Psychology has a very hard-science core, whose reputation is so tarnished by its "social" counterpart that no self-respecting researcher wants to be called a psychologist anymore. Replace your searches for psychology with cognitive science and you'll find a lot of good, reproducible, research such as this: http://cavlab.net/?lang=en http://cavlab.net/?lang=en
