In a recent study,a team of researchers redid 100 studies published in three top psychology journals to see if they could get the same results the moment time around. Michael C. Frank, Associate Professor of Psychology Stanford University, and  discusses the surprising findings: more than 60 of the studies did not hold up.
Now: 75% of published psych studies did not pass the Reproducibility Test - that is,replicating the study with the same results.
