Thanks for the links! Lots of food for thought. I was mildly gloomed by the finding that children with religious upbringings are more gullible than those without, but... ah well, there you go. If it's so, it's so.
And speaking of gullible (? am I reading this wrong?) the BBC doesn't seem to realise that "Choose-your-own-adventure" books were around in the 1970s, i.e. well before the Fighting Fantasy books; the latter seem to be being credited with the invention of game books.
