All I remember from my psychology classes is that for every study that shows some phenomenon, there's another study that shows the opposite. That's why I switched to math.

I've heard this a few times. Is this real or just some kind of joke ?

It was definitely true in my experience- the general feeling was that it's very hard to prove any general rules in psychology, because there are so many factors. You want to be able to say "people are ___" but people are just way too complex.
