It certainly means that all psychological studies you want to build further research upon will require reproduction of the study first.

I’m against trying to reproduce while going through a psychological test.

And yet, that is how it is with some women.

Yeah, that’s how it is with most women. The psychological testing never ends. Not before, during, or after reproducing.

“When independent researchers tried to replicate dozens of important studies in cancer, women’s health, and cardiovascular disease, only 25% confirmed the original result (Prinz et al., 2011). In a similar investigation, Begley and Ellis (2012) reported a meager 11% replication rate.

In psychology, a survey of unpublished replication attempts found that about 50% replicated the original results (Hartshorne & Schachner, 2012; see also Wager et al., 2009 for neuroscience).”
