There's a lot of discussion here on why Psychology has this problem more so than fields outside the social science realm.
I think we're all missing what is fundamentally flawed about academic psychology; and it's not their methodology.
In North America (perhaps elsewhere) you are required to have at least a Master's degree to practise Psychology and you should have a doctorate if you want any mobility with your practise.
This leads people who have no interest in academia having to find a way to convince people they've discovered something new and novel so that they can go apply what has already been discovered.
It's no surprise many of this studies can't be replicated! They were designed from the beginning to lead to a significant findings so that someone could write their dissertation, get their doctorate and get the hell out of there.
And you know what? I do not blame them in the slightest. Academia is a nightmare and it's holding a whole profession hostage.
