The most convincing are the psychological studies. Articles tend to focus on one particular psychological issue as they discuss the subject, then focus on that. Within the discussions and data are the unaffected, which leaves a large population of "normal" folks who are still subject to the phenomena. The cross sections are fascinating and what keeps this a topic of interest. I keep looking for media affects as well, but they proving to be weak and unpredictable in the literature as its being reviewed. A smoking gun? Not a chance. What really gets to me about it, it's very similar to kids who have been abused and have repressed memories, something I have experience with. A very fascinating phenomena to try and understand. A lot of layers to peel back.
