I haven't looked at this study, but prior replication studies have found that the effects were reproduced in almost every study, but that the effects were weaker in the replication than in the original study.[0]
That raises different questions than 'psychology studies are all wrong', and I'm still waiting to see a serious discussion of them. So far, what I see is news (studies not replicated) and condemnation (like this article), from which I don't learn much.
[0] That's not necessarily a condemnation of the researchers: Imagine a set of studies that, each time they are performed, have a 50-50 chance of producing the strong effects or weak effects. Which studies in that set are going to be the ones that you read about? It could be selection by randomness.
