Same here. I had to downgrade all my beliefs which were based on hard psychology textbooks. I was hardly aware of such prevalence of scientific fraud, in the field of psychology. On a side note, what about the psychological studies oft quoted in the sequences? How much can they be trusted?

Why stop at psychology? Lots of scientific papers are retracted.
