Yes, while this may sound like a Kent Brockman news story, it is in fact the fruit of a study made by 270 researchers who meticulously reproduced past psychology studies. 60% of the results refuted those of their original studies. Sources have yet to confirm whether the re-results of this study will re-re-refute those found in this one.

Wasn't aware of that but I had heard that 76.53% of all statistics are made up on-the-spot.

This is fairly obvious for studies conducted for the soft sciences including psychology MAJ (Join to see). I would expect scientific studies for chemistry, physics, geology and biology to be more reliable if they are conducted according to established study principle.
