And the Replication crisis continues... [1]
Seems like the big secret is small initial sample sizes. For example, the original three Macbeth studies: 60, 27, 32. Later tried with N=153, 148, 266, 210, etc. and surprise surprise...
Another example, the "Power posing will make you act bolder" study, originally with only N=42. Later tried with N=200 by researchers at the Univirsity of Zurich, and the effect disappeared.
And the list goes on [2]
