Not a flame, but a suggestion to all the people who've been requesting
pointers to research studies:

Get thee to the local college library and become familiar with the
_Psychological Abstracts_.  These contain references to all the published
psych literature by author, title and subject.  You'll find an hour or two
spent with them far more productive than asking for pointers here.
