Elaborate. Your "in the 20% range" claim seems to be incorrect, according to your own source, and missing context: research in other fields like medicine faces similar issues.
In psychology:
> In August 2015, the first open empirical study of reproducibility in psychology was published [...] Of 97 original studies with significant effects, 36% replicated successfully (p value below 0.05)
In medicine, for comparison:
> Of 49 medical studies from 1990 to 2003 with more than 1000 citations, 92% found that the studied therapies were effective. Of these studies, 16% were contradicted by subsequent studies, 16% had found stronger effects than did subsequent studies, 44% were replicated, and 24% remained largely unchallenged. A 2011 analysis by researchers with pharmaceutical company Bayer found that, at most, a quarter of Bayer's in-house findings replicated the original results. But the analysis of Bayer's results found that the results that did replicate could often be successfully used for clinical applications.
- somenameforme 19d agoAh it looks like somebody has been ideologically editing Wikipedia. Shocker. Here [1] is an archive from a year or so ago, referencing/citing the 23% for the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. I should probably look to finding a more stable and reliable source for information/citations than Wiki.

- dns_snek 17d agoActually that's my bad. The current article still says fundamentally the same thing it's just formatted slightly differently: > Studies in the field of cognitive psychology had a higher replication rate (50%) than studies in the field of social psychology (25%). I somehow overlooked that part of your comment. The 23% figure is still present but it refers to a specific journal so I didn't take it into account.
