ISO yes/no button naming research

[Becca Price <becca_price -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

I'm looking for some research on naming buttons in dialog
warning boxes.

Microsoft standard for warning boxes is to have the buttons read
Yes/No/Cancel - in fact, when you create a warning dialog, those
buttons are created automatically, I think.

I have a vague recollection of some user interface research that
says that you should avoid yes/no buttons,because people tend to
automatically click YES without necessarily reading the message.
 Can anyone point me to that research?

Thanks!
