A major part, and one that helps explain the medical aspect, is that the threshold of what constitutes a successful experiment is too low and too easily manipulated. So lots of experiments that “showed” something actually only hinted at it or had no real correlation at all.

What has been the standard for publishing a reputable "successful" psych study pre discovery of the replication crisis, and what's wrong with it?
