Thanks, Ansa-- the article is very interesting. I'd love to know more about the emotional responses to the study. For those who would prefer not to cut and paste, here is a live link to the article. On the page that comes up there is a heading, "Related Articles on the Web." Under that there is a link to "Google Scholar." Clicking on that link brings up more articles.
