My understanding is that other people in this field, such as Amy Cuddy, who popularized "Power Poses", have also been revealed to be frauds.

Not sure how that's relevant, unless you're suggesting that because some frauds exist in a given field, therefore all members of that field are frauds?

That's the way I view astrology.

Astrology is many orders less predictive than psychology...

Huge swaths of behavioral economics have replicated successfully. Care to cite peer-reviewed studies related to astrology that have successfully replicated?

It is not clear to me whether Amy Cuddy was a fraud OR whether she just published a "statistically significant" result without really understanding it or making any attempt to replicate it in a large sample. I lean towards the latter on the basis of reading about her case probably nearly ten years ago.
