Visual attentional capture predicts belief in a meaningful world.

TL;DR: It is shown that the automatic, involuntary process of attentional capture is predictive of beliefs that are typically considered as much more complex and higher-level, and that religious people have a stronger belief in meaningfulness of coincidences, indicative of a more general tendency to maintain strong schemata.

A survey of rabbit handling methods within the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland

TL;DR: “Scruffing with rear support” was the least used method and was considered to be distressing and painful for the rabbit, and additional research is encouraged to explore the experience of rabbits during handling to identify methods that can be easily used with the fewest welfare compromises.
