Yes, but a longitudinal examination of psychology publications shows that, compared to mainstream science, psychology studies are rarely anything but "early-stage studies". Almost none of them is ever successfully replicated, nor is an effort made to replicate them, compared to other fields.

I of course agree, but then it's a psychology study, where such hand-waving claims are commonplace.
