The Institute’s worker research stalled partly out of reaction to troubling early results

Evidence

A total of 1100 questionnaires had been sent out, and the last were returned at the end of 1931. But the analysis of them was not carried out very intensively, not only because of the long illnesses Horkheimer and Fromm suffered, and because of a lack of experience in empirical social research, but probably also in reaction to the earliest signs of the inquiry’s results. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 474
