In some cases, it is not only the instructor-trainee relationship that one is dealing with. In some areas of the world, respect and deference for authority and a "face-saving" nature to personal interactions are simply part of the underlying culture. While I hold no strong opinion as to whether these cultural tendencies are good or bad in and of themselves, they can be significant obstacles to effective training and crew resource management.
