#2 Where's the ~~graft~~ funding in that? Long time past to shut down the university-science complex that feeds on grant monies for 'studies'.

#9 Oh my goodness.

Because most studies in psychology are qualitative not quantitative it is difficult to replicate a study in which 800 people were interviewed and the results tabulated and then analyzed. Unless you interview the same people in the same demographic etc., you might find it difficult to replicate.
Especially if the study is phenomenological.
