I added the last two because they were mentioned in the article but not in the list. This was conducted to prove that people have trouble distinguishing between science fiction and reality. I would have expected to see this conducted in the US but I was shocked when it was the UK. Pretty funny if you ask me, score one for 'Murica!

Exactly! That's why I don't really listen to studies when they just say surveys were taken. Bottom line is anyone doing one of these studies could easily do a survey that would strengthen their point.
Ex: I want to prove to people Cheese is good. I can go survey Wisconsin and get great results.
