: have witnessed 3 cases of scientific fraud being discovered (1 after publication, 2 caught before), and in all cases PhD/postdocs came from labs where PI did not take kindly to data that opposed their pet theory. It doesn't make the data fabrication right, but I wish there was more research done into the environment that creates it, not letting the PIs get away scot-free in these situations.
