PSYCHOLOGICAL INTERVENTIONS FOR CANCERPATIENTS AND FAMILY SHARON MANNE (RUTGERS UNIVERSITY) Women diagnosed with gynecological cancer face manypsychosocial and physical challenges. Symptoms are typicallysubtle and non-specific, and there is no regular screening.Diagnosis is usually delayed, and greater than two thirds of thesecancers are diagnosed at advanced stages. The five-yearsurvival for patients with advanced cancer is lower than 45%.The course is characterized by recurrences and multiple coursesof treatment, which ultimately do not control the disease. Giventhe difficult course and poor prognosis, it is not surprising thatpsychological distress is relatively prevalent. Only a limitednumber of psychological interventions have been developed andevaluated for this population, and these have had inconsistenteffects. Some trials have shown significant short-term reductionsin distress, but others have not. In our work, we developed andevaluated the efficacy of two interventions—a coping andcommunication skills intervention (CCI) and a supportivecounseling (SC) intervention—and compared both to Usual Care(UC) in two large randomized controlled trials. Dr. Manne willsummarize her team’s intervention research with this populationover the last 15 years.

LEARNING PAPERS: CONDITIONS FOR LEARNINGFriday, March 4, 2022

8:00am-9:20am

CHAIR: NOELLE MICHAUD

8:00am - 8:15am PARTIAL REINFORCEMENT EFFECTS ON ACQUISITIONAND EXTINCTION OF A CONDITIONED TASTE AVERSION NOELLE MICHAUD, MARK BOUTON (UNIVERSITY OFVERMONT) In four experiments, rats received a taste paired with lithiumchloride on every trial or on only some of the trials (partialreinforcement). Reinforced and nonreinforced trials causeddecreases and increases (respectively) in consumption on thenext trial. A partial reinforcement extinction effect was also

observed when there was a large number of conditioning trials.Results provide more evidence that aversion learning mightfollow rules that are not different from other forms of associativelearning. 8:20am - 8:35am OBTAINING THE BENEFIT OF TRIAL SPACING WITHOUTLENGTHENING THE TRAINING SESSION SARAH CHEW (BINGHAMTON UNIVERSITY, SUNY),SANTIAGO CASTIELLO, ROBIN A. MURPHY (UNIVERSITY OFOXFORD), JAMES E. WITNAUER (SUNY BROCKPORT),RALPH R. MILLER (BINGHAMTON UNIVERSITY, SUNY) Positive contingency judgments of two events are based not onlyon the conjoint occurrence of said events but also theirco-absence. Whereas human learning is not as heavilyinfluenced by co-absences as by co-occurrences, we found thatmanipulating the frequency of co-absence trials had a greaterimpact on judgments of associations than manipulating theduration of co-absence. Our findings indicate that more frequent(but shorter) co-absence benefits associative learning withoutchanging overall training time. 8:40am - 8:55am DISSOCIATING THE EFFECTS OF PROBABILITY AND RATEOF REINFORCEMENT ON CR STRENGTH JORGE MALLEA (COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY), LILY LE, ATARASCHULHOF (BARNARD COLLEGE), CHARLES R. GALLISTEL(RUTGERS UNIVERSITY), PETER D. BALSAM (COLUMBIAUNIVERSITY; BARNARD COLLEGE; NEW YORK STATEPSYCHIATRIC INSTITUTE) Two experiments in mice dissociated the effects of probabilityand reinforcement rate on Pavlovian learning, by manipulatingthe number of reinforcers signaled by the cue (Experiment 1), ordividing a fixed delay to reinforcement into different numbers ofindividual trials (Experiment 2). The results of both experimentssuggest that probability of reinforcement influences responseprobability and rate independently of changes in reinforcementrate. Altering probability had no effect on speed of acquisition ineither experiment. 9:00am - 9:15am CONTRIBUTIONS OF REWARD IDENTITY AND TIMINGPREDICTION ERRORS TO PAVLOVIAN LEARNING DANIEL SIEGEL (GRADUATE CENTER - CITY UNIVERSITYOF NEW YORK), NOAH HUSSEIN, ANDREW DELAMATER(BROOKLYN COLLEGE - CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK) Prediction errors (PEs) are often viewed as promotingassociative learning, but the role of reward is often limited to itsvalue. Other reward features also factor into PEs. In experiment1, we demonstrated outcome-specific learning that wasunblocked following a reversal of reward identity and timing. Inexperiment 2, immunolabeling revealed an effect of rewardidentity PEs on dopamine neuronal ensemble size. Experiment 3tested the brain activation effects of reward timing PEs.

TEACHING OF PSYCHOLOGY PAPERS - SESSION 1Friday, March 4, 2022

8:00am-9:20am

CHAIR: JASON SPIEGELMAN

8:00am - 8:15am SMALL GROUPS SATISFY: A DESCRIPTIVE ANALYSIS OFENGAGEMENT IN VIRTUAL LEARNING ANGELA YARNELL (UNIFORMED SERVICES UNIVERSITY),KAYLA SALLANDER (THE GEORGE WASHINGTONUNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE AND HEALTHSCIENCES), ERIN BARRY (UNIFORMED SERVICESUNIVERSITY) Due to COVID restrictions, students participated in a virtualsummer program instead of an in-person experience.Participants completed pre- and post-surveys to assessexpectations and engagement. Students were most engagedwith small group sessions where they could apply knowledge andskills versus large group lectures. As the world navigatesreturning to in-person learning and continuing in virtualclassrooms, it is important to know what environments studentsfeel most engaged in and enjoy. 8:20am - 8:35am RETRIEVAL PRACTICE IN AN AUTHENTIC CLASSROOM ELIZABETH SHOBE (STOCKTON UNIVERSITY) Effects of distributing questions throughout lectures (retrievalpractice) on delayed tests were observed in four sections of anauthentic Introductory Psychology class (n = 384). Two sectionsincluded retrieval practice, two did not. Two hypotheses weresupported: 1) distributing retrieval practice throughout lecturesimproved student performance; 2) Repeated or new delayed testquestions resulted in similar testing effects. Low-stakes,ungraded retrieval practices can be feasibly and sustainablyimplemented in the classroom to increase test performance. 8:40am - 8:55am TEACHING ON A MISSION: BRINGING STUDENT ANDINSTRUCTOR CLARITY TO INTRO PSYCH GARTH NEUFELD (CASCADIA COLLEGE), JASONSPIEGELMAN (THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE OF BALTIMORECOUNTY) An applied presentation will focus on how instructors can simplifyIntroductory Psychology courses by emphasizing clarity forthemselves and for students by visualizing learning goals fromstrength-based and value-based course decisions. Examples ofclass activities toward this mission will be offered.

CLINICAL POSTERS: COGNITION, COVID, & OTHERFriday, March 4, 2022

8:00am-9:20am

POSTER 1 PERSONALITY TRAITS EXPRESSED IN SENTENCECOMPLETIONS CORRELATE MEANINGFULLY WITHMULTIPLE SELF-REPORT MEASURES STEPHEN JOY (ALBERTUS MAGNUS COLLEGE), WILSONMCDERMUT (ST. JOHN'S UNIVERSITY), PRIYAMVADABORUA, KEITH KNOX (ALBERTUS MAGNUS COLLEGE) Major personality traits (Extraversion, Neuroticism, andPsychoticism) were rated based on open-ended responses to theRotter Incomplete Sentences Blank (RISB) made by a studentsample (N=69). These ratings were correlated with scores onmultiple self-report inventories, including the NEO-PI-R, SNAP,IIP-SC, SGABS, PDSC, and PDSQ. RISB ratings correlatedstrongly with self-reported traits and meaningfully with measuresof interpersonal problems, irrational thinking, psychiatricsymptoms, and personality disorder. The RISB can be used tomeasure personality traits. POSTER 2 STEADY-STATE VISUAL-EVOKED POTENTIALS: A NOVELBIOSIGNATURE FOR ANXIETY-RELATED ATTENTION BIASTO THREAT ELIZABETH DAVIS (CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORKGRADUATE CENTER, CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORKHUNTER COLLEGE), MILANA KHAITOVA (CITY UNIVERSITYOF NEW YORK HUNTER COLLEGE), KRISTI LISE (CITYUNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK QUEENS COLLEGE, CITYUNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK HUNTER COLLEGE), TRACYDENNIS-TIWARY (CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORKHUNTER COLLEGE, CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORKGRADUATE CENTER) Prior research shows that steady state visually evoked potentials(SSVEP) are a neurophysiological measure of selective attentionto threat modulated by emotionally salient stimuli. This studyinvestigated if SSVEP power to threat versus neutral faces variedby anxiety severity and diagnosis. Results indicated that theSSVEP was enhanced to threat relative to neutral faces, but onlyamong those meeting criteria for generalized anxiety disorder. POSTER 3 DISCLOSURE OF SEXUAL VICTIMIZATION: DEVELOPING AMEASURE OF REASONS FOR DISCLOSURE KATHERINE TINEO, SHANNA RAZAK (QUEENS COLLEGECUNY), SARA BABAD, VALENTINA NIKULINA (CUNY

GRADUATE CENTER) According to the CDC, rape is associated with risks fordetrimental psychological and physical health effects. There isnot a standardized measure to assess the reasons of disclosureof sexual victimization. To fill this gap, the authors havedeveloped a measure identifying reasons for disclosure of sexualvictimization. These pilot findings demonstrate the developmentof a psychometrically sound measure. Once finalized, themeasure can serve to better understand the disclosure processand to advance research. POSTER 4 ATTITUDES AND PREDICTORS OF COVID-19 RECEPTION:THE FACTS BEHIND THE ANTI-VAX ALEXA ROMANELLA, ALEXANDER SKOLNICK (SAINTJOSEPH'S UNIVERSITY) COVID-19 vaccination attitudes and attainment were studiedacross undergraduates (n=816). PreHealth-designated studentswere not more likely to receive the vaccine than their peers.Business school students had more negative vaccinationattitudes than Arts and Sciences students. High COVID-19vaccination was associated with lower VAX scale scores, lowerTampering with Nature scores, and liberal political ratings.Regression results show VAX score and future flu shotattainment were strong significant predictors of COVID-19vaccine attainment. POSTER 5 CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS OF THE GENTLENESSSCALE ALYSSA CANGEMI, ROBERT MCGRATH (FAIRLEIGHDICKINSON UNIVERSITY), RYAN NIEMIEC (VIA INSTITUTE) Gentleness has been almost entirely absent from the scientificpsychological literature, with almost no peer-reviewed articlesdiscussing the concept. A proposed scale of gentleness will bepresented, along with factor loadings, reliability data, and initialvalidity data using scales from the VIA Inventory as criteria. POSTER 6 PDSQ LOCAL NORMS STUDY LISA CARABALLO, RAUL LORENZO, WILSON MCDERMUT(SAINT JOHN'S UNIVERSITY) At a clinical psychology training center in Queens, NY, wegenerated local norms for The Psychiatric Diagnostic ScreeningQuestionnaire (PDSQ), a symptom screener for DSM-IV Axis Idisorders. Compared to the original Rhode Island outpatientsample, our client sample was more diverse, slightly younger,and reported lower levels of symptoms. It is hoped that localnorms will aid in the interpretation of severity of outpatients in thisclinic, and consequently result in improved caseconceptualization. POSTER 7

PERCUTANEOUS ELECTRICAL NERVE FIELDSTIMULATION TO REDUCE CLINICAL OPIATEWITHDRAWAL: A ALLISON AVILES (AWARE RECOVERY CARE), FRANK D.BUONO (YALE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE), SHELLEYHALLIGAN, ROSEMARY PICKERING (AWARE RECOVERYCARE) Due to the severity of opiate withdrawal, alternative treatmentsare a pragmatic method to reduce the co-occurring symptoms ofwithdrawal. A retrospective chart review of five individuals goingthrough in-home withdrawal management were treated with aPercutaneous Electrical Nerve Field Stimulator (PNFS). Clinicalopiate withdrawal scores and clinician reviews were evaluatedover the course of five days. Results showed significant reductionin COW scores over the course of the treatment. POSTER 8 CAN MUSIC CHANGE MOOD? AN EXPERIMENTAL AFFECTPRIMING STUDY BRIANNA GERHARDT (STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORKAT POTSDAM), CLAIRE J. STARRS (MCGILL UNIVERSITY) The complex relationship between music and emotion has notbeen central to music psychology. Therefore, the current studysought rectify this by utilizing an experimental affect primingdesign to induce a target emotion (e.g., sad) and to examine howparticipants subsequent music choice (sad or happy music)impacted their outcome affect. Key findings suggest that listeningto sad music when sad does not alleviate our sadness. POSTER 9 THE FEASIBILITY OF REMOTE BRIEF MINDFULNESSTRAINING AND IMPACT ON ATTENTION BIAS HANNA CULANG (HUNTER COLLEGE, CITY UNIVERSITY OFNEW YORK), ELIZABETH RENÉE DAVIS (THE GRADUATECENTER, CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK), MILANAKHAITOVA (HUNTER COLLEGE, CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEWYORK), JAMIE KARNS, SHANNAN CHEN (NEW YORKUNIVERSITY), ALYSSA DESTEFANO (CITY COLLEGE OFNEW YORK, CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK), TRACYDENNIS-TIWARY (HUNTER COLLEGE, CITY UNIVERSITY OFNEW YORK) Remediating attention biases associated with anxiety is shown toimprove symptoms, but the underlying mechanisms throughwhich cognitive biases influence anxiety requires investigation.This study tested the association between mindfulness andanxiety-related attention bias (AB). Participants were randomlyassigned via survey software to either control or briefmindfulness training (BMT) conditions. Analyses revealed thatBMT effectively improves subjective mindfulness, but did notreduce AB. Directions for future research are discussed. POSTER 10 ANXIOUS AND DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS AND SOCIALEVALUATIVE THREAT PREDICTS CORTISOL REACTIVITY

MEGAN STRICKLAND (PACE UNIVERSITY), EMILY HOOKER(THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT CHAPEL HILL),NILS MYSZKOWSKI (PACE UNIVERSITY), PEGGY ZOCCOLA(OHIO UNIVERSITY), SALLY DICKERSON (PACEUNIVERSITY) Current evidence suggests that exposure to social-evaluativethreat (SET) can elicit greater physiological responses,particularly cortisol, compared to non-SET stressors. The currentstudy tested if there are different relationships between anxiousand/or depressive symptoms and cortisol reactivity in thepresence or absence of SET. We found that social evaluationhad a significant effect on cortisol reactivity, and that this effectwas moderated by symptomatology. POSTER 11 ATTENTION BIAS MODERATES THE LINK BETWEENPERCEIVED SOCIAL SUPPORT AND ANXIETY MILANA KHAITOVA (HUNTER COLLEGE - THE CITYUNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK), ELIZABETH DAVIS, JENNIFERDE RUTTE (THE GRADUATE CENTER - THE CITYUNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK, HUNTER COLLEGE - THE CITYUNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK), TRACY DENNIS-TIWARY(HUNTER COLLEGE - THE CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK,THE GRADUATE CENTER - THE CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEWYORK) Perceived social support (PSS) may be a protective factoragainst anxiety symptom development. We explored associationsbetween anxiety and PSS in anxious adults and whetherattention bias (AB) towards and away from threat moderated theassociation between PSS and anxiety. Greater PSS wasassociated with less anxiety and greater avoidant AB; in addition,low PSS was associated with greater anxiety but only for thosewith AB away from threat. POSTER 12 CONSTRUCT VALIDITY OF SUBJECTIVE AND OBJECTIVEADHD SYMPTOMS IN COLLEGE STUDENTSADHD KATIE FITZGERALD, ARA NAZMIYAL, BENJAMIN LOVETT(TEACHERS COLLEGE, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY) ADHD symptoms are common in college students, but there is noconsensus on which tools are best for diagnosing the disorder.We used a multi-trait multi-method analysis to analyze theconstruct validity of self-ratings and neuropsychological testscores measuring symptoms in two symptom domains:inattention and hyperactivity/impulsiveness. We found that themethod of assessment had far more influence on scores than thedomain being assessed. Implications for practice and futureresearch are discussed. POSTER 13 THE EFFECTS OF STIGMATIZATION ON INDIVIDUALS INAGE-GAP RELATIONSHIPS DEREK SCOLPINO (THE NEW SCHOOL) This study examines the impact that stigmatization has on

5

age-gap couples. Participants responded to a questionnaire inwhich they indicated their exposure to stigmatization andstereotyping due to the age difference in their relationship.Results from individuals in age-matched relationships werecompared to individuals in age-gap relationships and show astrong correlation between an increase in age difference betweenthe two partners and exposure to stigma and stereotyping. POSTER 14 THE IMPACT OF EXCLUSION ON RELATIONSHIPCLOSENESS FOR THOSE WITH VARYING NATALIE BEDERMAN, KEVIN MEEHAN (LONG ISLANDUNIVERSITY) The current study explores the impact of rejection on closenessbetween participants, at varying levels of BPD, who know eachother well. The dyads filled out questionnaires, played threerounds of Cyberball and answered questions about theirexperience. There was found to be a significant differencebetween feelings of closeness in fair-play condition and in theexclusion condition, however this significance could not beexplained by BPD features. POSTER 15 FROM ATTACHMENT TO DEATH ANXIETY IN THE RETIREDPOPULATION SERENA VEITH, NICHOLAS PAPOUCHIS (LONG ISLANDUNIVERSITY, BROOKLYN) This present study examined death anxiety and secureattachment among retired adults. In addition, it evaluated socialsupport and ego integrity as potential mediators. No significantinteractions were found for death anxiety, thus a post hocanalysis was performed to examine the relationship betweenattachment and ego integrity with social support as a mediator.The model was significant, demonstrating that meaningfulrelationships are essential in the integration of life experiences tofeel satisfied after retirement. POSTER 16 EXAMINING HOW REASONS FOR SHELTER STAY RELATETO PARENTAL DISTRESS AND WARMTH ABIGAIL KNIGHT, LUCRETIA DUNLAP, JANETTE HERBERS(VILLANOVA UNIVERSITY) Within the homeless shelter context, parents face uniquechallenges in caring for themselves and their children. Weexamine how reason for shelter stay relates to both parentaldistress and warmth towards their child. We find that parentsexpress less warmth toward their child when reason for shelterstay is due to safety concerns or eviction. We also find thatparents report more distress when the reason is due to safetyconcerns or drug-related issues. POSTER 17 GRITTY, CONSCIENTIOUS, AND BEING IN CONTROL?WHICH MATTERS MOST FOR SUCCESS?

REET PATEL, JEANMARIE HARVEY, CARLIE PASCALE,JESSICA FLECK (THE RICHARD STOCKTON COLLEGE OFNEW JERSEY) Grit, conscientiousness, and self-control are related constructs,shown to contribute to social, academic, and cognitiveachievements. However, less is known about the distinct role ofeach concept to successful outcomes. Our participantscompleted self-report measures of grit, conscientiousness, andself-control; reported their GPA; and completed Sternberg’smemory task. Regression analyses revealed thatconscientiousness predicted GPA, whereas grit and self-controlpredicted Sternberg task performance, helping to distinguish thecontributions of these constructs to different outcomes. POSTER 18 PANDEMIC-RELATED STRESSORS AND POSTTRAUMATICSTRESS: THE ROLE OF SOCIAL SUPPORT MALI ZAKEN, GULER BOYRAZ, SALLY DICKERSON (PACEUNIVERSITY) This correlational study examined interrelationships amongpandemic-related stressors, social support, coping flexibility, andpandemic-related posttraumatic stress (PTS) in a sample ofadults (N = 2,291) from the United States. Participants completedan online survey between May 22nd, 2020 and July 15th, 2020.Results indicated that, after controlling for pandemic-relatedstressors, social support had negative direct and indirect (viacoping flexibility) effects on PTS but it did not moderate theeffects of pandemic-related stressors on PTS. POSTER 19 NEGATIVE EMOTIONS IN ROMANTIC CONFLICTNARRATIVES DURING COVID-19 FAITH CORTRIGHT, JOSE CANCEL, ALYNA STRUMOLO,JESSICA O'DELL, CANDICE FEIRING (THE COLLEGE OFNEW JERSEY) As romantic relationships become more intimate in emergingadulthood, partners must learn to manage conflict relatedemotions. Relationship stress due to the Covid-19 has madedealing with conflict more challenging. Guided by relationalturbulence theory, we examined how narrative indicators ofnegative emotions varied by relationship duration and viewpoint(recounting one’s own or partner’s unmet needs). As expected,those in longer relationships used more negative words whenrecounting their own and their partners’ unmet needs. POSTER 20 PANDEMIC EFFECTS ON PSYCHOSOCIAL OUTCOMES:FONO SCALE DEVELOPMENT AND SOCIAL ANXIETY BROOKE RICCITELLI (STONEHILL COLLEGE), MORGANTHOMAS (STONEHILL COLLEGE), SAMANTHA SCHRAM(LAFAYETTE COLLEGE), ERIN O'HEA (STONEHILLCOLLEGE) Since the pandemic, we have collectively yearned to go ‘back to

6

normal’. We created a scale to measure this fear of going back tonormal, the Fear of Normal Scale (FONO), which consists of 10items. We examined college students’ social anxiety, asmeasured by LSAS, related to FONO scores. Pearson rcorrelations suggested students who were more fearful of goingback to normal had less symptoms of social anxiety/fear andsocial avoidance. POSTER 21 ASSOCIATIONS BETWEEN COVID-19 FAMILY FINANCIALHARDSHIP, PARENTING STRESS, AND CHILDPSYCHOPATHOLOGY ELLA SWAN, GRACE CONNELLY, DEVIN GAFFNEY, MARYCLAIRE MARSH, SARAH STANGER (ALLEGHENY COLLEGE) This study investigated associations between family economichardship during the COVID-19 pandemic, parenting stress, andchild internalizing and externalizing symptoms. Previous researchsuggests that financial stress affects both parent and childoutcomes. A sample of 204 parents of 8- to 12-year-old childrenwere recruited on MTurk in August 2020. Mediation analysessuggested that families who experienced financial hardshipreported more frequent and intense daily parenting hassles, andthose hassles were associated with greater childpsychopathology. POSTER 22 POST-PANDEMIC CHANGES IN DOCTORAL PSYCHOLOGYADMISSIONS: THE FATE OF GRES AND INTERVIEWS CHRISTINA CARACHILO, JESSICA GOLDSCHLAGER, JOHNNORCROSS (UNIVERSITY OF SCRANTON) For decades, 90% of doctoral clinical and counseling psychologyprograms required Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scoresand in-person interviews for admission. COVID-19 and BlackLives Matter (BLM) dramatically altered those requirements. A2021 survey of APA-accredited programs (96% response, N =319) revealed that at least 20% were not using GREs andanother 30% went test optional. 92% of programs still require thepreadmission interview, but only 9% insist on an in-personinterview. POSTER 23 RACISM IN SOCIAL-MEDIA ON EAST ASIAN AMERICANS’WELLBEING DURING COVID-19 JESSICA AU, FAIZA FAROOQ, SONIA SUCHDAY (PACEUNIVERSITY) This study examines the relationship between perceivedexposure to racist content online, exposure to racialcyber-aggression towards others, fear of negativeevaluation(FNE), and perceived stress(PS) in East-AsianAmericans(N=28; Meanage=26.68years) during COVID-19.Online exposure to racism and cyber-aggression towards otherswere positively correlated with PS; Online racism was notcorrelated with FNE in this study. Data suggest exposure to racistcontent online and racial cyber-aggression leads to increasedstress and may impact mental health and well-being.

POSTER 24 PSYCHOLOGICAL DISTRESS IN PREGNANT WOMENBEFORE AND DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC DEBORAH DA COSTA, MONICA VAILLANCOURT, JIAYUEHAO, HANNAH SCHWARTZ, TUONG-VI NGUYEN (MCGILLUNIVERSITY) This study evaluated psychological distress in women pregnantduring the later stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. Self-reportquestionnaires were completed on-line by 140 women during thepandemic and 112 women before the pandemic. Pregnantwomen during the later stages of the COVID-19 pandemicremain at high risk for elevated symptoms of depression andanxiety. There is an urgent need to universally screen andensure timely resources to prevent or reduce furtherexacerbation of maternal distress. POSTER 25 RACIAL DIFFERENCES IN COVID-RELATED ANXIETY ANDAVOIDANT BEHAVIOR FRANK LUO, JANE GORMAN, TAYLOR PITT, JENNIFERAWAD, BENJAMIN VOGEL, GREGORY BARTOSZEK(WILLIAM PATERSON UNIVERSITY OF NEW JERSEY) Research suggests COVID-19 disproportionately affects racialminorities. Thus, we hypothesized that COVID-19 provokes moreanxiety and avoidance in minorities than in Whites and that thesedifferences predict depression. Black, Latinx, and Whiteparticipants completed measures of avoidance, anxiety, anddepression. As predicted, both minority groups endorsed moreavoidance and Latinx participants reported elevated anxiety.However, groups did not differ in depression levels, invitingfurther investigation into how avoidance interacts withdepression. POSTER 26 EFFECTS OF SOCIAL ISOLATION ON CHANGES INSUBSTANCE USE AND PERCEIVED RISK SYDNEY VOELBEL, JACK GOEMBEL, KATHERINEDESROSIERS, AUDREY WEIL (WASHINGTON COLLEGE) We examined the influences of social isolation on substance useand perceived risk. Results indicated greater levels of isolationpredicted increased use of nicotine, marijuana, alcohol, andamphetamines, but was unrelated to changes in use for cocaine,and opioids. Additionally, we found that greater levels of socialisolation also predicted increased risk perception for COVID-19complications due to smoking nicotine through e-cigarettes.However, social isolation did not predict greater risk perceptionrelated to smoking cigarettes. POSTER 27 TRUST IN AUTHORITY MODERATES THE RELATIONSHIPBETWEEN PUBLIC HEALTH RECOMMENDATIONSADHERENCE

7

ROSE LINN (QUEENS COLLEGE CUNY), REENA MAHARAJ,SARA BABAD, VALENTINA NIKULINA (QUEENS COLLEGE) The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the importance of trust in theinformation disseminated by the authorities, and media, foradherence to public health recommendations (PHR). Weassessed whether trust in information is associated with mentalhealth during the pandemic. In a sample of 324 individuals fromacross the US, we found that higher adherence to PHR is morestrongly linked to reduced anxiety, for those who trust authorityand the COVID-19 related information that they receive. POSTER 28 PERCEPTIONS OF BOREDOM-ATTRIBUTED DEVIANTBEHAVIOR SALLY MCHUGH (THE NEW SCHOOL FOR SOCIALRESEARCH), LOTUS LIEN (COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY IN THECITY OF NEW YORK), EMILY WEISS, NOAH DOHERTY,MCWELLING TODMAN (THE NEW SCHOOL FOR SOCIALRESEARCH) This study examined differences in the perception of boredom asa motivational attribution in decision-making. We exploredwhether deviant behavior attributed to feelings of boredom wouldbe perceived more negatively than behavior attributed to anger,anxiety or depression. To test these relationships, participantswere randomly assigned to one of four negative emotion stateconditions where they read vignettes of emotionally-explaineddeviant actions and rated the behavior using five six-point Likertscales evaluating perceptions. POSTER 29 DEHUMANIZING AND HUMANIZINGPATIENTS/COLLEAGUES: THE EFFECTS AMONGPROVIDERS RESPONDING TO COVID-19 ALEXANDRA SPINELLI, ANGELIQUE PURANDA, SHARILIEBLICH (ST. JOHNS UNIVERSITY), RACHAEL RODRIGUEZ(), LUKE KEATING (ST. JOHNS UNIVERSITY), INES TESTONI(UNIVERSITY OF PADUA), ELIZABETH BRONDOLO (ST.JOHNS UNIVERSITY) Health care providers (HCPs) may dehumanize their patients asa means of navigating the complex emotional demands of caringfor sick and dying patients, permitting greater focus on the clinicalversus interpersonal aspects of health care and avoid burnout.The literature is mixed on the outcomes of dehumanization.Among HCPs responding to COVID-19 in Italy, dehumanizationwas associated with decreased self-efficacy and increasedburnout. Humanization was positively associated withself-efficacy and negatively associated with burnout. POSTER 30 PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION OF PSYCHIATRIC DISTRESSDURING COVID-19: A CLINICAL SAMPLE OF VETERANS TRAVIS I. SCHNEIDER (CENTER FOR INTEGRATEDHEALTHCARE, SYRACUSE VA MEDICAL CENTER),JENNIFER S. FUNDERBURK (CENTER FOR INTEGRATEDHEALTHCARE, SYRACUSE VA MEDICAL CENTER;

DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY, SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY;DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHIATRY, UNIVERSITY OFROCHESTER, ROCHESTER), ROBYN L. SHEPARDSON(CENTER FOR INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE, SYRACUSE VAMEDICAL CENTER; DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY,SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY) Due to the high prevalence of mental health in the Veteranpopulation and the exacerbating effects of the pandemic, thisstudy examines the role of the anxiety and threat associated withthe COVID-19 pandemic on a clinical sample of Veterans’psychological distress over time. Our results revealed that aboveand beyond the impact of baseline psychological distress, it wasCOVID-Anxiety rather than COVID-Threat that had a significantimpact on psychological distress at post-assessment. POSTER 31 EFFECTS OF COVID-19 ON BEHAVIORAL ANXIETYTREATMENT DELIVERY FOR PRIMARY CARE VETERANS TESSA L. LIVINGSTON, LUKE D. MITZEL (CENTER FORINTEGRATED HEALTHCARE, SYRACUSE VA MEDICALCENTER), ROBYN L. SHEPARDSON (CENTER FORINTEGRATED HEALTHCARE, SYRACUSE VA MEDICALCENTER; DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY, SYRACUSEUNIVERSITY), JENNIFER S. FUNDERBURK (CENTER FORINTEGRATED HEALTHCARE, SYRACUSE VA MEDICALCENTER; DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY, SYRACUSEUNIVERSITY; DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHIATRY, UNIVERSITYOF ROCHESTER), RISA B. WEISBERG (VA BOSTONHEALTHCARE SYSTEM; DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHIATRY,BOSTON UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE;DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY MEDICINE, ALPERT MEDICALSCHOOL, BROWN UNIVERSITY), STEPHEN A. MAISTO(CENTER FOR INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE, SYRACUSE VAMEDICAL CENTER; DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY,SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY) The rising prevalence of anxiety resulting from the COVID-19outbreak is concerning and consequently may increase need formental health care. Therefore, the impact of COVID-19 oncurrent behavioral interventions requires exploring. Baselineanxiety and depression severity and participant engagementbetween a pre-COVID and COVID group participating in abehavioral anxiety intervention study were compared. The twogroups were similar regarding anxiety, depression, readiness tochange, and attendance, with evidence of different rates ofretention. POSTER 32 STUDENTS FOR OTHERS: CORRELATES OF ADHERENCETO COVID-19 GUIDELINES KRISTINA STEVANOVIC, RACHEL ANNUNZIATO, REBECCATUTINO, BIANCA CAMPAGNA, SARAH DUNCAN-PARK,CLAIRE DUNPHY, JULIA FLOOD, ERIC RIKLIN, MAURA MAST(FORDHAM UNIVERSITY) In the fall of 2020, colleges implemented COVID-19 precautionson their campuses. The purpose of this study was to determinecorrelates of adherence to these precautions. Participants (N=92)completed a survey assessing adherence to precautions, fear of

8

COVID, self-efficacy, conscientiousness, collectivism, socialsupport, and empathy. Students reported high levels ofadherence; factors that were significantly correlated withadherence included conscientiousness, collectivism, andempathy, indicating the importance of interpersonal factors foryoung adult health behaviors. POSTER 33 MORAL INJURY EVENTS AND HEALTHCARE PROVIDERWELL-BEING DURING COVID-19 IVY CHEN, KIARRA MACHITAR, MIGUEL MENDIETA,COLLEEN GLEASON, LUKE KEATING, ALEXANDRA SPINELLI(ST. JOHNS UNIVERSITY), INES TESTONI (UNIVERSITY OFPADUA), ELIZABETH BRONDOLO (ST. JOHNS UNIVERSITY) COVID-19 presented health care providers with multiple sourcesof work stress including higher caseloads and exposure to moralinjury given limited resources to care for patients. This studyevaluates differences in the psychological consequences ofthese two stressors. Moral injury events predicted burnout,depression, and PTSD symptoms above and beyond workloadincreases. Relations between moral injury and burnout,depression, and PTSD symptoms were mediated by alienation. POSTER 34 FACTOR ANALYSIS OF A SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OFHEALTH SCREENING TOOL CARRINGTON A BAKER (SAINT JOHN'S UNIVERSITY),EMILIA MIKURT, LUKE KEATING, ANDREW MIELE,ELIZABETH BRONDOLO (SAINT JOHNS UNIVERSITY) COVID-19-related health disparities may be due to socialdeterminants of health (SDoH). Though the SDoH screeningtools have been employed in hospital settings, more limitedresearch has evaluated the measurement structure for theseassessments in community settings. Across two studies,exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed that itemsfrom the Accountable Health Communities (AHC) Health-RelatedSocial Needs (HRSN) screening tool represent a three-factorstructure representing Economic Insecurity, Substance Use, andInterpersonal Threat. POSTER 35 ASSOCIATION BETWEEN PARENTAL MOOD FACTORS ANDCHILDREN'S NON-ACADEMIC SCREEN TIME DURINGCOVID-19. MARGARET BENDA, EMILY HIRSCH, MELANIE SILVERMAN,JILL STADTERMAN, AMY ROY (FORDHAM UNIVERSITY) Children with ADHD spent more time in front of screens fornon-academic purposes than their typically developing peers,both before and after the start of the pandemic. Parent anxietywas shown to be associated with non-academic screen time inboth children with and without ADHD. Overall, these resultshighlight the indirect impact that the pandemic has had onchildren through psychological distress of parents. POSTER 36

DID EXTROVERSION HURT ADJUSTMENT TO COVID INCOLLEGE STUDENTS? BRIANNA L. MASON, JUSTYNA M. CAGE, KIEONNAH AJONES (HARTWICK COLLEGE), URSULA ASANBORN-OVERBY (SUNY ONEONTA), WILLIAM JKOWALCZYK (HARTWICK COLLEGE) Popular media has been rife with stories presenting the lockdownas ‘good’ for introverts. But is that actually true? The presentstudy examines how extroversion impacted changes in mentalhealth, academics, and other variables, during the COVIDpandemic. Participants were 82 students from two central NewYork colleges. Extroversion was associated with more positivechange in well-being, social support, and academic motivation.This research refutes the notion that the pandemic was better forintroverts. POSTER 37 TRANS AND GENDERQUEER MILITARY SERVICEMEMBER-VETERANS: AN ACCULTURATIONPHENOMENOLOGY OF CIVILIAN REINTEGRATION JOSEPH GALLUZZO (UNIVERSITY OF DENVER; UNITEDSTATES AIR FORCE), RUTH CHU-LIEN CHAO (UNIVERSITYOF DENVER) As legislative protections and healthcare access improves fortrans service members and veterans, an understanding of theirexperiences and needs as they transition from military service tolife as a veteran is warranted. This novel, phenomenologicalexploration of this population’s military-to-civilian reintegrationsuggests a complex process based in cultural context andassociated with identity redevelopment, navigating systemicprejudice, and intra- and interpersonal empowerment.Implications include participants’ advice to their peers andrecommendations for healthcare providers.“The views expressed are those of the presenters and do notreflect the official views or policy of the Department of Defense orits Components. The voluntary, fully informed consent of thesubjects used in this research was obtained as required by 32CFR 219 and DODI 3216.02_AFI 40-402.” POSTER 38 STUDENT RACE, GENDER, NATIONALITY, AND LGBT ALLYGROUPS IN DOCTORAL PSYCHOLOGY PROGRAMS JESSICA R. GOLDSCHLAGER, CHRISTINA B. CARACHILO,JOHN C. NORCROSS (UNIVERSITY OF SCRANTON),MICHAEL A. SAYETTE (UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH) Organized psychology has recently addressed the chronicunderrepresentation of minority and marginalized students ingraduate psychology programs, but its progress remainsuncertain and unverified. A national survey of 319APA-accredited programs (96% response) demonstrated thattheir student bodies were composed of 25% racial/ethnicminority, 6% international, and 75% women. 57% of departmentsself-report offering an affinity or alliance group for LGBTstudents, and 76% offer such a group for ethnic minoritystudents.

POSTER 39 PERCEIVED DISCRIMINATION AND REPETITIVE NEGATIVETHINKING AMONG BLACK, LATINX, AND WHITE WOMEN. MILAGROS GRADOS (BROWN UNIVERSITY - MIRIAMHOSPITAL), HECTOR I. LOPEZ-VERGARA (UNIVERSITY OFRHODE ISLAND), CHRYSTAL VERGARA-LOPEZ (BROWNUNIVERSITY- MIRIAM HOSPITAL) Repetitive negative thinking (RNT) often occurs after stressful ortraumatic events. However, there is a paucity of researchexamining the association between racial discrimination andRNT. This study investigated the link between perceiveddiscrimination and repetitive negative thinking among Black,Latinx, and White women. Levels of perceived discriminationwere highest amongst Black women, followed by Latinx women,and White women. RNT was positively correlated with perceiveddiscrimination among Black women only. POSTER 40 MOTIVATIONS FOR SPOUSAL INVOLVEMENT IN APARTNER’S DIABETES MANAGEMENT GENEVA GERWITZ, KRISTIN AUGUST (RUTGERSUNIVERSITY, CAMDEN) Using cross-sectional online survey data from 148 older spouseswhose partners had type 2 diabetes, we examined potentialmotivations for involvement in a partner’s diabetes management,associations with actual diet-related involvement, and genderdifferences in these associations. Spouses were most motivatedto be involved in their partners’ diabetes management out oflove/concern/interdependence; most motivations were related toall three types of diet-related involvement. Contrary toexpectations, few gender differences emerged. POSTER 41 EVALUATING STRATEGIES FOR DISSEMINATINGINFORMATION ABOUT THE MENTAL HEALTH EFFECTS OFDISCRIMINATION MARGARITA MANZANO, ELIZABETH BRONDOLO,ELLALANDRA ARAKELOW, ALDONA CHORZEPA, LEIGHACLARKE, DAWSON HUGHES, SKYLOR LOISEAU, NATALIEMACGOWAN (ST. JOHNS UNIVERSITY) Discrimination has been consistently linked to depression.Despite evidence suggesting that minority group members wantto talk about discrimination-related stress, research suggests thattherapists are not engaging in these conversations. There arelimited psychoeducational materials available to support theseconversations, and there are limited data on their effects. Weprovide preliminary qualitative data on the interpretation andaccessibility of a new psychoeducational booklet, based on socialcognitive models of the relations of discrimination to depression. POSTER 42 AN EXAMINATION BETWEEN YOUNG MOTHERS’CONTRACEPTIVE USE, OB/GYN ACCESS, AND

HEALTHCARE BARRIERS KEHINDE BOLAJI, LAUREN C. WALLACE, SARAHMACKENZIE, DANIKA CHARLES, NICOLE VAUGHN,MEREDITH C. JONES (ROWAN UNIVERSITY) The current study seeks to explore whether, having an OB/Gynand experiencing healthcare barriers, influences the utilization ofcontraception to prevent sexual risk behaviors (SRBs).Hypotheses were fully supported after detecting a positiveassociation between having an OB/Gyn and contraceptive use aswell as an association between contraceptive use and healthcarebarriers when bootstrapping measures were performed. Ourresults highlight the significance of meeting with an OB/Gyn toimprove reproductive healthcare for young mothers. POSTER 43 INFLUENCE OF EXTERNAL FACTORS ON YOUNGMOTHERS' BREASTFEEDING CONFIDENCE SARAH MACKENZIE, LAUREN C. WALLACE, KEHINDEBOLAJI, DANIKA CHARLES, NICOLE VAUGHN, MEREDITH C.JONES (ROWAN UNIVERSITY) Young mothers face many challenges, specifically negativestigmas. Some effects of negative stigmas include feeling sociallyisolated and social abuse from peers (Wiemann, 2005). Theseeffects can potentially impact young mothers’ confidence toperform a variety of childcare skills. One skill that could besignificantly impacted by negative stigma is a mother’sconfidence to breastfeed. This study examined the relationshipbetween the influence of external factors on young mothers'breastfeeding confidence. POSTER 44 DIFFERENCES IN PARENTAL FEEDING PRACTICES BYPARENT’S CHILDHOOD WEIGHT STATUS SHANNON MARHAN, LEORA HALLER, SHANNON O'CONNOR(MONTCLAIR STATE UNIVERSITY) The current study examined differences in parental feedingpractices by parent’s childhood weight status (e.g., underweight,normal weight, overweight). Participants included 634 adultfemales with at least one child aged 6-11. Results indicated thatparents who were overweight in childhood are more likely todemonstrate higher levels of authoritarian feeding styles (e.g.,pressure to eat, restriction, monitoring) than parents who wereunderweight or a normal weight in childhood. POSTER 45 EVALUATING MECHANISMS AND MODERATORS OFRELATIONS BETWEEN DISCRIMINATION AND COREEXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS NAFISA FAISAL, KIARRA MACHITAR, IVY CHEN, COLLEENGLEASON, MIGUEL MENDIETA, BISHTA WALI, LUKEKEATING (ST. JOHNS UNIVERSITY), ALAN ROTH, GINABASELLO (JAMAICA HOSPITAL MEDICAL CENTER),ELIZABETH BRONDOLO (ST. JOHNS UNIVERSITY)

Our prior work has documented negative associations ofdiscrimination to cognitive flexibility and working memory. Thecurrent study aims to examine the role of age and depression inthese relations. We found associations of discrimination to coreexecutive functions only for older participants (>22 years).Depressive symptoms did not mediate the association ofdiscrimination to either outcome. Results suggest cognitiveeffects of discrimination may vary by age and cannot be fullyexplained by depression. POSTER 46 PARENTAL DIETING IMPACTS INPATIENT TREATMENTOUTCOMES FOR ADOLESCENTS WITH RESTRICTIVEEATING DISORDERS SARAH ANN DUCK (JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY), ANGELAGUARDA, COLLEEN SCHREYER (JOHNS HOPKINSUNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE) Parental feeding practices and disordered eating behavior arepotential risk factors for childhood eating disorders (EDs). Thisstudy measured the relationship between parental dietingbehavior and inpatient treatment outcomes for adolescents withrestrictive EDs. Parents self-reported their dieting and exercisebehaviors; clinical data were abstracted from the participants’electronic medical record. Parental dieting behaviors (currentdieting and exercise frequency) were negatively associated withtheir child’s inpatient rate of weight gain and discharge bodymass index. POSTER 47 DISCREPANCIES BETWEEN LGBTQIA+ ANDHETEROSEXUAL YOUTH PRESENTING TO A PARTIALHOSPITALIZATION PROGRAM DANIELLA GELMAN (EMMA PENDLETON BRADLEYHOSPITAL/BROWN UNIVERSITY), MOLLY HEDRICK (EMMAPENDLETON BRADLEY HOSPITAL), ELISABETH FRAZIER(EMMA PENDLETON BRADLEY HOSPITAL/WARREN ALPERTMEDICAL SCHOOL OF BROWN UNIVERSITY) Previous literature has determined mental health disparitiesbetween LGBTQIA+ and heterosexual youths. There is sparseliterature addressing LGBTQIA+ youth attending higher levels ofpsychiatric care. This study wishes to examine the discrepanciesin overall mental health functioning and specific domains ofdistress between LGBTQIA+ youth and their heterosexual peersin a partial hospitalization program (PHP). Findings determinethere are significance differences in psychological distressbetween the two groups prior to intervention at the PHP. POSTER 48 IMPACT OF RACE-RELATED MEDIA COVERAGE ONPERCEIVED DISCRIMINATION AND SYMPTOMS OFDEPRESSION ANGELIQUE PURANDA, JORDAN HILL-RUCKER, ADENIQUELISSE, ELIZABETH BRONDOLO (SAINT JOHN'S UNIVERSITY) Media presentations of race-related stories are highly prevalent.The aim of this study is to analyze how media coverage of

race-related topics affects individuals’ perceived discrimination,stereotype confirmation concerns, and symptoms of depression.The results indicate that the effects of the race-related storiesvaried depending on the race of the participants, withrace-related media being negatively associated with depressionfor Black and Latino individuals, but positively associated withstereotype confirmation concerns for White participants. POSTER 49 AMBIVALENCE ON MATERNAL IDENTITY AND ANXIETYDURING FIRST-TIME PREGNANCY SARAH A KALMENSON PINSON, LISA WALLNER SAMSTAG(LONG ISLAND UNIVERSITY) This study explored the impact of ambivalence on maternalidentity and anxiety in first-time pregnant mothers. It also testedthe role of expressive suppression on the relationship betweenambivalence and anxiety. Results indicated that higherambivalence significantly predicted lower maternal identitydevelopment. Higher ambivalence also significantly predictedhigher anxiety levels in conjunction withother factors. Expressive suppression did not moderate therelationship between ambivalence and anxiety. Clinicalimplications to support pregnant women are discussed. POSTER 50 IDENTIFYING MICROAGGRESSIONS IN THERAPY:CULTURAL HUMILITY AND COMFORT LEVELS OFTHERAPISTS KELSEY KLINGER, DOMINIQUE LUXARDO, STEPHANIEWINKELJOHN BLACK (PENN STATE HARRISBURG), JOANNADRINANE (UNIVERSITY OF UTAH) This study examined the ability of psychotherapy trainees toidentify microaggressions during therapy sessions and rate thetherapist’s cultural humility and comfort levels. Participants(N=48) watched a scripted vignette surrounding a Muslim clientand religious microaggressions. Each participant completeddemographic questionnaires and rated the vignette therapist’slevel of cultural humility and comfort on likert scales. Mostreligious participants were unable to rate the therapist as high orlow on cultural humility.

CHAIR: SYDNEY TRASK

9:30am - 9:45am CONTEXTUAL CONTROL OF CONDITIONED PAINTOLERANCE AND ENDOGENOUS ANALGESIC SYSTEMS

11

SYDNEY TRASK (PURDUE UNIVERSITY) Based on prior work demonstrating context can come to control aconditional analgesic response following pairings with an acutepainful stimulus (footshock), we tested the hypothesis that aconditional analgesic response would develop in response to aninternal visceral painful stimulus (IP injection of acetic acid). Wefound that repeated exposure to visceral pain resulted in acontext-specific pain tolerance and that this effect was dependenton endogenous opioid signaling in a sex-dependent manner. 9:50am - 10:05am DOPAMINE D1R MODULATION OF AMYGDALA ACTIVITYAND SOCIAL BEHAVIOR DURING DEVELOPMENT NICOLE FERRARA (ROSALIND FRANKLIN UNIVERSITY),WILLIAM MCMICHAEL (COLLEGE OF WOOSTER), MALLIKAPADIVAL, REGINE BUENAOBRA, AMIEL ROSENKRANZ(ROSALIND FRANKLIN UNIVERSITY) Social interaction decreases from adolescence to adulthood, andthis behavioral transition coincides with cortical-amygdalamaturation. The dopaminergic system matures throughoutadolescence and modulates behavior and cortical-amygdalacircuitry, and may therefore alter social behavior throughmodulation of cortical-amygdala pathways. We found dopamineD1R activation increases social interaction in adolescents but notadults. D1R agonism also increased amygdala activity andcortically-evoked inhibition of amygdala across ages, suggestingD1Rs can differentially influence social behavior by modulatingcortical-amygdala circuitry. 10:10am - 10:25am POSTRHINAL CORTEX CONTRIBUTIONS TO THERETRIEVAL OF AUDITORY FEAR CONDITIONING. TRAVIS TODD (UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT), NICOLEDEANGELI (DARTMOUTH COLLEGE) The postrhinal cortex is important for contextual learning andmemory. Here we investigated its role in the retrieval of auditoryfear conditioning. Inactivation of the postrhinal during retrievaltesting impaired freezing to both extinguished andnon-extinguished auditory fear cues. 10:30am - 10:45am RETROSPLENIAL CORTEX INACTIVATION DURINGRETRIEVAL, BUT NOT ENCODING, IMPAIRS REMOTELYACQUIRED HAN YIN CHENG (UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT), DANIELLEFOURNIER (FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY),TRAVIS TODD (UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT) The retrosplenial cortex (RSC) may be differentially involved inthe retrieval of fear memories depending on the age of thememory. However, previous work demonstrating such an effectuses permanent lesion which is temporally non-specific and mayaffect multiple memory processes. Here we temporallyinactivated RSC either during encoding or retrieval of a recent

and remote delayed auditory cue and showed that RSCinactivation during retrieval, but not encoding, impaired remotebut not recent memories.



COGNITIVE POSTERSFriday, March 4, 2022

9:30am-10:50am

POSTER 1 METACOGNITIVE EFFECTS ASSOCIATED WITHSMARTPHONE USE AND ADDICTION PETER FROST, EMILY WISE, KAYLA SANBORN, MCKAYLAHUTCHINS (SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE UNIVERSITY) This study examined the ability of participants to judge the extentto which they use their smartphone. Estimates of smartphoneuse was positively correlated with actual use of some specificapps, particularly texting/messaging and use of the internet. Incontrast, participants overestimated time spent using thesmartphone for social media. Metacognitive accuracy was alsoassociated with poor judgment of dependence on smartphonesas indicated by physiological measures. POSTER 2 THE EFFECTS OF MATERNAL MALTREATMENT ON INFANTRESPONSE TO TRAUMA SYLVIE WEINSTEIN, ALISA LEE (NEW YORK UNIVERSITY),REGINA SULLIVAN (NEW YORK UNIVERSITY LANGONE) Animal models of scarcity adversity allow for the research ofinfant neurobiological behaviors leading to pathologies in laterlife. This model of early life adversity provides the rat motherswith either insufficient bedding or sufficient bedding to raise theirpups, influencing the mothers to either maltreat and roughlyhandle her pups. Results show that although the mother isstressed and occasionally hurts her pups, she continues toengage in successful rearing behavior. POSTER 3 EPISODIC MEMORY ADVANTAGE IN THEMOVEMENT-INDUCED SELF-REFERENCE EFFECT: THEROLE OF AGENCY SERGE ONYPER, MARK OAKES (ST. LAWRENCEUNIVERSITY) Memory is enhanced for information encoded via movementrelative to oneself as opposed to a stranger. Can agency –perceived voluntary control over external events – explain thismovement-induced self-reference effect? Participants selectedtrait adjectives to characterize digital avatars, subsequentlymoving traits they did or did not select toward their name, astranger’s name, or an animal name. Self-referential processing

12

enhanced item and source recognition. Agency, however, did notfacilitate memory beyond the self-referential advantage. POSTER 4 BILINGUALISM AND ATTENTIONAL CONTROL: IS THESOUND OF A FOREIGN LANGUAGE DISTRACTING? KIMBERLY FAIRCHILD, LASMA PADEDZE (MANHATTANCOLLEGE) This study examined how bilinguals and monolinguals respond tothe sound of a familiar and foreign languages while completing acombined intelligence test. While no significant main effect orinteractions were found, the data revealed interesting trends inline with hypothesis that bilingual individuals may have moreexecutive control. Due to numerous limitations, better researchdesign should be considered to further examine the benefits ofbilingualism. POSTER 5 MEMORY SUPPRESSION: THE IMPORTANCE OF BASELINELEARNING FOR THE THINK/NO-THINK TASK CURTIS ROGERS (COLLEGE OF WILLIAM AND MARY) This study investigated the optimal baseline for word-pairs learntin the Think/No-Think paradigm. The primary goals were findingthe effect that altering learning-baseline has onsuppression-induced forgetting (SIF) and whether the TNTparadigm could be replicated in an online format. It was foundthat the TNT paradigm was replicated in the online format andthe 50% learning-baseline produced a more significant SIF effectwith a lower data exclusion rate compared to the 75%learning-baseline. POSTER 6 IMPACT OF GOAL ORIENTATIONS ON LAG EFFECTS FORGERMAN ACQUISITION AND RETENTION LISA GRIMM, KELLY LENNON, DAVID COHN, BRANDONHOANG, EVAN LOPEZ, EMILY ALBERT, JOSE ESTEVEZ,NICK LOCASSIO (THE COLLEGE OF NEW JERSEY) We tested the impact of lag length and goal orientation using aspacing effect paradigm. Our participants completed a Germanvocabulary acquisition task and spaced retention tasks. Wemeasured goal orientation and goal attainment strategies. Wefound short lags improved acquisition while long lags improvedretention. Mastery avoidance negatively impacted retention andacquisition of long lag items, while performance avoidance had anegative effect on learning. POSTER 7 INTELLECTUAL HUMILITY: CONNECTIONS TO REASONING,COGNITIVE ATTITUDES, AND IRRATIONAL BELIEFS SYDNEY PETRASIC, LOU MANZA, MARGARET MAILEY,JORDAN STUM, MOLLY FARON, SYDNEY FITZGERALD,ASHLEY DOTEY (LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE)

Diversified connections between intellectual humilitysub-elements and reasoning, beliefs in pseudoscience andconspiracies, and personality traits were discovered. BeingOVERCONFIDENT IN ONE’S INTELLECT was only correlatedwith believing in conspiracies, and BEING UNWILLING TOREVISE OPINIONS was only correlated with supportingpseudoscience as real. Further, having an INDEPENDENCE OFINTELLECT AND EGO was only associated with effective logicalreasoning, and RESPECT FOR OTHERS’ VIEWS onlycorrelated with successfully regulating cognitive processes. POSTER 8 CONTRASTING INTERSPERSED ASSOCIATIVEINTERFERENCE WITH PROACTIVE AND RETROACTIVEINTERFERENCE JOVIN HUANG, JARED SILVERSTEIN, SAMUEL WOLTAG(STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK AT BINGHAMTON),JAMES WITNAUER (STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK ATBROCKPORT), JÉRÉMIE JOZEFOWIEZ (UNIVERSITÉ DELILLE), RALPH MILLER (STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORKAT BINGHAMTON) Proactive and retroactive associative outcome interference (PI;RI) have been extensively examined. Using Allan et al.’s rapidtrial streaming procedure with humans, we compared‘interspersed interference’ (II) to PI&RI; in a situation with typicalprocedural differences between PI, RI (& II) studies eliminated.Testing immediately after training, recency considerationspredicted RI > II > PI; however, when target training was apositive contingency, we observed II > PI = RI. POSTER 9 DOES FAMILIARITY PROVIDE A SHORT-CUT TOSELECTION OF INFORMATION FROM WORKING MEMORY? CHEN TIFERET-DWECK (QUEENS COLLEGE CUNY),KERSTIN UNGER (QUEENS COLLEGE CITY UNIVERSITY OFNEW YORK) Output gating is a mechanism that controls which subset of thecurrently maintained working memory (WM) representations canexert an influence over behavior. Surprisingly, previous studieshave shown that selectively gating one item takes more time thanglobally output gating all WM representations. Here we show thatdifferences in item familiarity can partly, but not fully, explain thegreater behavioral cost of selective relative to global outputgating. POSTER 10 HORIZONTAL SYMMETRY PREDICTS PERCEIVED BEAUTYOF RANDOM TEXTURE FRIEZE PATTERNS JAY FRIEDENBERG, GINA LAURIA, KAITLYN HENNIG,ISABEL GARDNER (MANHATTAN COLLEGE) Fifty-one undergraduates rated the perceived beauty of sevenfrieze patterns. The friezes were made of random textureelements at different sizes. A two-way analysis of varianceshowed that observers preferred friezes with horizontal symmetrymore than those containing translation, reflection, or glide

13

reflection. They also preferred friezes with larger textureelements. Both horizontal mirrors and large element size wasfound to enhance the perceptual salience of the symmetrictransformations, increasing their aesthetic value. POSTER 11 RETRIEVAL PRACTICE ENHANCES MEMORIES OF THEFUTURE JOHN SCHWOEBEL, JULIA YUDCHITS, GABRIELLEDEROCHER (UTICA COLLEGE) Recent findings suggest that episodic future thinking depends onepisodic memory. We examined whether retrieval practiceenhances the recall of memories formed during an episodicfuture thinking task. Each participant imagined and planned afuture camping trip and then either practiced retrieving their planor reread their plan. Retrieval practice enhanced recall. Thisfinding may have important implications for facilitating planexecution, goal achievement, and well-being. POSTER 12 NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE OF EXECUTIVEFUNCTIONS IN AUTISM AND SCHIZOPHRENIA: ACOMPARATIVE STUDY JO A. YON-HERNÁNDEZ, DOMINIKA Z. WOJCIK (UNIVERSITYOF SALAMANCA - INSTITUTO UNIVERSITARIO DEINTEGRACIÓN EN LA COMUNIDAD (INICO)), LAURAGARCÍA-GARCÍA (ZAMORA HOSPITAL (COMPLEJOASISTENCIAL DE ZAMORA)), MARÍA MAGÁN-MAGANTO,RICARDO CANAL-BEDIA (UNIVERSITY OF SALAMANCA -INSTITUTO UNIVERSITARIO DE INTEGRACIÓN EN LACOMUNIDAD (INICO)), MANUEL FRANCO-MARTÍN (ZAMORAHOSPITAL (COMPLEJO ASISTENCIAL DE ZAMORA)) Our study compared the neuropsychological profiles of peoplewith autism and schizophrenia using Miyake and Friedman’stask-based approach, which taps Inhibition, Updating andShifting components of Executive Functions (EFs). Impairmentson Inhibition and Shifting were found in both disorders, whileUpdating deficits were only detected in schizophrenia. Theself-paced task format led to some performance improvementsbut in schizophrenia only. Differentiating spared and impairedEFs is important for tailoring effective treatments for eachdisorder. POSTER 13 EFFECTS OF DISASTERS ON VALUES AND DECISIONS:JUDGMENT IN THE TIME OF COVID DANA CHESNEY, MIRANDA LEVY, MARGARITA MANZANO,ELLALANDRA ARAKELOW (ST. JOHN'S UNIVERSITY) Västfjäll et al. (2014) found that invoking the memory of disastersaffects people’s value-judgements and propensity for risk-takingbehaviors. Here we test if such changes in judgements are alsoseen when invoking an ongoing disaster: the COVID-19pandemic. Results from 327 participants randomly assigned toCovid-invocation and Control conditions collected11/2020-10/2021 find no differences in judgments. We will

continue data collection to learn if differences emerge as thecrisis is resolved. POSTER 14 HOW NEGATIVE EMOJI CHANGE THE TONE OF TEXTMESSAGES NICKLAS C. PHILLIPS, ALLISON M. ARP, SRI SIDDHI N.UPADHYAY (JAMES MADISON UNIVERSITY), DANIELLE N.GUNRAJ (NO AFFILIATION), EMILY BRAYTON, LAURENLOVE, OLIVIA NEDDERMEYER, COURTNEY WEST,BRIGHTON WILSON (JAMES MADISON UNIVERSITY) Texts were paired with either strong or mild positive or negativeemoji. Positive texts paired with strong positive emoji were ratedsimilarly to the same texts paired with mild positive emoji.However, negative texts paired with strong negative emoji wererated much more negatively than the same texts paired with mildnegative emoji. Overall, the results indicate that negative emojicarry nuanced meaning and allow for more subtlety in conveyingemotion. POSTER 15 LEAVE ME BE! STRATEGY INSTRUCTION HARMS HIGHSPATIAL PROBLEM SOLVING NIA SCARBORO, NAHAL HEYDARI, HUI WEN ZHU, ALLISONJAEGER (ST JOHN'S UNIVERSITY) To understand the role of strategy instruction on spatial problemsolving, we examined the spatial performance of participantswhen provided an analytic strategy or a visualization strategy tosolve a paper folding task. Participants were divided into Low,Medium, High spatial skill groups. We found that performance ofLow and Medium spatial skill groups was not affected by strategyinstruction, but the High spatial skill group showed poorerperformance when given the analytic strategy. POSTER 16 CORTICO-STRIATAL MECHANISMS OF ASSOCIATIVEMEMORY PERFORMANCE FEEDBACK PROCESSING INMULTIPLE SCLEROSIS CHRISTOPHER CAGNA (RUTGERS UNIVERSITY - NEWARK),AHMET CECELI (ICAHN SCHOOL OF MEDICINE, THE MOUNTSINAI HOSPITAL), JOSHUA SANDRY (MONTCLAIR STATEUNIVERSITY), JAMIL BHANJI, ELIZABETH TRICOMI(RUTGERS UNIVERSITY - NEWARK), EKATERINADOBRYAKOVA (CENTER FOR TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURYRESEARCH, KESSLER FOUNDATION) The striatum facilitates performance-related feedback processingin neurotypical (NT) individuals. Cognitive fatigue impacts thestriatum in multiple sclerosis (MS). We investigatedneurobehavioral mechanisms of feedback processing in MS, andinfluences of fatigue, during a memory task. Despite reportingmore fatigue, MS participants performed comparably to NTs.While both groups engaged the striatum during feedbackprocessing, MS participants recruited additional striato-temporalconnections, suggesting people with MS may engage alternativeneuro-mechanisms to buffer fatigue and maintain performance.

POSTER 17 LEARNING FROM ERRORS IN GEOSCIENCE DIAGRAMS CYNTHIA JOHNSON, NAHAL HEYDARI, SAMUEL JACKSON,KAY NIKIFOROVA, ALLISON JAEGER (SAINT JOHN'SUNIVERSITY) Science learning is challenging because it requirescomprehending complex systems and diagrams. In math,research has found that explaining incorrect worked examples(IWE) can support learning (Booth et al., 2013). IWEs have alsobeen shown to support 3D diagrams understanding (Jaeger etal., 2020). This study explored the effectiveness of explainingerrors in conceptual diagrams for supporting text comprehensionand demonstrated that explaining errors in incorrect diagramssupported comprehension compared to a control condition. POSTER 18 DOES STRESS NEGATE THE EFFECTS OF REPEATEDTESTING ON EYEWITNESS MEMORY? AMANDA CAPRIGLIONE, STEFANI MORGAN, MARIANNELLOYD (SETON HALL UNIVERSITY) Stress may affect memory in unexpected ways. In the context ofeyewitness memory, witnesses are frequently asked to recall thedetails of an event. Research has consistently demonstrated thatthis act of retrieval can leave memory susceptible to distortion.Studies examining this effect typically exclude the experience ofstress. The current study explored the interaction between stressand repeated testing on eyewitness memory performance.Repeated testing decreased accuracy and stress did noteliminate the effect. POSTER 19 THE EFFECTS OF SURGICAL MASKS ON FACEPERCEPTION, MEMORY, AND IMPRESSION FORMATION ALEXIS DIMAURO, ALEXANDRIA PORCELLI, SARINAPETERS, ERICA KOSSMAN, KIMERY LEVERING (MARISTCOLLEGE) The current study explores the effect of masks on faceperception and memory. Participants viewed masked orunmasked faces and judged which of six expressions was beingdisplayed. Participants were later given a recognition test(masked or unmasked) with neutral faces and answeredquestions about personality traits. We found that masks affectedidentification of facial expressions and in some cases interferedwith recognition. No impact of expression misperception on laterpersonality judgments was found. POSTER 20 RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MENTAL ROTATION ANDPERSPECTIVE TAKING IN CHILDREN (4-9 YEARS OLD) ARIELLE HERSHKOVICH, DARIA LASC, JULIA HAUSS,HAFSA ABID, SAMANTHA SALERNITANO, SONIA CONDE,SARAH SHAH, RACHEL FREEMAN, KAITLYNN BOHR, AMY

ADICKES, JESSICA CHARLES, NIMA PATEL, MARYA NEMEH,JESUJOBA OLANREWAJU, STEFAN ZIVANOVIC, RACHELLEGORCZYNSKI, CHRISTOPHER SIMMEN, PEARL CHRISTINEMCGEE, NARDIN YACOUB, YINGYING (JENNIFER) YANG(MONTCLAIR STATE UNIVERSITY) Mental rotation involves imagining rotating and array whilekeeping oneself constant, and perspective taking involvesimagining rotating oneself while keeping the array constant. Adultresearch has found that the two tasks are different cognitiveprocesses yet highly correlated. It is unclear if these abilitiesdevelop together or support one another. In this study, weexamined the relationship between the two abilities in childrenages 4-9 years old, and differences in testing modality (in-personvs. online). POSTER 21 INSENSITIVITY TO SAMPLE SIZE IN SIMULATED ONLINESHOPPING JAMES WITNAUER, LORI FORZANO, LARRY WALLNAU(SUNY BROCKPORT) Insensitivity to sample size (Tversky & Kahneman 1974) extendsto a real-world situation: reviews of products sold by an onlineretailer. Mean rating (stars) and number of reviews for simulatedAmazon products were manipulated. Ratings of willingness topurchase and suggested prices were affected by the star ratingbut were insensitive to the sample size on which star ratingswere based but ratings of the helpfulness of the reviews weresensitive to sample size. POSTER 22 PANDEMIC DREAMS ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO PRIMING ANDUNRELATED TO COVID-19 EXPOSURE NICHOLAS INCELLI (MILLERSVILLE UNIVERSITY OFPENNSYLVANIA), SHAWN GALLAGHER (MILLERSVILLEUNIVERSITY) Online surveys that ask people to report their dreams have ledsome researchers to bemoan an epidemic of COVID-19pandemic nightmares. These studies typically recruitedparticipants from sensationalistic pandemic and dream-themedwebsites that likely over-sample those with dramatic dreams toreport. We surveyed college students about their dreams andmanipulated the sensationalistic nature of the survey questions.Responses showed that pandemic dreams were unrelated toCOVID-19 exposure and susceptible to the priming manipulation. POSTER 23 THE EFFECT OF VISUAL FIELD AND TRANSLIMINALITY ONCOMMON ONSET MASKING MICAH RUSSELL, STEVEN HAASE (SHIPPENSBURGUNIVERSITY), GARY FISK (GEORGIA SOUTHWESTERNSTATE UNIVERSITY) Common Onset Masking impacts our ability to perceive adistractor surrounded target when the display is replaced by thedistractors. We explored this further by including an analysis of

15

visual field and participant transliminality (n = 32). Bothtransliminality (e.g., At the present time, I am very good atmake-believe and imagining) and visual field had minor impacts,but we did find strong target-distractor Stroop-like interferenceeffects (e.g., partial eta-squared = .47 for target accuracy). POSTER 24 THE EFFECTS OF EMOTIONALLY-LADEN MUSIC ONMEMORY RECALL OF SCENES KALI REBUCK, JADEN CARPER, LAUREN MASSARELLA,XIOMARA SERRANO, SAMUEL DAY (SUSQUEHANNAUNIVERSITY) Previous research has shown that music-induced mood caninfluence memory, with participants being more likely toremember emotionally-congruent content. We extend thesefindings to more naturalistic stimuli by examining memory fordetails in complex images of human interactions. Interestingly,the negative and neutral mood groups in our study showed asimilar bias for reporting negatively valenced memories, while thepositive mood group recalled significantly more positive contentthan the other two. POSTER 25 A STUDY OF BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS: DIVIDEDATTENTION AND TASK ON RECOGNITION MEMORY MANPREET RAI, TRAN NGUYEN (D'YOUVILLE COLLEGE) This study investigated the effectiveness of either writing ortyping under high or low divided attention on short-termrecognition memory of Bible passage. Twenty-eight participantsof varying levels of biblical knowledge completed a 10-questionmemory test following the 2 (divided attention: low vs. high) X 2(tasks: typing vs. writing) between-groups design. Although nokey main effects or interactions were found, they wereapproaching significance and interacted with age. Implicationsare discussed. POSTER 26 HOW CAFFEINE INTAKE AND PERCEIVED STRESS AFFECTSENSORY PERCEPTION MARK CAPICHANA, RYAN DUNLAP, DEBBIE PAULUS,AMANDA REINKE, SAMUEL DAY (SUSQUEHANNAUNIVERSITY) The current study examines the effects of caffeine intake andstress on auditory and visual hallucinations in an undergraduatepopulation. We provide novel evidence for spontaneous visualhallucinations within visual noise, and find that these effectsfollow similar but weaker patterns as the well-studied auditoryhallucinations (the “White Christmas” effect). Overall, reports ofauditory and visual hallucinations are much higher underhigh-stress, high-caffeine conditions. POSTER 27 COGNITIVE PREDICTORS OF SUBSTANCE USE AND RISKPERCEPTION DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

KATHERINE DESROSIERS, JACK GOEMBEL, SYDNEYVOELBEL, AUDREY WEIL (WASHINGTON COLLEGE) We surveyed 494 participants to investigate how cognitivereflectiveness, impulsivity, and scientific literacy predictsubstance use and perceived risk of COVID-19 complicationsdue to smoking. Participants who were more scientifically literatehad higher risk perceptions of smoking-related COVID-19complications. Those who estimated higher risk were also morelikely to decrease nicotine, alcohol, and marijuana use during thepandemic. More scientifically literate participants decreasednicotine use, while more reflective participants decreasedmarijuana use. POSTER 28 THE ROLE OF VISUO-SPATIAL CONSTRUCTION ABILITIESIN RAVEN’S MATRICES TEST JULIA HAUSS, ARIELLE HERSHKOVICH, DARIA LASC,SADAF KHAWAR, NARDIN YACOUB, RACHEL FREEMAN,SONIA CONDE SANTIAGO, NIMA PATEL, YINGYING(JENNIFER) YANG (MONTCLAIR STATE UNIVERSITY) The Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence(WPPSI-IV) subtest Block Design and Raven’s 2 ProgressiveMatrices Clinical Edition may have similar underlyingpsychological processes. We examine this and if one task iseasier than the other. We tested a sample of 132 typically andatypically developing individuals. Finding that the tasks havecommonalities beyond general abilities, visuospatialconstructions are associated. We did not find one tasksignificantly easier; we did find individual variation. POSTER 29 SEMANTIC NETWORK INVESTIGATION INTO THE ROLE OFWORKING MEMORY ON WORD RETRIEVAL SOPHIA LALL, SABRINA LOPEZ, JOSHUA SANDRY(MONTCLAIR STATE UNIVERSITY) This primary aim of this investigation was to apply graph theoryto examine semantic network structural differences betweenindividuals with high vs low working memory capacity (WMC).Participants with high WMC had lower average shortest pathlength, higher clustering coefficient, and lower modularity incontrast to participants with low WMC. These patterns suggestindividual differences in WMC are at least partially due to theorganization of semantic long-term memory. POSTER 30 SEMANTIC NETWORK INVESTIGATION INTO THE ROLE OFWORKING MEMORY ON WORD RETRIEVAL SOPHIA LALL, SABRINA LOPEZ, JOSHUA SANDRY(MONTCLAIR STATE UNIVERSITY) This primary aim of this investigation was to apply graph theoryto examine semantic network structural differences betweenindividuals with high vs low working memory capacity (WMC).Participants with high WMC had lower average shortest path

16

length, higher clustering coefficient, and lower modularity incontrast to participants with low WMC. These patterns suggestindividual differences in WMC are at least partially due to theorganization of semantic long-term memory. POSTER 31 INTELLECTUAL QUOTIENT AND EXECUTIVE FUNCTION INAUTISM AND SCHIZOPHRENIA: MODERATOR ORPREDICTOR? MARIA MAGAN-MAGANTO, JO A YON-HERNÁNDEZ,DOMINIKA Z WOJCIK (UNIVERSITY OF SALAMANCA –INFOAUTISMO – INSTITUTO UNIVERSITARIO DEINTEGRACIÓN EN LA COMUNIDAD (INICO).), LAURAGARCÍA-GARCÍA (ZAMORA HOSPITAL (COMPLEJOASISTENCIAL DE ZAMORA)), RICARDO CANAL-BEDIA(UNIVERSITY OF SALAMANCA – INFOAUTISMO – INSTITUTOUNIVERSITARIO DE INTEGRACIÓN EN LA COMUNIDAD(INICO).), MANUEL FRANCO-MARTÍN (ZAMORA HOSPITAL(COMPLEJO ASISTENCIAL DE ZAMORA)) This study looked at the role of IQ in Executive functions (EFs) inpeople with autism, schizophrenia and controls. The autismgroup obtained significant correlations between IQ and generalperformance scores in Inhibition, Updating and Shifting. Thegroup with schizophrenia showed a correlation between IQ andShifting EF only. The differences of treating IQ as a moderator oras a separate non-linear factor were discussed, with focus onpractical implications. POSTER 32 SALIENCY DETERMINES EFFICIENCY OF SEARCH IN ATHREE-DIMENSIONAL SEARCH TASK THOMAS GHIRARDELLI, CHRISTINE NGUYEN, OLIVIA ROY,EMILY ROSS, JOSH LICHTI, CLAUDINE SCHWARTZ(GOUCHER COLLEGE) We developed a 3-D visual search task requiring participants toretrieve a LEGO target that was larger than the distractors fromamong a set of LEGOs randomly distributed on a tabletop. Whenthe size difference was salient, retrieval time (RT) was unaffectedby set size, but when it was less salient, we saw a significantincrease in RT consistent with results from 2-D search tasks. POSTER 33 SPYING ON OTHERS' TEXTS DIVIDES ATTENTION ANDIMPAIRS PERFORMANCE CAROLINE GHEEN, SCHYLER PETERSON, TIMOTHYSCHOENFELD (BELMONT UNIVERSITY) Research suggests higher levels of fear-of-missing-out (FOMO),distractibility, and cognitive absorption predict a want to seekothers’ personal information, especially if this information isattention-grabbing, and distracting information could affectattention performance in real time. Participants were told to payattention to a story-telling video with seemingly accidental textmessages communicating juicy or mundane content popping up.Results showed participants higher in FOMO alone predictedfixation on juicy information and distracted attention.

POSTER 34 SLEEP DISTURBANCE, MOOD STATE, AND COGNITIVEPERFORMANCE: THE MAINE-SYRACUSE LONGITUDINALSTUDY SAMANTHA SUDOL, MICHAEL ROBBINS (UNIVERSITY OFMAINE) Sleep plays an important role in one’s daily functioning and anegative impact has been shown for those who have sustainedlong periods of wakefulness. In this study, relationships amongsleep disturbance, positive and negative emotion, and cognitiveperformance are examined using data from the Maine-SyracuseLongitudinal Study (MSLS) archive. Although higher reportedsleep disturbance is associated with more symptoms ofdepression and anxiety and lower positive emotion, noassociations with cognitive performance were observed. POSTER 35 TASK RELEVANT EMBODIED COGNITIVE LEARNINGEXERCISE IMPROVES MENTAL ROTATION SKILL ASHLEY GREEN (WESTERN CONNECTICUT STATEUNIVERSITY), MIKHAELA MCFARLIN (UNIVERSITY ATALBANY), JESSICA PLOUFFE (UNIVERSITY OF HARTFORD),MADISYN MAZIK, BERNARD GEE (WESTERN CONNECTICUTSTATE UNIVERSITY) Mental rotation is tied to everyday tasks, such as navigating andunderstanding our physical environment. In our aim to enhancethis important cognitive skill, we developed a novel exerciseincorporating an embodied cognition approach. Participantscompleted customized motor training prior to a mental rotationtest. The single exposure to a brief, highly task-relevantembodied exercise was sufficient in immediately improvingmental rotation performance compared to the control group. Thismethod may be applied in education. POSTER 36 INVESTIGATING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SPEECHERRORS AND INHIBITION SARAH MARSHALL, JILL WARKER (UNIVERSITY OFSCRANTON), YINGXUE TIAN, SIMON FISCHER-BAUM (RICEUNIVERSITY) Speech is the combination of phonemes to create words. Errorsin speech can be thought of as a failure to inhibit oneself fromproducing an incorrect word or phoneme. We tested therelationship between speech error production and inhibition. Wepredicted that flanker task performance would be correlated withthe tendency to produce speech errors in a tongue twister taskand the tendency to create nonwords in speech errors in atongue twister task. POSTER 37 MEMORIES OF THE BOSTON MARATHON BOMBINGAMONG THOSE WHO WERE CLOSE BY

17

MICHELLE D. LEICHTMAN, NIKOLAY DIMITROV, JOLIE B.WORMWOOD (UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE) Forty-three adults physically exposed to the 2013 BostonMarathon Bombings were assessed for their flashbulb memoriesof the event. Participants’ responses to both affective andnarrative prompts were collected at three time points after theevent, allowing for an assessment of consistency for bothsubjective and objective qualities (e.g., details) of memories. Thefindings suggest a positive bi-directional relationship betweenaffective and narrative consistency in flashbulb memories overtime. POSTER 38 TECHNOLOGY-ENHANCED INTERVENTIONS’EFFECTIVENESS ON COGNITIVE FUNCTION IN ADULTSWITH ABI: SYSTEMATIC REVIEW NOGA KATZ, CHLOE ORELLANA, ZANE SICADSICAD,KATHERINE TARAZONA, GERALD VOELBEL (NEW YORKUNIVERSITY) Acquired brain injuries (ABI) cause cognitive and functionaldeficits. The impact of technology-enhanced cognitiverehabilitation methods was explored. Objective: This systematicreview evaluates the effectiveness of such interventions oneveryday cognition and function of adults with ABIs. Method: Aliterature search assessed interventions in four categories:processing speed, memory, executive function, and attention.Results: Cognitive and functional outcomes significantlyimproved post-training. Conclusion: Evidence emerged ofimprovement of this population’s cognition and function throughtechnology-enhanced interventions. POSTER 39 CAN GRIT HELP IN THE HERE AND NOW? GRIT INEVERYDAY COGNITION CASSANDRA P. BODNER, NICOLE M. WHITE, CARLYRUPPERT, JESSICA I. FLECK (STOCKTON UNIVERSITY) Although increased grit has been associated with long-termacademic and professional achievements, less is known aboutthe importance of grit in daily life. Our research exploredgrit-related differences in performance on Sternberg’s workingmemory task. We found participants with higher scores on theperseverance-of-effort grit subcomponent had longer completiontimes for correct Sternberg trials and trended toward higheraccuracy rates as trial difficulty increased. Thus, being grittycontributes to performance differences in daily cognition. POSTER 40 GENDER DIFFERENCES IN INTERPRETING EMOTIONALCONTENT OF TEXT MESSAGES ALEXANDRIA GUZMAN, KIMBERLY CRAIG, EMMA LENT,MADISYN DINELLO (UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAVEN) Communicating via text message mimics face-to-face dialogue inits back and forth style. However, it lacks non-verbal cues ofemotion. Punctuation can convey emotional content in texts.

There are gender differences in non-verbal communication ofemotions, that may extend to texting. Participants read short textexchanges and rated the text response for sincerity. Preliminaryresults suggest that overall, men perceived the texter as beingmore sincere than women, regardless of the presence ofpunctuation. POSTER 41 FUNCTIONAL PROSODY IN PEOPLE WITH AUTISMSPECTRUM DISORDER: A META-ANALYSIS STEN KNUTSEN, KARIN STROMSWOLD (RUTGERSUNIVERSITY - NEW BRUNSWICK) There are contradictory findings as to the type and degree ofprosodic functional impairment in people with ASD whencompared to people who are NT (see Loveall et al., 2020). Theresults of our literature meta-analysis clearly demonstrate that,overall, people with ASD are impaired in global prosodic functionwhen compared to NT, with their impairment being somewhatmore pronounced in comprehension than production. POSTER 42 PINK IS SWEETEST: CROSS-MODAL CORRESPONDENCESBETWEEN COLOR AND TASTE THOMAS DANIEL, NATHAN BURNS (WESTFIELD STATEUNIVERSITY) Prior research has shown implicit associations between tastesand color (e.g., sweet foods are judged “more sweet” whenpresented in pink, and “less sweet” when it is presented in blue). This study examined how participants perceived basic tastes(e.g. sweet, bitter) presented within colored drinkware. Confirming and extending previous findings, we observed thatdrinkware color differentially affects perceived intensity of thetaste, even when participants taste a colorless liquid. POSTER 43 CAN RACE SERVE AS A CONTEXT IN CONTEXT-DRIVENATTENTIONAL CONTROL? THOMAS HUTCHEON, MARCO CALIANDRO, GLORIATUCKER, MINGXI WANG, IVY WU (BARD COLLEGE) Context-driven attentional control refers to a fast and flexible formof attention that varies as a function of experience. Previousstudies have found that social categories, including gender, serveas a context for this form of control. Here we test whether racecan serve as such a context. We find that participants use raceinformation to organization information in the task, but race doesnot serve as a context for control. POSTER 44 NEURO-EXERGAMING FOR YOUTH ON THE AUTISMSPECTRUM: FEASIBILITY PILOT CASE USING IRELEE FERGUSON (UNION COLLEGE), JODIE COHEN,VALERIE NEEDHAM (), TOBI SAULNIER, CAYANDERSON-HANLEY (UNDEFINED)

One study reported benefits of exergaming to executive functionand repetitive behaviors in youth with ASD after a single-bout ofthe interactive Physical and Cognitive Exercise System(iPACES; Anderson-Hanley, Tureck, & Schneiderman,2011). This pilot study examined the feasibility of iPACESfor in-home use and remote assessment by a youth with ASDduring the COVID pandemic. Information was gathered regardingusability of the equipment and game, that will aid in refinement ofneuro-exergames for youth. POSTER 45 DO DOGS KNOW "MORE" OR "LESS"? CHRISTY FESSLER, MARCUS LOMBARDO (NAZARETHCOLLEGE) Can dogs tell the difference between “more” and “less”? Do theyhave the ability to make decisions based on quantity? Whilehumans clearly demonstrate the ability to estimate magnitude, isit less clear whether non-human animals do as well. Thepurpose of this study is to answer the question of how effectivenumerical estimation is in canines, if it exists at all. POSTER 46 INVESTIGATING THE EFFECTS OF AGE ANDTECHNOLOGICAL EXPERIENCE ON DIGITAL READINGPERFORMANCE AUBREY SAHOURIA, EMILY NEWBOROUGH, HALEY ENOS,GRACIE OUELLETTE, JENNIFER STIEGLER-BALFOUR(UNIVERSITY OF NEW ENGLAND) Must you be a digital native to read on a screen? Digital readinghas been adopted by younger and older adults alike, warrantingresearch to determine which factors facilitate their ability toperform across reading mediums. This study examined age,computer experience, technophobia, and reading skill aspredictors of reading comprehension across paper and digitalmediums between older and younger adults. POSTER 47 MIND OVER MATTER? IMPERFECT PERCEPTION OF PITCHMANIPULATION IN MUSIC-DEPENDENT MEMORY HADLEY PARUM, JUSTIN HULBERT (BARD COLLEGE) How humans assess the perceptual similarity between musicalexamples is a highly complex, frequently employed, poorlyunderstood skill. This study employed context-dependentmemory to test the implicit perceptual similarity of sounds heardwhile learning and being tested on English words. Memory wasn’taffected by whether the sounds present during the test weredifferent from those heard during learning. However, memorywas greater when listeners reported, even incorrectly, the soundsbeing the same at both timepoints. POSTER 48 MIND-WANDERING AND COGNITIVE LOAD EFFECTS ONWORKING MEMORY PERFORMANCE ACROSS

EXPERIMENTAL CONTEXTS KELLY COTTON (GRADUATE CENTER, CITY UNIVERSITY OFNEW YORK), JOSHUA SANDRY (MONTCLAIR STATEUNIVERSITY), TIMOTHY RICKER (UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHDAKOTA) A distracting environment may cause task disengagement andsusceptibility to cognitive load, a measure of secondary taskdisruption in working memory. The present study investigatedeffects of mind-wandering and cognitive load in online andlaboratory working memory tasks. Participants completed achange detection task with a concurrent secondary task thatvaried cognitive load. After each trial, we asked participantsabout mind-wandering. We correlate mind-wandering rates withperformance in each cognitive load condition and acrosscontexts. POSTER 49 YOUR GIRL PROBLEMS ARE ABOUT TO GET WORSE: SEXDIFFERENCES IN ALZHEIMER’S JILLIAN GRAHAM, SONDOS EL-HULU, MICHAEL OLIVER(BELMONT UNIVERSITY) Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder causingprogressive declines in cognition, has a higher incidence rate inwomen. To investigate these disparities in cognitively normalindividuals, data were extracted from the ADNI database.Females had less retention on tau PET and greater cognitioncompared to males. However, females with pathology consistentwith AD experienced greater cognitive decline, and increasedretention on tau PET. Findings suggest women are moresusceptible to AD-related pathological and cognitive changes. POSTER 50 ARE YOUR INCREASING STUDENT LOANS MAKING YOULESS SUSCEPTIBLE FOR DEVELOPING ALZHEIMER’S? SONDOS EL-HULU, JILLIAN GRAHAM, MICHAEL OLIVER(BELMONT UNIVERSITY) Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by a progressive lossin cognition. Research indicates that education protects againstsuch decline. Data from the ADNI database were analyzed toassess whether differences in education in cognitively normalindividuals could explain discrepancies in cognition andpathology consistent with AD. Education was positivelyassociated with cognition and negatively associated with taulevels in cerebrospinal fluid. Higher education may lead togreater cognition and less susceptibility to AD-relatedpathological changes. POSTER 51 HORROR FILMS AND ATTENTION ETHAN CLARK, EMMA BEITER, KAITLYN MURPHY(SUSQUEHANNA UNIVERSITY) In this experimental study, we analyzed the effects of horrormedia on one’s ability to notice and remember irrelevant changes

in the surrounding environment. Consistent with expectations,those with more prior exposure to horror content were better ableto notice external changes during a horror scene than those withless exposure. Surprisingly, however, overall noticing rates werehigher during the horror scene than for a neutral control scene. POSTER 52 HORROR FILMS AND ATTENTION ETHAN CLARK, EMMA BEITER, KAITLYN MURPHY(SUSQUEHANNA UNIVERSITY) In this experimental study, we analyzed the effects of horrormedia on one’s ability to notice and remember irrelevant changesin the surrounding environment. Consistent with expectations,those with more prior exposure to horror content were better ableto notice external changes during a horror scene than those withless exposure. Surprisingly, however, overall noticing rates werehigher during the horror scene than for a neutral control scene. POSTER 53 CAN SURPRISE FOSTER LEARNING OF NOVEL VERBSTHAT REFER TO SPATIAL SUPPORT? EMILY FERRER, STEPHANIE SPIVAK, KARIMA ELGAMAL,LAURA LAKUSTA (MONTCLAIR STATE UNIVERSITY) Previous research has demonstrated that the learning of novelwords can be facilitated by the mechanism of surprise. Surprisingevents, those that violate core knowledge of spatiotemporalproperties of objects, lead children to learn novel words betterthan expected events. We explore this mechanism of languagelearning by using the methodology of Stahl and Feigenson (2017)and applying it to novel support events and support verbs. POSTER 54 COMPARING EXPLICIT RATINGS OF WORD GENDER WITHIMPLICIT GENDER PRIMING EFFECTS SARAH JOHNSON, KAITLIN KRIDLO, RAECHEL GONZALEZ,TALIA DANIEL (MORAVIAN UNIVERSITY) The gendered nature of English words was studied via implicitassociations and explicit ratings. Study 1 revealed significantpriming from explicit gender primes (she, him, wife, brother) totarget words colloquially associated with one gender (purse,football, emotional, strong), providing evidence of implicit genderassociations. Study 2 demonstrated significant differences inmasculinity/femininity ratings for explicitly gendered,gender-associated, and neutral words. These results suggestaligned implicit and explicit gender biases for words.

We applied latent profile analysis to identify distinctpatterns of behavior problems and contexts in which behaviorsoccurred. The 6-profile solution consisted of two profiles ofadjusted children making up 60% of the sample and four profilesof at-risk children with elevated underactive and/or overactivebehavior problems associated with different classroom contexts. 9:50am - 10:05am VALUE DIMENSIONS INFLUENCE PERCEPTIONS TOWARDSIMMIGRANTS PRACHI PATHAK, FANLI JIA (SETON HALL UNIVERSITY) Researchers have turned to human values as predictors forpeople’s attitudes toward immigrants. Value based studies maybe effective in producing attitudinal and behavioral changestoward immigrants, as people can be receptive to universalvalues. The study compares differences between human values(e.g., benevolence, universalism, power, and achievement) onpeople’s perceptions toward immigrants such as prejudice in theU.S. Understanding the differences between these values canoffer insights into how anti-immigrant perceptions are formed. 10:10am - 10:25am ARE CROSS-CULTURAL SHYNESS COMPARISONS VALID? TESTING INVARIANCE WITH MULTIGROUP CFA XIAOXUE KONG, CHRISTINA A. BROOK (MCMASTERUNIVERSITY), JIAYI ZHONG, JUNSHENG LIU (EAST CHINANORMAL UNIVERSITY), LOUIS A. SCHMIDT (MCMASTERUNIVERSITY) It is important to establish fundamental measurementequivalence in personality constructs before inferringcross-cultural comparison. The current study examined whethera western-based anxious shyness measure was equivalentacross eastern-western cultures. There was invariance in theshyness scale to support an unbiased comparison of mean levelsbetween the two countries and the two countries by sex. Chineseyoung adults had significantly higher mean levels of shynessthan Canadian young adults. 10:30am - 10:45am WHAT CONTRIBUTES TO A POSITIVE EXPERIENCE:

ADVANCING BASIC PSYCHOLOGICAL SCIENCE WHILEPLACING IT IN THE SERVICE OF SUSTAINABILITY ELKE WEBER (PRINCETON UNIVERSITY) Environmental Psychology has been a small niche subdisciplinewithin the larger enterprise of Psychological Science, as haveother areas of application like social justice or climate action. Mytalk will provide arguments and examples for the proposition thatwe need to initiate and maintain a "two-way dialogue" betweenbasic and applied research. Basic psychological theory needs toearn its keep by being stress tested in complex real-worldenvironments and for its ability to contribute to solutions ofimportant societal problems. Such applications help identify gapsand blind spots in our theory landscape and also help to integrateacross theories that often only address only isolated componentsof perceptions, judgments, choices, and action.

JIMENEZ (RUTGERS UNIVERSITY) The present study investigated the willingness of participants tomalinger across a variety of academic situations. Participantscompleted a demographic questionnaire and a 15-itemself-reported malingering questionnaire created for the purposesof this study. Fewer than 20% of participants indicated theywould either “probably” or “definitely” malinger in situationsinvolving ADA accommodations. However, consistent withprevious research, participants were more likely to malinger insituations involving personal injury litigation. No demographicdifferences were found. 9:50am - 10:05am DIMENSIONS OF COGNITIVE INSIGHT AND PSYCHOSISPRONENESS: MEDIATING ROLE OF COGNITIVE BIASES USHA BARAHMAND, NAILA SHAMSINA, KEFIRA CARVEY,OSCAR SANCHEZ, ANGELICA MAE ANCHETA, GAGANDIPSINGH, JOYMIN SARKER (CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK,QUEENS COLLEGE) We hypothesized that the presence of both cognitive biases andimpairments in cognitive insight would serve as risk factors forexperiencing psychotic-like experiences. The relationshipbetween the dimensions of cognitive insight (self-certainty andself-reflectiveness) and psychosis proneness was mediated bycognitive biases (jumping to conclusions and attention to threat),and social cognition problems The direct relationship betweenself-reflectiveness and psychosis proneness and the mediation ofthis relationship by social cognition problems has clinicalimplications. 10:10am - 10:25am ATTRIBUTES OF MEMORY DISCLOSURE ANDPERSONALITY TRAITS AMONG COLLEGE STUDENTS RAGHAD HASSABELNABY, MEGAN CONRAD (WILLIAMPATERSON UNIVERSITY) The current study explored relationships between personality andautobiographical memory. College students were tested on theirrecall of positive, negative, and neutral information within avignette. Additionally, they were asked to disclose specificpersonal positive and negative events. Personality traits andanxiety are related to various aspects of memory and disclosure,including length, complexity, authenticity, and emotionality.Gender differences were also observed. Implications for clinicaland forensic interviewing are discussed.

11:00am - 11:15am ASSOCIATIVE LEARNING AND INTELLIGENCE J.W.(BILL) WHITLOW, JERILYN CHRISTENSEN (RUTGERSUNIVERSITY - CAMDEN) Thorndike noted in Measurement of Intelligence (1927) thatlearning has often been proposed as the key feature ofintelligence, but efforts to find associations between measures ofintelligence and learning ability were largely fruitless for 80years. Finally, Williams and Pearlberg (2006) found amoderately strong association between a complex associativelearning task and fluid intelligence. This paper describesresearch with our collection of discrimination tasks seeking linksbetween intelligence and learning. 11:20am - 11:35am LEARNED HELPLESSNESS IN PARTICIPANTS WITH ANDWITHOUT EMOTIONAL DYSREGULATION RODRIGO CARRANZA-JASSO, WILFRIDO PEREZ, EDITHHERMOSILLO (AUTONOMOUS UNIVERSITY OFAGUASCALIENTES), JAVIER VILA (FES IZTACALA,NATIONAL AUTONOMOUS UNIVERSITY OF MEXICO) Learned Helplessness occurs when organisms are exposed toaversive events, which are perceived as uncontrollable.Emotional dysregulation may have a direct bearing on LearnedHelplessness. The objective is to assess differences in learnedHelplessness in participants presenting and lacking emotionalregulation. Results showed differences in the expression oflearned Helplessness as a function of the emotional regulation ofthe participants. These results have important theoretical andapplied implications for learning theory and emotion-relatedbehavioral disorders. 11:40am - 11:55am WHAT OUR PETS CAN TEACH US ABOUT THEPSYCHOLOGY OF LEARNING LINDSAY MEHRKAM, ASHLEY FARRELL (MONMOUTHUNIVERSITY) This study assessed whether companion animals coulddemonstrate basic learning principles in an undergraduatePsychology of Learning course during COVID-19. Naive petdogs, cats, and goldfish of various breeds served as subjects.Students participated in 10 weekly labs (in person and virtual)and collected behavioral data. All subjects successfullydemonstrated a range of Pavolvian and operant conditioningprocesses, showing that learning principles can applied withdomestic species kept as pets and may have translationalbenefits. 12:00pm - 12:15pm USING PAVLOVIAN-INSTRUMENTAL TRANSFER TO TEST AMODIFIED LAW OF EFFECT AARON BLAISDELL, HENRI DE GUZMAN (UNIVERSITY OFCALIFORNIA, LOS ANGELES), AIDA LONGAN (UNIVERSITY

Weexamined definitions of body positivity, habitual body positivethinking and the content of such thoughts, and self-reports ofbody appreciation. Participant definitions were consistent withearlier literature definitions from less diverse samples. Habitualbody positive thinking and rating of positive thoughts significantlypredicted body appreciation, though rating of thoughts wasmoderated by their habitual nature. 11:20am - 11:35am YOGA AND WEIGHT MOTIVATION: PROTECTION AND RISKFOR EATING DISORDERS SYMPTOMS MARINA BRUNNER, TAYLOR BAUMLER (UNIVERSITY OFNORTH DAKOTA), KELLY CUCCOLO (ALMA COLLEGE,UNIVERSITY OF NORTH DAKOTA), RACHEL KRAMER(UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI, UNIVERSITY OF NORTHDAKOTA) Generally, research indicates yoga is associated with reducedeating disorder (ED) symptoms, body dissatisfaction, and greaterself-compassion. It is unclear whether weight loss/maintenancemotivation for yoga practice is associated with outcomes. Thisstudy noted individuals practicing yoga for weight loss reportedlower self-compassion and greater ED symptoms and bodydissatisfaction than for weight maintenance. Moderation analysesdemonstrated yoga frequency was also important - yogapractitioners who practiced more frequently were protectedagainst body dissatisfaction. 11:40am - 11:55am

REVIEWING COLLEGE STUDENTS’ FOOD INSECURITYBEFORE AND AFTER THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC TANZINA AHMED (CUNY KINGSBOROUGH COMMUNITYCOLLEGE), KAREN JIANG (CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK(CUNY) BROOKLYN COLLEGE), DANIEL BRUSCHE (CUNYBROOKLYN COLLEGE), HO YAN WONG (COLUMBIAUNIVERSITY), CAITLIN CHU (CARLETON COLLEGE), DANIELLOPEZ (CUNY KINGSBOROUGH COMMUNITY COLLEGE),ANITA YAN, JACOB SHANE (CUNY BROOKLYN COLLEGE),ROSITSA T. ILIEVA (CUNY URBAN FOOD POLICYINSTITUTE), STACIA READER, CHARMAINE ALEONG (CUNYBRONX COMMUNITY COLLEGE) During the COVID-19 pandemic, food insecurity increased acrossthe United States, with college students being particularlyvulnerable. 711 undergraduates in a public college weresurveyed before and during the first pandemic year. Compared topre-pandemic students, during-pandemic students reported lowerlevels of food insecurity and were more likely to write aboutfood-related difficulties and food support programs. Thesefindings indicate that food programs were likely critical to thewellbeing of college students during the pandemic. 12:00pm - 12:15pm COVID AND DECLUTTER: EXAMINING DECISION-MAKINGPROCESSES DURING A GLOBAL PANDEMIC JOSEPH R. FERRARI, DEVKI A. PATEL (DEPAULUNIVERSITY) During the COVID-19 pandemic, many Americans stayed athome to prevent the spread of the virus. Consequently, personsconfronted their home clutter and experienced decisionalconflicts toward decluttering projects. We examineddecision-making processes and motivational states arounddecluttering projects with an adult national sample (210 women,13 men).



SOCIAL POSTERS: COVID, HEALTH, ATTRACTION,PERSONALITY


POSTER 1 WHAT HELPS COLLEGE STUDENTS DEAL WITH THECOVID-19 PANDEMIC? JOHN HULL, DEBRA HULL, JOSHUA ALLEGRA, DILLONDAVENPORT, DAVID HELDT (BETHANY COLLEGE WV) Undergraduate participants responded to survey items assessinglevels of physical activity, depression, anxiety, and positive socialrole, then reported how negatively they responded to words andphrases relating to the COVID 19 pandemic. Varsity athletes,

African American/Latinx, and male participants generally reportedlower levels of anxiety and depression, and more resilience thanother participants. Varsity athletes also reported more positivesocial roles, but more skeptical or conservative responses toCOVID-19 related words and phrases. POSTER 2 PERCEPTIONS OF PERSONALITY CHARACTERISTICS ANDPOLITICAL IDEOLOGY BASED ON FACES OF WOMEN CHRISTINA MCELROY, SHARON HIMMANEN (CEDAR CRESTCOLLEGE) People make many assumptions about people after just briefexposure to their face. Undergraduates rated photographs ofpotential female political candidates of different ethnicities (Black,Latina, White) and ages (younger, middle-age, older) for likability,attractiveness, competence, professionalism, self-confidence,and leadership. They also indicted where on the politicalspectrum (left vs. right) they thought candidates were located andwhether they would vote for them. Significant interactionsbetween age and ethnicity were found across all measures. POSTER 3 IMPACT OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON THE WELL-BEING OFSTUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES GRETCHEN BEERNINK, SANDRA ZELAYA (SALISBURYUNIVERSITY), IAN HARE (SLIPPERY ROCK UNIVERSITY),ERICA HALL, SYDNEY STEEVES, ERIN STIFFLER, ANNAWOJEHOWSKI, RACHEL STEELE, CANDACE HENRY, HEIDIFRITZ (SALISBURY UNIVERSITY) The experiences of students with disabilities are under-studied. We surveyed students via Qualtrics regarding well-being andsocial interactions to examine whether students with disabilities(n=65) were disproportionately affected by the COVID-19pandemic compared to those without (n=130). Students withdisabilities reported worse mood disturbance, depression,anxiety, sleep disruption, social interactions, and life impact(finances, health care) than those without. Greatermicroaggressions, stigma consciousness, and avoidant copingstyle were associated with worse outcomes. POSTER 4 COVID-19 IMPACT ON BINGE-WATCHING BEHAVIOR &MEDIA CONSUMPTION DESTINY TAYLOR (THE PENNSYLVANIA BERKSUNIVERSITY, BERKS), NATHAN GREENAUER (THEPENNSYLVANIA UNIVERSITY, BERKS) Binge-watching has become a common practice following therise in viewer engagement with streaming services in recentyears (Flayelle, et al., 2019). However, limited research hasassessed how issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic, suchas social distancing and quarantine mandates, may haveinfluenced binge-watching behavior. In two studies, we examinechanges in media consumption, and the potential influence onfeelings of depression, engagement, isolation, and lonelinessthese changes may have engendered.

POSTER 5 THE EFFECTS OF THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC ONRECEIVING AND PROVIDING CAPITALIZATION SUPPORT KENDRA DASCANO, COURTNEY GOSNELL (PACEUNIVERSITY) The coronavirus pandemic is impacting social connections,leaving many feeling isolated. We conducted two studies on howcapitalization support methods may have shifted during thepandemic and affected mental well-being. Our data suggest thatactive-constructive support is less commonly perceived fromindividuals during the pandemic. Although active-constructivesupport continues to offer the most benefits, individuals mayappreciate of passive-constructive support. However, it may notbe a healthy approach for providers who report lower well-beingoutcomes. POSTER 6 PARENTAL CAPITALIZATION SUPPORT AND STUDENTSUCCESS DURING THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC SIERRA METVINER, COURTNEY GOSNELL (PACEUNIVERSITY) This study investigated how parental capitalization support(positive event support) is associated with child academicprogress and well-being during the pandemic. MTurk participants(N=203) took a survey addressing positive and negative eventsupport they provided their children with pre-/ post-pandemic andtheir child's academic success and well-being. Parents providinggreater quality capitalization support reported their childrenhaving greater academic progress and well-being. Capitalizationsupport was a stronger predictor of student outcomes thannegative event support. POSTER 7 HIDDEN BENEFITS OF LONG-DISTANCE RELATIONSHIPS?EXAMINING CONFLICT AND PASSION DURING COVID-19 ANNIE HARRIS, TIMOTHY VALSHTEIN (HARVARDUNIVERSITY), ANA DIGIOVANNI (COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY),RICHARD SLATCHER (UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA), RHONDABALZARINI (TEXAS STATE UNIVERSITY), GIULIA ZOPPOLAT(VRIJE UNIVERSITEIT AMSTERDAM). Little is known about how stress from the COVID-19 pandemicdifferentially affected cohabitating and long-distance romanticrelationships. We hypothesized that spending time togetherwould be beneficial for distance relationships but stifling forcohabitating couples. Using a large, multi-wave, multinationaldataset collected early in the pandemic (N = 5,167), wepre-registered a multivariate multilevel model to assess how theamount of time partners spend together moderates how differentrelationship types navigate conflict and experience passion. POSTER 8 HOW ISOLATION POLICIES HAVE AFFECTED YOUNGPEOPLES’ CAREER PROSPECTS AND MENTAL HEALTH?

AIMEN KHURRAM, KIMBERLY FAIRCHILD (MANHATTANCOLLEGE) This study examines the impact of COVID-19 isolation policies onthe mental health of young adults by manipulating careerprospects. Participants were also randomly assigned to read afavorable job circumstances or an unfavorable job circumstancesstory before responding to depression and anxiety scales. Theresults suggest a hopefulness among young adults asparticipants did not differ in their mental health symptoms as aresult of the job story manipulation. POSTER 9 LOOKING BACK AT THE PANDEMIC ONSET: TWITTERCHATTER REFLECTS CHANGES IN ALCOHOL NICOLE RYERSON, JEFFREY STONE (PENN STATEUNIVERSITY) Early research on the impact of the pandemic on alcohol use haspainted a complex picture. The current study utilized social mediacontent (i.e., Twitter) to investigate the initial impact of thepandemic on our relationship with alcohol. The prevalence ofalcohol related tweets significantly increased following thedeclaration of the global pandemic, however, the pattern ofalcohol related tweets across the days of the week did not differ. POSTER 10 ARE TIKTOK AND INSTAGRAM USE ASSOCIATED WITHBODY DISSATISFACTION AMONG YOUNG ADULTS? CHARLOTTE MARKEY, SOFIA BONSIGNORE, HEMALIPATEL, DUA MALIK, KENNEDY TRAN, WILLIAM FITZGERALD(RUTGERS UNIVERSITY) Although research suggests that social media use is associatedwith body dissatisfaction among adolescents, very little of thisresearch has examined two of the most popular social mediaplatforms: TikTok and Instagram. This study examined 68 youngadults’ appearance-focused (e.g., photo editing) andcommunication-focused (e.g., messaging) social media use onTikTok and Instagram in relation to their body image. Resultssuggest that appearance-focused engagement is mostdeleterious for body image. POSTER 11 COVID-19 PANDEMIC EFFECTS ON DISGUST SENSITIVITY? KELLY C. WERKHEISER, MADISON N. PRISTERA,ALEXANDER J. SKOLNICK (SAINT JOSEPH'S UNIVERSITY) Disgust is an avoidance-based emotion that causes humans toretreat to keep safe from contagious threats. The COVID-19pandemic may have increased people’s disgust sensitivities (DS)from excessive protective behavior concerns. We compared 2prepandemic samples (September2019, January2020) to 2pandemic samples (September2020, January2021) for their DSscores (N=1126). The pandemic samples reported significantlygreater DS scores than the prepandemic samples. A predictedsignificant gender difference was found, but not a predicted

gender-pandemic interaction. POSTER 12 THE EFFECT OF FACE MASKS ON FACIAL IMPRESSIONS SANJAY CHHETRI, JOHN WILSON (MONTCLAIR STATEUNIVERSITY) In three studies, we found that mask-wearing has a positiveeffect on social perception. The effect of masks was notmoderated by race or sex, and the effect of masks does notappear to be fully accounted for by the fact that masks simplyobscure the lower part of the face. This work contributes to anemerging body of knowledge regarding person perception duringthe COVID-19 pandemic, and offers some promising evidencethat people POSTER 13 PREDICTORS OF ADHERENCE TO COVID-19 HEALTHRECOMMENDATIONS KAREN WILSON, LEXIS ORTIZ (ST. FRANCIS COLLEGE) The present study investigated predictors of adherence toCOVID-19 recommendations. Social support, coping, and theHealth Belief Model variables were used to predict adherenceprevention behaviors. Maladaptive coping behaviors (denial andbehavioral disengagement) significantly predicted a lowerlikelihood of engaging in preventative behaviors. Additionally,self-efficacy and benefits of engaging in preventive behaviorpositively predicted adherence to COVID-19 recommendations. POSTER 14 HIGHER EDUCATION PROFESSORS ADAPTING TO ONLINETEACHING JOCELYN KOSIK, MICHAEL ROY (ELIZABETHTOWNCOLLEGE) Adaptation factors such as experience, personality and socialsupport may be predictive in professors’ self-perceivedadaptability scores to online teaching. Data from forty-fourElizabethtown College professors, collected using an onlineforum, was analyzed in a correlational analysis. The resultsshown one significant positive relationship betweenself-perceived adaptability scores and proactive personality.These findings represent the importance of inspiring proactivebehavior to minimize the impact of uncertain and ambiguoussituations. POSTER 15 WHAT'S YOUR PERCEPTION OF DOCTORS’ CARE?:PERCEPTIONS OF HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS ANDSERVICES MAGGIE NEIMAN, CATHERINE MELLO (THE PENNSYLVANIASTATE UNIVERSITY, BERKS) The present study examined individuals with different healthcareneeds’ perception of the care received from medical practitioners.

Participants were to rate recent healthcare encounters in terms ofperceived dyadic concordance, trust, empathy, and anxiety. Wehypothesized that participants’ perceptions of care would vary byhealth status. Participants who reported chronic illness hadsignificantly lower perceptions of dyadic concordance, trust, andempathy in their encounters with providers but comparableanxiety levels to healthy counterparts. POSTER 16 NEED FOR STATUS: AN EVOLUTIONARY EXPLANATIONLINKING MENTAL HEALTH AND SOCIAL MEDIA ARIS KARAGIORGAKIS, KAYLEE AARON (PENNSYLVANIASTATE UNIVERSITY, FAYETTE) The current exploratory study investigated the role of statusstriving and social comparison that were hypothesized to accountfor depressive symptoms from social media use. Eighty-fourparticipants received a survey measuring social media use,depression, status striving and social comparison. Significantcorrelations were found for nearly all variable combinations, anda hierarchical multiple regression predicted depressive symptomssuggesting a promising evolutionary contribution to ourunderstanding of the relationship between social media usageand mental health. POSTER 17 ARE ALCOHOL EXPECTANCIES ANTECEDENT TOREASONS FOR DRINKING? JUSTIN CHIPKIN, STEPHEN ARMELI (FAIRLEIGH DICKINSONUNIVERSITY) We used two analytic approaches to test whether alcoholexpectancies were antecedents of drinking motives. Support wasfound in that individuals who did not endorse specificexpectancies did not drink for that reason, wherein individualswho did hold specific expectancies did not always drink for thatreason. Less support for the antecedent nature of expectancieswas found from cross-lagged panel models predicting changes inexpectancies and motives across the first two years of college. POSTER 18 INCAPACITATED AND/OR FORCIBLE RAPE EXPERIENCEPREDICTING COLLEGE WOMEN’S RAPE VICTIM EMPATHY TIERYN GINGERICH HEISHMAN, SUZANNE L. OSMAN(SALISBURY UNIVERSITY) We examined rape victim empathy based on incapacitated (yes;no) and forcible (yes; no) rape experience. Undergraduatewomen (n = 670) completed scales measuring empathy with avictim during a rape and personal sexual victimizationexperiences. Rape experience was associated with greaterempathy, especially for those with forcible experience. Perhapsdue to memory loss regarding their own rape experience,incapacitated victims may be relatively less able than forciblevictims to understand another rape victim’s perspective. POSTER 19

FOR WHAT YOU CAN CHANGE, CHANGE; FOR WHAT YOUCAN’T, COGNITIVE REAPPRAISAL? MICHAEL ANDREYCHIK ([email protected]),ERIN CURTIS (COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY), EMA TAGLIC(FAIRFIELD UNIVERSITY) As part of the Collaborative Replications and Education Project(CREP), we replicated a study by Troy et al. (2017) investigatingwhether cognitive reappraisal ability is more strongly related topsychological well-being among those low vs. high insocioeconomic status. In our sample, we did not replicate the key(interactive) effect reported by Troy et al., and found instead thatoverall life stress and cognitive reappraisal ability were bothrelated to lower well-being. POSTER 20 ATTACHMENT SECURITY AND RESILIENCE-RELATEDASSETS MODERATE EFFECTS OF POLYVICTIMIZATION ONPSYCHOLOGICAL FUNCTION KATELYNN A. LACOMBE, HALEY R. CASHWELL, ABBY M.RUTIGLIANO, HANNA R. HATFIELD, KELSEY M. FRANK,JEFFERY E. ASPELMEIER, ANN ELLIOTT (RADFORDUNIVERSITY) The present study tests whether attachment security andresilience related assets moderate associations betweenchildhood polyvictimization and current psychologicalsymptomatology. As part of a larger study, a sample of 98 firstsemester college women completed online measures.Attachment Avoidance and Resilience related EmotionalReactivity moderated the negative effects of childhoodpolyvictimization. The highest severity of symptomatology wasreported by participants who were polyvictims with greateravoidance or emotional reactivity. POSTER 21 A COMPARISON OF ONLINE AND IN-PERSON BODY TALKWITH BODY SATISFACTION KATE DELTORCHIO, LINDA LIN (EMMANUEL COLLEGE) The study examined the prevalence of various types of body talkin-person and online in a sample of adult men and women so thefield can better understand each type of body talk in differentcontexts. The results indicated for in-person contexts peopleengage in fat talk the most. For online contexts, results indicatedthat people engage in positive body talk the most. In-person andonline contexts were split for further analysis of genderdifferences. POSTER 22 POSITIVE BODY TALK AND BODY SATISFACTION BAILEY CAREW, LINDA LIN (EMMANUEL COLLEGE) This study investigated the relationship between positive bodytalk and body satisfaction. Researchers analyzed participants’attitudes towards their bodies and positive body talk bothengaged in and heard from others. Results indicated that verbal

engagement in positive body talk was associated with higherlevels of body satisfaction than hearing others engage in positivebody talk. Further analysis suggested that engaging in positivebody talk mediated the relationship between hearing spokenbody talk and body satisfaction. POSTER 23 BELIEF AND BEHAVIOR: THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEENHEALTH BELIEFS AND EATING BEHAVIORS NORELL MENGERSEN, EMMA FREDRICK (MARISTCOLLEGE) The current study sought to establish the correlationalrelationship between health locus of control orientations, eatingbehaviors, and disordered eating behaviors. We hypothesizedthat (1) those who exhibit an internal HLoC would exhibit“healthier” eating behaviors, and (2) those who report disorderedeating patterns would exhibit an internal HLoC. No correlationwas found in support of our hypotheses. A significant correlationwas found, however, between hunger and disinhibition, andbetween disordered eating and cognitive restraint. POSTER 24 RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN REGULATORY FOCUS ANDPSYCHOLOGICAL NEED SATISFACTION ONTHANKSGIVING 2020 JULIA TICE, JAYNE KONATSOTIS, ANNA LOYKO, VANESSAIBARRA, SARAH KNAPP, DAVID CHUN, ABBY SCHROEDER,EMMA FEELEY, MEAGHAN NEWKIRK, RILEY OLSEN, LEIGHANN VAUGHN (ITHACA COLLEGE) Thanksgiving in 2020 happened several months into theCOVID-19 pandemic. We examined how motives for growth andfor security (promotion and prevention regulatory focus,respectively) related to satisfaction of basic psychological needson that day. These needs were for autonomy (really wanting todo something), competence (feeling effective), and relatedness(feeling close and connected to others). Results suggest thatfocusing more on growth was better for need satisfaction thanfocusing on duties or caution/self-control. POSTER 25 HOW REGULATORY FOCUS IN APRIL 2021 RELATED TOEXPECTATIONS ABOUT THAT SUMMER MEAGHAN NEWKIRK, DAVID CHUN, SARAH KNAPP, ABBYSCHROEDER, JAYNE KONATSOTIS, RILEY OLSEN, JULIATICE, ANNA LOYKO, VANESSA IBARRA, EMMA FEELEY,LEIGH ANN VAUGHN (ITHACA COLLEGE) In April 2021, many were optimistic but uncertain about what theywould do regarding COVID-19 in the summer of 2021. Ourparticipants expected that they would do more of the same things(e.g., wear masks in public) than different things (e.g., gather inpublic). However, participants motivated more strongly to growexpected to do more things outside their home. Those motivatedmore strongly to be secure expected to continue doing moremasking and social distancing.

POSTER 26 GOAL FUSION A PREDICTOR OF GOAL COMPLETION ATSPECIFIC TIME MEASUREMENTS MARIA TROUTMAN, THOMAS C. HATVANY (SHIPPENSBURGUNIVERSITY) This study examined the relationship between goal-fusion andself-clarity related to goal completion. There were approximately62 students enrolled at Shippensburg University who completedthe survey. To measure these concepts we used Grit scale,WBC-Boost subscale, and the WCS-Threat subscale. Resultssignified that there was a relationship between how fused one feltwith their goal and percentage of goal accomplished. Furtherresearch is needed to look at how goal fusion is related to goalcompletion. POSTER 27 THE EFFECTS OF EYE CONTACT ON SELF-DISCLOSUREAND TRUST JULIA FITZPATRICK, JENNIFER TICKLE (ST. MARY'SCOLLEGE OF MARYLAND) Previous research has examined the benefits of eye contact inpsychotherapy, but the effects of eye contact in an onlineenvironment on self-disclosure and trust have not been explored.This experiment examined trust and self-disclosure after beingexposed to either no, moderate, or high levels of eye contact in astructured online interaction. The implications of eye contact fordisclosure and trust in online interactions will be discussed. POSTER 28 AS SEEN ON SCREEN: EFFECT OF INTERVENTIONS ONHEALTHY RELATIONSHIP RECOGNITION SAMANTHA URBAN, EMILY AMIN, INYENE UKPONG, EMMAKEEGAN, EMMA FRAZIER (BELMONT UNIVERSITY) This study investigated effects of interventions on understandingsof relationship behaviors influenced by romantic mediarepresentations. Youths misunderstand portrayed relationshipbehaviors, especially with high realism. Interventions haveproven effective in curbing misunderstandings. 63undergraduates watched “romantic” media, indicated perceivedrealism, and identified healthy relationship behaviors.Participants who watched the intervention were less able toidentify healthy behaviors. Understandings and perceived realismwere positively correlated. Findings clarify effects of media andinterventions preventing harmful relationship behaviors. POSTER 29 CONTRIBUTION OF COLLEGE STUDENT INVOLVEMENTAND PARASOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS TO SENSE OFBELONGING DONOVAN BRADY, JORDAN BURNSIDE, ASHLEIGH HUHN,DILLAN WEIKEL, M.L. KLOTZ (SUSQUEHANNA UNIVERSITY) "Following" celebrities on social media may lead to parasocial

relationships, which though one-sided still might provide a senseof closeness and belonging. We hypothesized that collegestudents engaged in co-curricular activities would have less needfor parasocial relationships. We measured participants'co-curricular activities and parasocial relationships on Instagram,Twitter, and TikTok. Levels of co-curricular activities andparasocial relationships were not correlated, however, belongingpositively correlated with following celebrities but not withco-curricular engagement. POSTER 30 AMBIENT BELONGING CUES IN DIGITAL SPACES RACHEL DENZLER, BENJAMIN TUCKER, KATHRYNWALLACE (STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK ATGENESEO) Prior work established effects of ambient identity cues onperceptions of belonging and fit in physical and virtual spaces.While past studies investigated the impact of identity cues onmarginalized members in racialized and gendered environments,the current work assesses institutional differences in ambientidentity cues on university welcome websites. Through randomsampling of four-year institutions in the US, a qualitativeassessment of identity cues, and their differential presencebased on institution type, were conducted. POSTER 31 TAKING POSITIVITY TOO FAR: TOXIC POSITIVITY INRELATIONSHIPS JAKE FAZIO, GARY LEWANDOWSKI (MONMOUTHUNIVERSITY) This study examines how levels of unrealistic optimism impactsintimate relationships by assessing one’s level of toxic positivity,relationship satisfaction, and guilt level. As hypothesized,self-report data from X participants revealed a positiverelationship between high levels of toxic positivity and toleranceof bad behavior. Contrary to the hypothesis, there was a negativerelationship between toxic positivity and relationship satisfaction.There was also no relationship found between toxic positivity andguilt level. POSTER 32 AN INVESTMENT MODEL VIEW ON MOTIVATIONS FORROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP PRESENTATION ONINSTAGRAM STEPHANIE BAREFOOT, GWENDOLYN SEIDMAN(ALBRIGHT COLLEGE), MICHAEL LANGLAIS (FLORIDASTATE UNIVERSITY), KORI KRUEGER (UNIVERSITY OFPITTSBURGH) 100 participants completed a survey assessing how relationshipsatisfaction, alternative quality, and investment predict dyadicdisplay motives (relationship-protection, communal, privacy, andself-enhancement) and behaviors (posts mentioning partner) onInstagram. Investment predicted greater protection motives.Satisfaction and investment predicted higher communal motivesand lower privacy motives. Greater perceived alternative quality

predicted more self-enhancing motives. Privacy motives werenegatively and communal motives positively associated with thepercentage of posts that included the partner. POSTER 33 THE IMPACT OF PERCEIVED PHYSICAL RESEMBLANCE ONTHE ASCRIPTIONS OF CLOSE RELATIONSHIPS CECELIA K. ENSELL, SUSAN M. HUGHES (ALBRIGHTCOLLEGE) We experimentally tested the impact of perceived physicalresemblance on the perception of close relationships.Participants were shown sets of paired facial photos varying inphysical resemblance to one another, labeled as being eitherfriends, siblings, or romantic partners. Pairs with higher levels ofresemblance were perceived as having closer/higher qualityrelationships and as more likely to be siblings or friends, whereaspairs with lower resemblance were seen as more likely to beromantic partners. POSTER 34 ADHD AND INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS SHANNON EATON, KAYLEE KAUFFMAN, WYATT KOCH, M.L.KLOTZ (SUSQUEHANNA UNIVERSITY) College students with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) may face relationship challenges due to ADHD-relatedcharacteristics, including poor social skills and lack of impulsecontrol. Our 83 participants rated their imagined reactions tonegative interpersonal behaviors, some associated with ADHDand some not, and the impact of these characteristics on arelationship. Although ADHD-related characteristics were notrated more negatively than non-ADHD characteristics, they wereviewed as having a stronger impact on relationships. POSTER 35 15 QUESTIONS FOR THE FUTURE OF RELATIONSHIPS ODALYS ARANGO, GARY LEWANDOWSKI (MONMOUTHUNIVERSITY) We examined whether 15 face valid questions based onrelationship science literature designed to help people quicklyevaluate their relationship were associated with establishedmeasures. 250 participants from MTurk completed the 15questions, along with several measures of relationship quality. Ashypothesized, those who scored higher on the 15 Questions alsoreported greater need fulfillment, satisfaction, commitment,companionate love and passionate love. Findings suggest the 15Questions can help individuals evaluate their relationship. POSTER 36 GRATITUDE AND SATISFACTION WITH LIFEDIFFERENTIALLY PREDICT CONFLICT STRATEGIES INROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS JOHN KIM (LESLEY UNIVERSITY), PATRICK DWYER, CHENJI (INDIANA UNIVERSITY LILLY FAMILY SCHOOL OF

PHILANTHROPY) Gratitude is primarily a relational construct in service ofstrengthening particular social bonds, while satisfaction with lifeis a self-focused construct without an explicit social function.Therefore, gratitude, but not satisfaction with life, should predictprosocial behavior towards romantic partners. Consistent withhypotheses, gratitude predicted the reduced use of destructiveconflict-resolution strategies. However, rather than a null effect,satisfaction with life actually predicted the increased use ofdestructive conflict-resolution strategies. POSTER 37 NARCISSISM AND ATTITUDES TOWARD ROMANTICBREAKUPS RACHAEL RUSSO, BROOKE SCHLOTT, GWENDOLYNSEIDMAN (ALBRIGHT COLLEGE) Two studies examined how narcissism, described by theNarcissistic Admiration and Rivalry Concept (NARC) related toreactions to romantic breakup. Study 1 found rivalry wasassociated with greater externalized and internalized negativeemotion; admiration was associated with less sadness andgreater anger. Study 2 aimed to replicate these findings, andsuggested that results for sadness are similar, but other effectsare smaller than Study 1. POSTER 38 SELF-COMPASSION MEDIATES AND MODERATES THERELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FRAGILE NARCISSISM ANDSHAME MICHAEL MAGEE (ST. JOSEPH'S COLLEGE - BROOKLYN) Fragile narcissism, characterized by excessive vulnerability andsensitivity, a hypersensitivity to criticism, and a lack ofself-confidence is positively correlated with feelings of shame. Ina large sample (N = 631) of adults (18 – 40) from (mostly) the USand the UK, self-compassion mediated and moderated therelationship between fragile narcissism and shame. Based onthese findings, the possibility of using self-compassion-basedtreatment practices to counteract the shameful effects of fragilenarcissism is discussed. POSTER 39 THE PREVALENCE AND DEMOGRAPHIC CORRELATES OFCOMPASSION SCORES ALISSA TRESSLER, JYH-HANN CHANG, KEELEY STAPLES,MEGHAN GUARINO (EAST STROUDSBURG UNIVERSITY) This study found differences in Compassion of Others’ Lives(COOL) scale scores between gender, age, level of education,and academic major. Researchers statistically analyzedpreexisting data. Females significantly scored higher compassionscores than males. Age positively correlated with empathy (p <.001) and total compassion (p < .05). A Tukey HSD Post Hocfound significant differences between particular levels ofeducation and certain academic majors within empathy,alleviating suffering, and total compassion scores.

POSTER 40 CONSCIENTIOUSNESS AND OPENNESS ARE FRONT ROWTRAITS: PERSONALITY PREDICTS SPATIALPREFERENCES KEVIN BENNETT (THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY) This study presents findings that relate personality traits tolocation decision making (LDM) inside built environments. Acrossmultiple semesters, seat locations were freely chosen bypre-pandemic college students in an interior auditorium. Onemonth into the course, following the first exam, students (N=409)were given several personality measures while seating locationsby row were recorded. Results reveal that openness andconscientiousness, along with gender and age were significantlyrelated to location choices. POSTER 41 EXAMINING THE LOWER-LEVEL PERSONALITYPREDICTORS OF JUST WORLD BELIEFS AUTUMN SCARBOROUGH, XIAOWEN XU (COLLEGE OFWILLIAM & MARY) The present study examined how lower-level Big Five personalitytraits related to just world beliefs. Participants completedmeasures of trait personality and different types of just worldbeliefs. Results showed that overall, Withdrawal and Intellectpredicted lower levels of just world beliefs, whereas Orderlinessand Enthusiasm predicted higher just world beliefs. Thesefindings offer more nuance into how different personality traitsrelate to views of the world as just. POSTER 42 THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PERSONALITY TRAITS ANDAPPROPRIATENESS RATINGS OF SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS PETER GIBBONS, JASON TRENT (MARIST COLLEGE) This study examined the relationship between personality traitsand the appropriateness ratings that participants give to socialmedia posts. Ninety-nine students took an online survey wherethey rated various positive and negative social media posts andcompleted a measure of personality. A weak positive correlationwas found between extraversion and mean appropriatenessscores on positive posts. A weak negative correlation was foundbetween neuroticism and mean appropriateness scores onnegative posts. POSTER 43 BIG FIVE PERSONALITY TRAITS MODERATE CONFLICTINGNUTRITIONAL INFORMATION’S IMPACT ON ATTENTIONALEFFICIENCY JAKE RATTIGAN, PATRICK BARNWELL, RICHARDCONTRADA (RUTGERS, THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEWJERSEY — NEW BRUNSWICK) Exposure to conflicting nutritional information caused less

degradation in attentional efficiency among participants higher intrait openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness. No suchmoderator effects occurred for extraversion and negativeemotionality. These results have implications regardinghealth-related messaging and potentially other forms ofcommunication. Informational inconsistencies maydisproportionately affect less open, agreeable, and conscientiousindividuals’ ability to quickly allocate attention to make accurate,goal-consistent judgements, which may negatively impacthealth-related and other forms of decision-making.

11:00am - 11:15am INFANT MOTOR DEVELOPMENT PREDICTS THENONLINEAR DYNAMICS OF MOVEMENT DURING SLEEP AARON DEMASI, SARAH E. BERGER (GRADUATE CENTER,CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK) Over the first two years of life, the acquisition of motor milestonesresults in significant changes to sleep and brain development,including sleep-dependent motor activity related to motorexperience. The current study examined the nonlinear dynamicsof motor activity during sleep across a range of walk experience(N = 78). Controlling for age, more days of walk experiencepredicted less temporally structured sleep-dependent motoractivity, reflecting system-wide changes as a result of motormilestone acquisition.

11:20am - 11:35am FROM INFANT LOCOMOTION TO EXECUTIVE FUNCTION:THE ROLE OF THE PREFRONTAL LOBE NANCY RADER (ITHACA COLLEGE) Research using a robotic device found that goal-directedlocomotion led to enhanced executive function (EF) innon-crawling infants. To assess the theory that this relationshipderives from a shared prefrontal-lobe locus, brain activity wasmonitored using fNIRS while infants crawled or were pushed in astroller and during a passive attention and an EF task. Greateractivity was found for crawling than for passive movement andduring the EF task than for the passive-attention task. 11:40am - 11:55am EARLY SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT AND THE DEVELOPMENTOF THE INFANT GUT MICROBIOTA SARAH VOGEL, NATALIE BRITO (NEW YORK UNIVERSITY) There are documented associations between early life stress andthe developing gut microbiome. We examined how normativevariation in early social experiences was associated with thediversity of the human gut microbiome at age 1. In a sample of55 infants, we found that material deprivation was positivelyassociated with two measures of microbiome diversity over andabove sensitive parenting and traditional measures of SES.Implications for future research will be discussed.

2:00pm - 2:15pm WHICH VARIABLES MODERATE THE RELATIONSHIPBETWEEN DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS ANDNEUROCOGNITION ACROSS ADULTHOOD? JORDAN SERGIO, KAREN SIEDLECKI (FORDHAMUNIVERSITY) Physical activity, cognitive activity, education, emotional stability,and openness were examined as moderators of the relationshipbetween depressive symptoms and neurocognition in a largenon-clinical community-dwelling sample spanning adulthood.Depressive symptoms significantly predicted neurocognition.Hierarchical regression models showed that cognitive activityengagement, years of education, and emotional stability weremoderators of the depressive symptom-neurocognitionrelationship. These moderators may act as protective factorsamong individuals with lower depressive symptoms. 2:20pm - 2:35pm SOURCE MEMORY IN AGING: ARE SOURCES EQUAL? CANIT BE IMPROVED? SHAUN COOK (MILLERSVILLE UNIVERSITY) Across experiments, aging and source memory were studied. Older adults were classified on the integrity of frontal lobefunctioning. Results indicate that different sources areremembered differently. An aging effect in source memory wasdriven by older adults with poorly functioning frontal lobes. Whendifferent sources provided redundant, and not independent, cuesto items, source memory improvements were seen only in youngadults and older adults with higher functioning frontal lobes. 2:40pm - 2:55pm COGNITION AFTER CONCUSSIONS SHANNON O'LOUGHLIN (MILLERSVILLE UNIVERSITY);SHAUN COOK (MILLERSVILLE UNIVERSITY) Much of the literature focuses on the immediate and short-termeffects of concussions in individual performance. Gaps andcontroversies are seen in the number of acquired concussions,latency between concussions and cognitive performance afterrecovery from a concussion. This study addresses these gapsand begins to understand their relationships with cognition after arecovered concussion. 3:00pm - 3:15pm EFFECT OF PROCESSING SPEED AND WORKING MEMORY

ON MEMORY IN TRAUMATIC MARIA CAMILLA ESTELLE, GERALD VOELBEL (NEW YORKUNIVERSITY) Many individuals post-traumatic brain injury (TBI) have memorydeficits. Cognitive abilities such as processing speed and workingmemory affect information processing. This study investigatedthe impact of processing speed and working memory on memoryin adults with a TBI. Processing speed significantly predictedimmediate recall for visual memory, delayed recall for verbal andvisual memory, and composite measure of memory whilecontrolling for education and sex. Working memory was not asignificant predictor.

BEHAVIORAL NEUROSCIENCE KEYNOTE: SHEENAJOSSELYN


CHAIR: TRAVIS TODD

MAKING MEMORIES IN MICE SHEENA JOSSELYN (HOSPITAL FOR SICK CHILDREN /UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO) Understanding how the brain uses information is a fundamentalgoal of neuroscience. Several human disorders (ranging fromautism spectrum disorder to PTSD to Alzheimer’s disease) maystem from disrupted information processing. Therefore, this basicknowledge is not only critical for understanding normal brainfunction, but also vital for the development of new treatmentstrategies for these disorders. Memory may be defined as theretention over time of internal representations gained throughexperience, and the capacity to reconstruct these representationsat later times. Long-lasting physical brain changes (‘engrams’)are thought to encode these internal representations. Theconcept of a physical memory trace likely originated in ancientGreece, although it wasn’t until 1904 that Richard Semon firstcoined the term ‘engram’. Despite its long history, finding aspecific engram has been challenging, likely because an engramis encoded at multiple levels (epigenetic, synaptic, cellassembly). My lab is interested in understanding how specificneurons are recruited or allocated to an engram, and howneuronal membership in an engram may change over time orwith new experience. Here I will describe both older and newunpublished data in our efforts to understand memories in mice.

JOSEPH'S COLLEGE), ZACHGOLDBERG (GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY), IRENECHEUNG (HURON COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY OF WESTERNONTARIO), VICTORIA ESSES (UNIVERSITY OF WESTERNONTARIO) Symbolic racism captures ideological, as opposed to, racialaffinities. First, symbolic racism tracks attitudes toward politicalrather than racial groups. Second, racial bias is three times aslarge on the low versus high end of the scale. Three, low scoringrespondents exhibit categorically negative attitudes towardWhites, while high scoring respondents show categoricallypositive attitudes toward all racial groups. Fourth, high scoringWhite panelists were more positive towards non-White Christiansthan their low scoring counterparts. 2:20pm - 2:35pm AN EXAMINATION OF INTERGENERATIONAL CONTACTEXPERIENCES USING 10,338 JOURNAL ENTRIES ASHLEY LYTLE, MICHAEL KOWAL (STEVENS INSTITUTE OFTECHNOLOGY), JAMIE MACDONALD (ST FRANCISCOLLEGE), SHERI R. LEVY (STONY BROOK UNIVERSITY) Using 10,338 journal entries, we examined sentiments, emotions,and intergenerational contact among 2,414 volunteers in anintergenerational program. Participants reported predominantlypositive sentiments (64.2%, 29% neutral, and 6.8% negative) andmore positive emotions (joy) than negative emotions (disgust).Nearly all participants (98.2%) wrote a sentence that included atleast one of the five optimal intergenerational contact conditions. Moreover, positive sentiment was present in higher percentageswhen more instances of optimal contact conditions 2:40pm - 2:55pm WHEN POTENTIAL ALLIES AND TARGETS DO (AND DONOT) CONFRONT ANTI-ASIAN PREJUDICE JENNIFER RATCLIFF (THE COLLEGE AT BROCKPORT),FOLAKE OLOWU, ANGELA SUSHKO (THE COLLEGE ATBROCKPORT, SUNY) Following the use of the phrase “Chinese virus” and otheranti-Asian rhetoric by political leaders, xenophobia directed atAsian Americans increased substantially. One strategy to reducesuch prejudice is to confront expressers. However, the extentthat a statement/behavior is readily perceptible as prejudice likelyaffects an ally’s willingness to confront. This experimental studyexamines the impact of different forms of anti-Asian prejudiceand bystander race/ethnicity on willingness to confront theexpresser and actual confrontation behavior.



DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY KEYNOTE: MARJORIERHODES


CHAIR: VINAYA RAJAN

THE CONSTRUCTION OF SOCIAL KINDS IN EARLYCHILDHOOD MARJORIE RHODES, MARJORIE RHODES (NEW YORKUNIVERSITY) Young children construct beliefs that certain ways of categorizingpeople (e.g., based on gender, social class, and other groupmemberships) reflect fundamental ways of understanding peopleand the social world. The nature of these beliefs then shapes thedevelopment of key social attitudes and behaviors. This talk willdraw on experimental, longitudinal, cross-cultural, andfield-based studies to reveal the cognitive and socialmechanisms that underlie children’s construction of these beliefsacross early childhood.



UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH POSTERSFriday, March 4, 2022

2:00pm-3:20pm

POSTER 1 THE ROLE OF THE HIPPOCAMPUS IN MATERNALSUPPRESSION OF INFANT FEAR ALEJANDRA URQUIETA, REGINA SULLIVAN (NEW YORKUNIVERSITY) Parent buffers infant fear and amygdala activity, but not followingmaltreatment. Here we questioned if the hippocampus is alsobuffered, and if maltreatment disrupts it. Postnatal day (PN)8-12pups were control-reared or adversity-reared. PN18 and PN28pups were exposed to threat (tail-shock) with or without themother and 2-DG hippocampal activity was assessed. PN18hippocampus was not responsive to social buffering of threat, butwas engaged following maltreatment. The opposite was seen forPN28 pups. POSTER 2 AGGRESSION NETWORK DURING MALTREATMENT INMOTHERS AND PUPS ANNA SOSA, ROSE PERRY, REGINA SULLIVAN (NEW YORKUNIVERSITY)

Children with repeated early life adversity show increasedaggression later in life, which we model in rats using theResident-Intruder test. Again using rats, we show that theaggression circuit is already modified in postnatal day (PN12)rats after five days of maternal rough handling. POSTER 3 CULTURAL DIFFERENCES IN EATING PATHOLOGY AMONGVIETNAMESE AMERICAN AND EUROPEAN AMERICANADOLESCENTS JAIMIE PARK (NEW YORK UNIVERSITY), ANDREW PARK,WILLIAM TSAI (NEW YORK UNIVERSITY) Potential cultural differences in the link between eating pathologyand familial environments have rarely been examined. Thepresent study found that higher levels of family support wereassociated with lower levels of eating pathology among bothVietnamese and European American adolescents, but themagnitude of the relationship attenuated among the former. Highlevels of parental expectation were associated with lower levelsof eating pathology among European American adolescents, butwas not significant for Vietnamese adolescents. POSTER 4 THE EFFECTS OF ADVERSE TREATMENT ON THE INFANTBRAIN’S PREFRONTAL CORTEX ROSHNI RAJ, NINA GRAF (NEW YORK UNIVERSITY), ROSEZANCA, REGINA SULLIVAN (NEW YORK UNIVERSITYLANGONE MEDICAL CENTER) Mother-infant animal models show how trauma, induced withinattachment systems, disrupts the brain more than trauma alone(Raineki et al. 2019). Until now, this neural circuitry has not beenassessed in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) during nurturing andadverse maternal care on postnatal day 12 pups. 14C2-Deoxy-D-glucose audioradiography (2-DG) results indicatedthat adversity-reared pups had no significant difference in thePFC prelimbic (PL) but significantly lower PFC infralimbic (IL)activation compared to control-reared pups. POSTER 5 PRE-HOMEWORK MINDFULNESS EXERCISES AT APOUGHKEEPSIE MIDDLE SCHOOL ANTE DANY, MARY STONE (MARIST COLLEGE) Mindfulness-based practices are increasingly used to supportwellness and academic achievement in educational settings. Thisstudy examines if engagement in brief virtual mindfulness-basedpractices differentially impacts secondary-level students and theirundergraduate tutors’ emotional and cognitive experience duringon-line homework help. Students and tutors voluntarilycompleted electronic surveys assessing emotion, attention,thoughts, and behaviors after six online homework help sessions.Tutors but not students reported statistically significantimprovements in emotional and cognitive experience. POSTER 6

DEFINING THE FIRST-GENERATION STUDENT: COLLEGESTUDENT EXPERIENCE AND IDENTITY VICTORIA SALMERI, ASHLEY MENJIVAR, WARREN REICH,AMY DOMBACH (FELICIAN UNIVERSITY) First-generation students (FGS) have increasingly become aconcern among college administrators. In this poster we present(a) an extensive literature review on FGS, and (b) results from aseries of FGS focus groups. Published literature regards FGS as“at risk” who have no parent with a four-year college degree.There is no clear consensus on what the phrase “first-generation”subjectively means to these students—an issue addressed in ourfocus groups. POSTER 7 EXAMINING FACTORS RELATED TO ACADEMICACHIEVEMENT: GOAL ORIENTATION, GRIT, ANDSELF-EFFICACY ALEXA DEFULGENTIS, BROOKE HANSEN, ELIZABETHSWILP (BLOOMSBURG UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA) Mastery Goal Orientation can be described as a student’smotivation to advance their skill versus a motivation to displayknowledge or avoid humiliation among peers (Midgley et al.,2000). With the purpose of exploring the relationships amongGoal Orientation and other factors that predict academicachievement, we surveyed 643 undergraduate students withmeasures targeting Goal Orientation, Grit, and GeneralSelf-Efficacy. We tracked participant GPA data to measureacademic achievement. Results and limitations are discussed. POSTER 8 CHANGE IN COLLEGE STUDENT MENTAL HEALTH OVERTIME BRIGID CONNOR, ROBERT MOELLER, MARTIN SEEHUUS(MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE) The present study investigates the change in college studentmental health over time. Participants completed a survey thatobtained demographic information and gauged mental health.The data was then analyzed to identify relationships betweenmental health and demographic variables. The analysis suggestsparticipants with high socioeconomic status had significantlylower anxiety than participants of low or middle socioeconomicstatus. This relationship deepens the understanding of riskfactors for mental health which may lead to interventions. POSTER 9 THE BUILD YOUR BRAIN STUDY ZORI HAMILTON, SHARON KINGSTON (DICKINSONCOLLEGE), DIANA FISHBEIN (THE FRANKLIN PORTERGRAHAM CENTER AT THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTHCAROLINA AND THE PREVENTION RESEARCH CENTER ATTHE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY) The Build Your Brain online educational program aimed to

34

educate professionals about the impact of adverse childhoodtrauma on brain development and promoting healthy childdevelopment. The sample consisted of 37 family-servingprofessionals. A series of paired sample t-tests on ARTICsubscales, (Baker, et al, 2016) a measure of trauma informedcare attitudes assessed pre/post change. Professionals exhibitedsignificant changes in the desired direction on five of the sevensubscales. POSTER 10 GENDERED PERCEPTIONS OF COUNSELING AND MENTALHEALTH HELP-SEEKING BEHAVIOR LAUREN GRIFFIN, TAYLOR WHITEHOUSE, NICOLECAPEZZA (STONEHILL COLLEGE) We examined female and male college students personal andperceived stigmas towards an individual with social anxietydisorder (SAD). Participants (N = 20) read a hypotheticalscenario that manipulated the gender of the individual with SAD(male, female). Results revealed higher personal stigma for maleparticipants with the male SAD scenario compared to males withthe female SAD scenario; thus, calling for the deconstruction ofthe gendered notion of counseling, widening accessibility of thisresource. POSTER 11 THE EFFECTS OF EXERCISE TYPE AND INTENSITIES ONSLEEP QUALITY SARAH UTLEY, SAVANNAH CAMPBELL, HANK KELLER(BELMONT UNIVERSITY) Exercise improves sleep quality, but there is debate on whatspecific exercise is best. For this study, participants were askedto perform daily exercise for a week in one of four randomlyassigned conditions: moderate or high intensity aerobic oranaerobic exercise. Sleep quality was assessed nightly usingActiGraph activity watches. None of the aforementioned exerciseconditions promoted better sleep quality, suggesting variablesoutside of just intensity and type of exercise matter for influencingsleep. POSTER 12 EFFECTS OF ANXIETY LEVELS INFLUENCING EATINGHABITS THROUGH COVID-19 ANNA STEVENS, SYDNEY VOELBEL, WILLIAM AYOUB(WASHINGTON COLLEGE) We examined the influences on eating habits and anxiety levelsthroughout COVID-19. One hundred one Washington Collegestudents reported their eating habits and anxiety levels incomparison to COVID-19. Results indicated that there’s anincrease in unhealthy eating habits when participants reportedhigher levels of anxiety prior to COVID-19 and during the firstlockdown for COVID-19. However, there was no correlation toeating habits and levels of anxiety based off the participants'current well-being. POSTER 13

GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF PSILOCYBINDECRIMINALIZATION NICHOLAS AHARI, ARI KIRSHENBAUM (SAINT MICHAEL'SCOLLEGE) Clinical studies indicate that psilocybin can treat mental illness,and there is little dependence and toxicity potential. For thesereasons, there has been a growing interest by lawmakers todecriminalize psilocybin. To evaluate the current state of theseefforts, we performed a geographical analysis of the UnitedStates to map the progress of decriminalization. Our resultsdepict region-specific trends toward decriminalization, andsuggest possibilities for federal drug-control policy updatesregarding psilocybin POSTER 14 HOSPICE EXPERIENCE EFFECTS ON DEATH ANXIETY ANDOPINIONS OF PHYSICIAN-ASSISTED DEATH ROBYN COGLE, KIM O'DONNELL (NAUGATUCK VALLEYCOMMUNITY COLLEGE) Does a relationship between young adults’ hospice experienceand fear of death or opinions on Physician-assisted death exist? There is a lack of literature on young adults' hospice experience. A mixed-gender sample of 57 participants, half with hospiceexperience, completed online questionnaires. A key findingsuggests that participants with hospice experience showedincreased fear of death. How could hospice care providers betterprepare young adults to face fear of death? POSTER 15 THE EFFECTS OF COACHING EFFICACY AND TEAMATMOSPHERE ON INDIVIDUAL SELF ESTEEM CASSIDY PREDALE, KATIE KING, PAIGE O'CONNELL, TIMLOEFFLER (WASHINGTON COLLEGE) The current study examined how team atmosphere and coachingefficacy have an effect on individual athlete self-esteem.Fifty-Seven athletes reported their overall perceived self-esteemas well as relationships with their teammates and coaches.Results indicated that together both team atmosphere and coachefficacy had a positive effect on individual self-esteem. However,team atmosphere had more of an effect than coach efficacy. POSTER 16 A SYSTEMATIC INVESTIGATION OF HORMONALCONTRACEPTIVE SIDE EFFECTS ASHLEY GRIGLAK, AMY DOMBACH (FELICIAN UNIVERSITY) Women use hormonal contraceptives (HCs) for various reasons.This systematic investigation of research presents the sideeffects of HCs, reviews study methodology, and provides insightfor future research. Side effects depend on the form of HC, ageof user, level of predisposition to mood disorders, and menstrualcycle phase. Search criteria for including research articles in thereview and the strategy for comparing findings are presented in

35

charts. Suggestions for future research are made. POSTER 17 THE EFFECT OF SOCIAL STATUS ON ADDICTION STIGMA LISAMARIE SHEHU, ROBIN GUSTAFSON (WESTERNCONNECTICUT STATE UNIVERSITY) Prior research shows addiction stigma is a large issue. Wewondered whether an addict’s social status might have an effecton stigma. Seventeen participants were randomly assigned to thehigh social status or low social status group and level of stigmawas measured using a four-question questionnaire. We foundthat social status did not have a significant effect on stigma. Thismay indicate that regardless of an addict’s social status, stigma isstill a concern. POSTER 18 EXPLORING THE ROLE OF OPTIMISM ON EXERCISEACTIVITY AND MOTIVATION MAILE POWELL, SARAH WONG-GOODRICH (IONACOLLEGE) Recent research has shown that during the ongoing COVID-19pandemic, mental health problems have increased while physicalactivity levels have declined. The current study explored the roleof optimism in self-reported regular, moderate, and strenuousexercise activity. Results revealed that participants who reportedhigher levels of optimism also reported greater weekly amountsof both moderate and strenuous exercise. Ongoing analyses arefocused on determining whether optimism levels also influencemotivational reasons for engaging in exercise. POSTER 19 EXAMINING GENDER AND OVARIAN HORMONE EFFECTSON MENTAL ROTATION AND WORD RECALL TRINGA LECAJ, KAITLYN OHRTMAN, SARAH J.E.WONG-GOODRICH (IONA COLLEGE) The current study explored how mental rotation and verbalepisodic memory performance and strategy vary between menand women, and across normally cycling women experiencinghigh (midluteal) or low (menses) levels of endogenous ovarianhormones and in women taking birth control pills. Results did notreveal differences across hormone groups in task performance orstrategy but did reveal overall gender differences in mentalrotation and in the association between mental rotation scoresand memory performance. POSTER 20 ATTITUDES TOWARD DEPRESSION AND STIGMA IN THEBLACK COMMUNITY AMONNIE DREDDEN, MARGARET INGATE (RUTGERSUNIVERSITY) Black Americans are unlikely to receive treatment for depression. Fifty Black undergraduates completed an online survey

assessing depression, emotional regulation, discrimination,identity and attitudes toward treatment. Additional scalesassessed fear of racism, overuse of digital media, socialization ofemotional expression and stigma toward depression. Fear ofracism and stigmatization were associated with higher scores onthe CESD. Respondents expressed willingness to seek treatmentbut 80% saw shame as a barrier to treatment for others. POSTER 21 THE INFLUENCE OF DOG ENRICHMENT AND ATTENTIONON STRESS IN COLLEGE STUDENTS KAITLYN HOGAN, LINDSAY MEHRKAM (MONMOUTHUNIVERSITY) This pilot study evaluated the influence of dog enrichment andattention on stress in college students. Participants completedpraising, petting, and playing using a dog toy interactions withtheir dog. Participants filled out a 5-point questionnaire ratingtheir stress levels and recording their heart rates after eachinteraction. Results showed a decrease in mean stress scores forparticipant 1 and a slight increase for participant 2. Heart ratescores did not have a significant difference. POSTER 22 POSTING VS. SCROLLING; HOW SOCIAL MEDIA USERELATES TO PERSONALITY SARA LECLAIRE, ANDREW CLARK, KALEIGH HAMM, KELLYMCFILLIN, DANIEL MOCO, KAITLYN ORCUTT, MADYSONSTEINBRUNNER, ARIANA SULLIVAN, KARRI VERNO(MANSFIELD UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA) This study examined the links between social media usage andpersonality. A total of 51 people completed measures ofnarcissism, self-esteem, and social comparison. They alsocompleted an inventory of social media use which was used todivide them into Posters and Scrollers. Preliminary resultsindicate slight but non-significant differences on severalvariables. Posters were generally higher on narcissism, lower onself-esteem, and were more likely to use upward socialcomparison compared POSTER 23 LAY THEORIES OF PSYCHOPATHY SAMANTHA ENDLICH, JOHN PTACEK (BUCKNELLUNIVERSITY) The purpose of this study was to investigate what collegestudents know about psychopathy by replicating and extendingthe work of Furnham, Daoud, and Swami (2009). One hundredfour randomly selected students were asked to identify each offive disorders based on vignette descriptions. Results indicatedthat students are least accurate in identifying psychopathy andexperienced some difficulty correctly identifying true and falsestatements regarding the disorder. POSTER 24 THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SOCIAL MEDIA EXPOSURE.

36

PSYCHOLOGICAL WELLBEING, AND POLITICAL IDEOLOGY JAMES EVELAND, MARY JO LARCOM, BRETT BECK(BLOOMSBURG UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA) This study sought to determine the relationship betweenmeasures of psychological wellbeing (e.g., depression levels andself-esteem), screen time/social media use, and politicalideology. In a sample of undergraduates (N = 68), resultsrevealed that greater recent smartphone use significantly relatedto higher levels of depression, lower self-esteem, and higheraggression. Time spent on social media significantly related tohigher depression levels and lower levels of self-esteem. Greaterconservatism was associated with better psychological wellbeing. POSTER 25 COLLEGE STUDENT SOCIAL ANXIETY AND MENTALHEALTH CARE ACCEPTANCE DURING THE PANDEMIC SOPHIA MAGEE, ALYSE PEDUTO, DENNIS COGAN, SOPHIEEPSTEIN, EMILY FERRARI, GABRIELA JAKUBEK, EMILYLEWIS, RACHEL ANNUNZIATO (FORDHAM UNIVERSITY) In the wake of the pandemic, rates of mental illness are risingamong college students, who have experienced tremendousdisruption to their educational and social experiences. We,therefore, sought to specifically examine social anxiety as well asmental health care acceptance among this highly affected group.In our sample (N=196), results showed significant levels of socialanxiety as well as positive attitudes and intentions towardshelp-seeking offering important implications for developingtargeted resources. POSTER 26 PILOT STUDY COMPARING THE SENSITIVITY OFWEARABLE AND ELECTRODE BASED MEASURES EMMA WHITTEMORE, GUINEVERE BROWNELL, HARLANFICHTENHOLTZ (KEENE STATE COLLEGE) The goal of the current study is to assess the difference insensitivity to transient electrodermal responses across twodifferent technologies, a wearable deceive (Fitbit sense) wascompared to traditional electrode-based laboratory equipment(Biopac MP36R). Preliminary data suggest that the wearabledevice was less sensitive to spontaneous EDA responses. Thedifference in sensitivity was consistent across the 5-minuterecording period. POSTER 27 WHAT MAKES AN UNDERDOG MUSICIAN? ANEXPLORATION OF THE UNDERDOG MUSICIANSTEREOTYPE. COURTNEY SHECKLER, TAJARIE WRIGHT, LAURAEDELMAN, KENNETH MICHNIEWICZ (MUHLENBERGCOLLEGE) Most people experience an affinity for underdogs. In light ofmultiple theoretical perspectives, we asked participants todescribe an underdog musician through open-ended responses

and numeric evaluations on 50 trait ratings. POSTER 28 DID MITIGATING COVID-19 MITIGATE CAMPUS SEXUALASSAULT? ARIANA GAMBRELL, HANNAH GOLDBERG, HANNAH HOLT,MEGAN KOPITSKY, LILY SHORNEY, ERICA DELSANDRO,BILL FLACK (BUCKNELL UNIVERSITY) Hookup and party culture are risk factors for campus sexualassault (CSA). COVID-19 mitigations supposedly lessened theprominence of these factors. Comparing the results from acampus climate survey conducted in 2018 to 2021, COVID-19mitigation strategies clearly did not decrease CSA. Key findingsindicate that rates of sexual violence remained consistent orincreased. This highlights the importance of further investigatingrisk factors for CSA given the continued prevalence of the issuedespite COVID-19 mitigations. POSTER 29 EXPLORING THE EFFECTS OF NICOTINE ON REWARDLEARNING IN FEMALE SPRAGUE-DAWLEY RATS BRENDAN ATTICKS, ROBERT WICKHAM (ELIZABETHTOWNCOLLEGE) Nicotine can enhance reward-related learning. In male rats, whennicotine is systemically administered immediately prior to sucroseself-administration, self-administration increases andenvironmental cues associated with sucrose become moresalient. However, the effects of nicotine in female rats have notyet been studied. Here, using female rats, we show only anincrease in the saliency of cues without increases in sucroseself-administration. This work suggests potential sex differencesin ways in which nicotine influences reward processing. POSTER 30 LATERALIZATION OF EMOTIONAL PROCESSING OFMASKED FACES, UNMASKED FACES, AND VALENCEDWORDS. HANNAH KOLPACK, JULIA CROCKER, SERGE ONYPER(SAINT LAWRENCE UNIVERSITY) Faces perceived by the right hemisphere, which processes inputfrom the left visual hemifield, are rated as more emotional. Doesthis trend also occur when masks limit emotional expression, aswell as for emotional words? In two experiments, participantspreferred both masked and unmasked chimeric faces withemotion on the left half of the face and remembered moreemotional words shown on the left. Thus, the right-hemispherebias generalizes across a variety of emotional stimuli. POSTER 31 DOES SEX IMPACT ANXIETY BEHAVIOR INDUCED BYALTERATED CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS KIMBERLY MARTINEZ, CARLEY SILVIA, PRINCY MENNELLA(WESTFIELD STATE COLLEGE)

37

Sex differences exist in the incidence of anxiety. Alteredcircadian rhythms could be one cause. We studied the impact ofsex on circadian rhythm-induced anxiety behavior in Drosophila.Male and female flies were placed in 3 conditions: all light, alldark, or light/dark. Wall-following behavior was used to assessanxiety-like behavior. Preliminary results reveal no effect ofcircadian conditions. Ongoing behavioral analysis will examinethe sex by circadian rhythm interaction on anxiety behaviors. POSTER 32 DOES ANXIETY PLAY A FACTOR IN FALSE MEMORYCREATION? ANGELISE MELANSON, HARLAN FICHTENHOLTZ (KEENESTATE COLLEGE) This study investigated false memories in individuals with andwithout anxiety using the Deese-Roediger-McDermott paradigm.In the encoding phase, participants studied 15 semanticallyassociated word lists. Twenty-four hours later, the participantswere presented with a free recall test, the Hamilton Anxietyquestionnaire, and an old/new recognition test that includedwords from each list, critical lures, and new words. Critical lureswere reported as “old” words more often than the studied wordsand new unrelated words. POSTER 33 THE PREFERENCE PROJECT: INVESTIGATINGUNCONSCIOUS BIASES WITHIN DATING HABITS EMILY FERNANDES, HARLAN FICHTENHOLTZ (KEENESTATE COLLEGE) This current study investigates implicit biases that manyindividuals are unaware of when choosing a significant other.Participants were asked to rate a set of potential romanticpartners which varied in race, academic interest andextracurricular activities. Results indicated that the race andacademic interest of the potential partners were significantfactors in participants’ rankings of the profiles. The specificpattern varied by the gender of the participant. POSTER 34 THE INFLUENCE OF ANIMALS ON CLIMATE CHANGECONCERN & PRO-ENVIRONMENTAL BEHAVIOR ALLISUN ROMAIN, LINDSAY MEHRKAM (MONMOUTHUNIVERSITY) This study examined how viewing animals influenced peoples’climate change concern and likelihood to engage inpro-environmental behavior. The sample included 76undergraduate students enrolled in Monmouth Universitypsychology courses. There was a significant effect of time (p =.004), as well as the interaction of time and condition (p = .03),on mean climate change concern ratings. However, condition didnot have an effect on likelihood to engage in pro-environmentalbehavior (p = .11). POSTER 35

EFFECTS OF MELATONIN AGAINST WESTERNDIET-INDUCED HIPPOCAMPAL DYSFUNCTION OLIVIA DRAGOVITS, ALEXIA HYDE, TERRY L. DAVIDSON(AMERICAN UNIVERSITY) Western-style diet (WD) consumption increases adiposity andbody weight - effects that are linked to impairedhippocampal-dependent cognitive functioning. We investigatedwhether melatonin protects against these adverse effects of WDintake. Male and female rats received daily melatonin or vehicleinjections over the final 30 days of a 90-day ad libitum chow orWD period. Melatonin significantly reduced body weight and fatgain in females. No effects of melatonin on hippocampalpathophysiologies were observed. POSTER 36 THE EFFECT OF RACIAL BIAS EXPERIENCE AS A TARGETON SOCIAL ANXIETY ZEYI ZANG, MADDIE HARTLEY, MARINA LAZARO, SKYEVICTOR, HYEYOUNG SHIN (FRANKLIN AND MARSHALLCOLLEGE) This study investigated the effect of racial bias experience as atarget on social anxiety among college students and how thiseffect differs between non-international and internationalstudents. We found a significant association between racial biasexperience and social anxiety. Also, this effect was stronger forinternational than non-international students and for female thanmale students. Results imply that racial bias experiences canmake a significant impact on students’ mental health particularlyfor international students. POSTER 37 RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EMPATHY AND CRITICALTHINKING DISPOSITIONS MIRANDA MUTZABAUGH, KOBY BAKER, SOPHIA WILLIAMS,M.L. KLOTZ (SUSQUEHANNA UNIVERSITY) Empathy is often defined as vicariously experiencing anotherperson’s emotions, but it also can refer to the ability to adoptanother person's perspective or way of thinking. Based on thislatter sense, empathy may correlate with critical thinking skills.Our 61 participants completed a measure of empathy and acritical thinking dispositions scale that focused on motivation touse components of critical thinking. The composite scorecorrelated with empathy, but individual dispositions generally didnot. POSTER 38 THE INFANT EEG MU RHYTHM AND PRESCHOOL SOCIALCOGNITION: A PILOT STUDY ANNA KELEMEN, LAUREN BRYANT (COLLEGE OF THEHOLY CROSS), KIMBERLY CUEVAS (UNIVERSITY OFCONNECTICUT) The EEG mu rhythm is recorded at central scalp sites and

38

desynchronizes (i.e., decreases in power relative to baseline)during both action observation and execution. This overlap incortical activity during action perception and performance ishypothesized to support a myriad of social cognitive functions,including theory of mind. The present pilot study examineswhether infant mu rhythm desynchronization predicts socialcognition during the preschool years. POSTER 39 THE EXPERIENCES OF LOCAL HEALTHCARE WORKERSDURING COVID-19: A QUALITATIVE STUDY KEISHA NIEVES SANTANA, KADIE PHARR, KYLAHCOOKSON, LILLIAN REPSHER (KEYSTONE COLLEGE) This study aimed to investigate the experiences of healthcareworkers during Covid-19. Research indicates healthcare workershave experienced many challenges due to the pandemic, leadingto increased emotional and physical burdens. The researchersinterviewed six participants and analyzed the data using thematicanalysis. Main themes of Mismanagement, Emotional andPhysical Toll, and Finding the Positives, emerged. The findingssuggest ongoing consideration of healthcare worker experiencesand suggests management practices and systems to supportincreased well-being. POSTER 40 EFFECT OF AFFECTIVE VERSUS COGNITIVE INFORMATIONAND INFORMATION SOURCE ON PRO-IMMIGRANTATTITUDES GIANNA PALETTA, JOSHUA WRIGHT (SAINT JOSEPHSCOLLEGE) We examined longitudinal changes in pro-immigrant andpro-immigration attitudes as a function of persuasive appealsvarying in affective versus cognitive content and varying inimmigrant versus ingroup source. Results indicate that allapproaches increased pro-immigrant and pro-immigrationattitudes transiently, but effects disappeared at four weeks withthe exception of pro-immigration policy attitudes in response topro-immigrant messages received from an ingroup memberregardless of whether they reflected affective or cognitivecontent. POSTER 41 MENTAL HEALTH IN HIGHER EDUCATION FACULTYAMIDST THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC STEPHANIE HRIBKO, NEDA MOINOLMOLK (UNIVERSITY OFALBERTUS MAGNUS COLLEGE) A cross-sectional study was performed to assess how collegefaculty are coping since the onset of the pandemic. Variousindependent T-tests had found that there were no significantdifferences between the discipline type and burnout, depression,and anxiety symptomatology. However, depressionsymptomatology was found to be positively related to theduration of remote work for faculty due to COVID. This studyhighlights the potential mental health implications of remote workfor faculty working in.

POSTER 42 AN EXAMINATION OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS’ AUTISMSTIGMA IN CANADA AND HONG KONG THERESA ANTONY, DEONDRE WILLIAMS (COLLEGE OFSTATEN ISLAND CUNY), RHENIELA CONCEPCION(OSSINING HIGH SCHOOL), KRISTEN GILLESPIE (COLLEGEOF STATEN ISLAND CUNY), GARY LAM, JEFFREYMACCORMACK (UNDEFINED) This study evaluates university students’ autism knowledge andstigma in Hong Kong and Canada. Students from an institution inCanada and Hong Kong responded to a social distance scaleand an autism knowledge scale pre-test and post-test of an ASDtraining. Our training was associated with increasing autismknowledge and decreasing stigma in both countries. There’s aneed for more widespread training in countries with inadequatesupport services, low ASD acceptance, and heightened ASDstigma. POSTER 43 IMPACT OF COVID-19 SHELTER-IN-PLACE ON INFANTSLEEP DANIEL PALMIERI, MARTINA YOUSSEF (COLLEGE OFSTATEN ISLAND), AARON DEMASI (CUNY GRADUATECENTER), SARAH E. BERGER (CUNY GRADUATE CENTERAND COLLEGE OF STATEN ISLAND) The COVID-19 global pandemic prompted stay-at-home ordersglobally, causing major changes to routines. This studyinvestigated whether imposed schedule changes due toshelter-in-place mandates impacted infants’ day and night sleep.Parents reported that infants took longer naps, napped atdifferent times, and had more settling difficulties. Additionally, themajority of infants did not attend daycare during the pandemic. POSTER 44 LET'S TALK ABOUT SEX WORK HANNAH IRWIN, DREW BARTOS, FERNANDO GATON BIDO,MAKAYLA WILKINS, SKYE SOTO, HAILEE FOSTER (PENNSTATE UNIVERSITY), DAVID LIVERT (PENN STATEUIVERSITY) This study examines the degree to which college students'attitudes towards sex workers are impacted by the presence ofsex workers in their social network. Penn State studentscompleted an online survey which included a social networkmeasure, attitudes towards sex workers, and consumption ofpornography. It was predicted that friends who were sex workerswould results in more compassion towards sex. In contrast, itwas predicted that high pornography consumption would beassociated. POSTER 45 SELF-MONITORING: AGE, RACE, GENDER, PERCIEVEDGENDER DIFFERENCES AND GENDER ROLE BIASES.

39

MELLISA WATSON (STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORKCOLLEGE AT OLD WESTBURY), JENNIFER PIPITONE(COLLEGE OF MOUNT SAINT VINCENT) Sociodemographic variables may influence an individual’s abilityto self-monitor behavior in different settings. Additionally, genderbias may alter perceived gender differences in self-monitoring.Survey data from 105 American participants found women weremore likely to be low self-monitors, and Asian or Pacific Islanderparticipants were more likely to be high self-monitors comparedto White participants. Gender, race, and gender bias maycontribute to one’s ability, or inability, to freely expressthemselves in different social settings. POSTER 46 UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH: AN OVERVIEW OF GOALS,BENEFITS, AND SKILLS GAINED INYENE UKPONG, LINDA JONES (BELMONT UNIVERSITY) Undergraduate research is considered a high impact experiencefor science students, resulting in increases in problem-solvingskills, minority involvement, and interest in STEM careers. Thepurpose of this study was to investigate the goals, benefits, andskills gained by students participating in a cross-disciplinarysummer research program. Fifty undergraduate students in asix-week summer research program completed surveys on theirexperiences. Results indicated support for previous literature interms of accomplishing goals and obtaining skills. POSTER 47 SURVEILLANCE AND COLOR: A CHANGE BLINDNESSSTUDY CHRISTINA QIU (STUDENT), HARPER KEENAN, SAHANAVAIDYA, KATRINA GALLIONE, ANJEL FIERST, JULIANKEENAN (MONTCLAIR STATE UNIVERSITY) Research has indicated that change blindness is a phenomenonthat occurs in both natural and unnatural scenes. The currentstudy was designed to derive implications of change blindnessfor the utilization of black and white versus color surveillancecameras. Seventy-one undergraduates were shown scenes inwhich forensic and non-forensic changes were employed.Greater detection ability for forensic changes resulted when thechanges were employed in color. POSTER 48 PREVENTING POTENTIAL RACIAL BIASING INSCALP-BASED IMAGING USING BRAIDING METHODS ANJEL FIERST, SAHANA VAIDYA, HARPER KEENAN,CHRISTINA QIU, KATRINA GALLIONE, JULIAN KEENAN(MONTCLAIR STATE UNIVERSITY) The two main techniques of scalp-based neuroimaging involvingstimulation are TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) andERP/ERG (Event-Related Potential and Encephalogram).Hair-types commonly seen in historically under-representedminorities appear to interfere with ERP/EEG and TMS. Using theTwist and Pop Smoke braiding methods, we were able to

effectively employ TMS on participants with curly and texturedhair. Thus, describing these two methods, one that improvesERP/EEG (TAPS) and one that improves TMS (Sol). POSTER 49 VARIATION IN MUSIC GENRE PREFERENCES FORDIFFERENT EMOTION REGULATION PURPOSES COLE NORBERG, IAN BONILA, RACHEL BATIZFALVI, RYLEYBLASETTI, CALI BUXTON-PHAM, JENISSA ENCARNACION,OLIVIA IDZIKOWSKI, SHANELLE KEYES, ALEXISLEEOTANEZ, MAKENNA PERUZZI, THALIA RALPH, SOPHIA RIJO,KATHLEEN RINGLER, MARIELLE ST. AUBIN, MISHAL TARIK,ANNE GILMAN (COLLEGE OF SAINT ROSE) People listen to music to regulate their emotions, but which kindsofmusic do people choose to regulate affective states? In thisstudy,21 participants listed what music genre they listen to for differentemotional regulation purposes such as cheering themselves uporpreparing to exercise. Pop and Rap/Hip-hop were the favorites,exceptfor Rock and Metal for angry states. Differences from earlierresultspoint to the need for additional work in this area. POSTER 50 EXAMINING IEPS IN AUTISTIC POPULATIONS FOREXTRACURRICULAR PROGRAMS: A PILOT STUDY ABIGAIL DONAGHUE, SOPHIE KALLENBACH, EILEENCREHAN (TUFTS UNIVERSITY) This study examines how Individualized Education Programs(IEPs) of adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)address extracurricular education. Prior research indicates thatarts education and accessible sex education positively impactthe social and emotional learning and wellbeing for youth withASD. The present study reviews 19 IEPs from autistic studentsranging from 5 to 20-years-old. Our findings suggest that IEPs donot consistently address arts or sex education, leaving room forimprovements for POSTER 51 EXAMINING SOCIAL MEDIA USE, SOCIAL ANXIETY, ANDNICOTINE USE IN COLLEGE STUDENTS CAMRYN BISHOP, SARAH WONG-GOODRICH (IONACOLLEGE) The current study explored the association between socialanxiety, social media intensity, and nicotine use in college-agedmen and women. Analyses indicated no correlation betweenself-reported social media use levels, social anxiety levels, andnicotine use. However, results did indicate that females reportedsignificantly higher social anxiety levels than males overall, whichis consistent with prior studies on the prevalence of social anxietydisorder.

POSTER 52 EMOTION AND AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL MEMORY YUFAN LI, MARGARET INGATE, RICHARD CONTRADA(RUTGERS UNIVERSITY, NEW BRUNSWICK) This study examined participants’ reports of autobiographicalmemory (AM) cued by 10 emotion-related words and assesseddepressive symptoms, digital media use, ethnic identity, and twoaspects of emotion regulation, expressive suppression andcognitive reappraisal. Responses were collected online. 102undergraduates provided complete data. Memory reports werescored for specificity. We predicted, but did not find, an inverserelationship between AM specificity and depressive symptoms.We report gender differences and correlations among variables. POSTER 53 THE IMPACT OF STRESS IN RELATION TO SOCIALISOLATION DURING COVID-19 AVA TURNER, JULIA KUCHNIO, PRANAVEE SUTHARSHAN(WASHINGTON COLLEGE) The current study examined the relationship between stress inrelation to social isolation during COVID-19 and exercise activitylevels. Ninety-six 18-25 year-olds were surveyed on their stresslevels before and during COVID-19 quarantine, and theirexercise levels and frequencies. Results indicate no consistentcorrelation between COVID-19 stress and exercise levels.However, motivation may be crucial to exercise levels. POSTER 54 EFFECTS OF COVID-19 RELATED FEAR AND ANGER ONSTUDENT ENGAGEMENT SARA STAVELY, VIPANCHI MISHRA (WEST CHESTERUNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA) We investigated the effects that COVID-19 related fear and angerhave on student participation, depression, and studentengagement during the pandemic. One hundred and threeundergraduate students completed an online survey measuringfear, anger, depression, physical symptoms, and studentengagement. Results indicated that COVID-19 related fear didnot significantly predict the experience of physical symptoms,depressive symptoms, or student engagement. WhereasCOVID-19 related Anger did predict student experiences ofphysical symptoms, depression, and negative student POSTER 55 EVALUATING NORMATIVE AND NON-NORMATIVE SEXUALTENDENCIES RELATED TO ALCOHOL USE ABIGAIL LARKIN, JASON SIKORSKI, RACHEL CURCIO(CENTRAL CONNECTICUT STATE UNIVERSITY) 796 undergraduates were categorized based on the number ofdays they consumed alcohol within the last 30 days. Resultsrevealed that participants who consumed the most alcohol weremore likely to experience dangerous sexual outcomes and

engage in a wider range of normative sexual behaviors. Alcoholprevention programs on college campuses should aim to bemore culturally sensitive and multifactorial to reduce a broadarray of physical and social risks linked to alcohol consumption. POSTER 56 YOUTH AND PARENT IDENTIFIED PRECIPITANTS TOWEIGHT LOSS IN ANOREXIA NERVOSA SOPHIA HAASE (WILLIAMS COLLEGE), GRACE HAAS,MARITA COOPER, SAMMIE WEISS, NATALIA ORLOFF,REBECKA PEEBLES, C. ALIX TIMKO (CHILDREN'S HOSPITALOF PENNSYLVANIA) Etiological models of anorexia nervosa (AN) often emphasizeweight/shapeconcerns as underlying restrictive eating. Yet, the frequency ofweight/shape concerns precipitating AN is unclear as well aswhether precipitating reasons affect treatment outcome. Weretrospectively coded reasons for onset in 338 adolescents withAN, finding less than one in three reporting weight/shape as aprecipitant of AN. Models and treatment for AN should shift awayfrom an over-emphasis on body image to better represent thispopulation. POSTER 57 CORRELATION BETWEEN WEALTH AND HAPPINESS JOSHUA PHILIP, JENNA RIEDER (THOMAS JEFFERSONUNIVERSITY) Happiness may be associated with greater wealth inundergraduates. 88 participants completed a questionnaire thatasked them about happiness and personal/family income. Thefindings suggest that there is an association between happinessand wealth as people tend to want to grow. The results highlighta slight correlation between happiness and wealth inundergraduates. POSTER 58 THE IMPACT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC ONCARETAKERS AND INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES CHRISTINA LEVI, MARY STONE (MARIST COLLEGE) The present study examined trends related to the effect of theCOVID-19 pandemic on individuals with developmentaldisabilities and their caretakers. Open-ended clinical interviewswere conducted to gather individual experiences of sevencaretakers. Interviews were analyzed for trends in experiences,from a phenomenological approach. Trends that emergedincluded caretaker feelings of guilt/fear, heightened anxietyobserved in individual(s) with disability, feeling unequipped to aidin speech/academic services, dissatisfaction with virtual services,and heightened caretaker stress.

SAMANTHA WILLOUGHBY, SANTALIZ GUALE-HILARIO,HALLIE LOTHROP, LEAH TANZMAN, MARY STONE (MARISTCOLLEGE) Mindfulness is an increasingly integrated concept in educationalsettings. This study evaluated the virtual delivery of a six-weekmindfulness workshop with adolescents attending virtualhomework help as part of an after-school drop-out preventionprogram. Pre- and post-workshop survey data suggest thatworkshop participants (n = 8) had a significant improvement intheir academic self-efficacy in comparison to controls (n = 7) whodemonstrated a non-significant decline in academic self-efficacyover the same time period. POSTER 60 WILLINGNESS TO PAY FOR SOCIAL EXPERIENCES: IMPACTS OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC PRIYA VERMA, MELANIE RUIZ (ADELPHI UNIVERSITY),PETER SOKOL-HESSNER (UNIVERSITY OF DENVER), DAVIDSMITH (TEMPLE UNIVERSITY), DOMINIC FARERI (ADELPHIUNIVERSITY) Social connection is critical for our well-being, yet COVID-19significantly impacted our social lives. We sought to quantify thedegree to which people value social experiences and the role ofthe pandemic on this process. 212 participants completedquestionnaires regarding COVID-19’s impact and adecision-making task assessing willingness-to-pay forsocial/non-social experiences. Participants’ willingness-to-pay forsocial experiences was negatively associated with self-reportedimpact of COVID-19, highlighting the influence of the pandemicon social valuation.

CHAIR: PATRICK DWYER (INDIANA UNIVERSITY LILLY

FAMILY SCHOOL OF PHILANTHROPY)

3:30pm - 3:45pm THE FOREST, TREES, AND LEAVES OF SOCIAL JUSTICEADVOCACY LAURA EGAN (ST. FRANCIS COLLEGE) Research shows that an intolerance for uncertainty, or thepotential for a negative event to happen, leads to a focusing ondetails rather than a big picture (“missing the forest for thetrees”). This may influence the ways in which people choose to

engage in social justice issues. The present study demonstratedthat uncertainty paralysis predicted greater community levelengagement in issues while a desire for predictability predictedgreater public policy and individual effort engagement. 3:50pm - 4:05pm THE IMPACT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON VOTINGINTENTION AND BEHAVIOR MAYSA DESOUSA (SPRINGFIELD COLLEGE) The coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) pandemic has significantlyimpacted the lives of individuals throughout the world, boththrough its devastating effects on health and through thepreventative measures taken to attempt to slow the transmissionof the disease. It is likely that the pandemic influenced intentionto vote and voting behavior in the recent 2020 U.S. PresidentialElection. This study aimed to identify the effects of the COVID-19pandemic on voting intention and behavior. 4:10pm - 4:25pm THE SURPRISE OF REACHING OUT: APPRECIATED MORETHAN WE THINK SOYON RIM (WILLIAM PATERSON UNIVERSITY OF NEWJERSEY), LAUREN MIN (THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSASSCHOOL OF BUSINESS), PEGGY LIU (THE UNIVERSITY OFPITTSBURGH JOSEPH M. KATZ GRADUATE SCHOOL OFBUSINESS), KATE MIN (WHEATON COLLEGE) People are fundamentally social beings and enjoy connectingwith others, yet may not accurately understand how much otherpeople value being reached out to. Across seven preregisteredstudies, we consistently found that initiators underestimated theextent to which responders appreciate their act of reaching out.This research identifies a robust tendency to underestimate howmuch others appreciate being reached out to and implicates adifferential focus on feelings of responder surprise as oneunderlying explanation. 4:30pm - 4:45pm PERSONALITY AND DONOR BEHAVIOR: WHO GIVES FORWHAT REASONS? PATRICK DWYER, CATHERINE LUCE (INDIANA UNIVERSITYLILLY FAMILY SCHOOL OF PHILANTHROPY) Individual donors play a critical role in nonprofit organizations’sustainability; thus, nonprofits should focus on what motivatesboth new and loyal donors to give. We conducted two studies toexamine the influence of donors’ personality traits, at both thedomain and facet levels, on their motives to donate. By showinghow the personalities of donors are linked to their givingmotivations, this research provides new insights that nonprofitscould employ to attract donations.

TEACHING KEYNOTE: KNOW BETTER, DO BETTER:PEDAGOGICAL SINS I NO LONGER COMMIT LINDSAY MASLAND (APPALACHIAN STATE UNIVERSITY) Teaching excellence is a career-long commitment. We neverarrive at the point when our reflection has concluded and ourteaching design is “done.” Looking back at old versions of oursyllabi or course webpages can invite cringe-filled reactions whenwe realize we’re no longer the teachers we once were. When wecritically reflect, we recognize that many common teachingpractices are in conflict with our pedagogical values. Byquestioning hegemonic assumptions common to teaching,examining the power structures in our classrooms, and applyingfindings from evidence-based research, we can align ourteaching choices with our deepest values.

CHAIR: JAMES BYRON NELSON

3:30pm - 3:45pm CONTEXT EFFECTS ON LATENT INHIBITION, SIGN ANDGOAL TRACKERS JAMES BYRON NELSON, ANTON NAVARRO, PAULA BALEA,MARIA DEL CARMEN SANJUAN (UNIVERSITY OF THEBASQUE COUNTRY (UPV/EHU)) Three experiments used eyetracking to examine visual attentionin a latent inhibition (LI) procedure in a video game. Participantslearned to activate weapons in the presence of attack-predictingsensors. Pre-exposure retarded acquisition. A context switchenhanced that effect in goal trackers, while LI was attenuated insign trackers. Results are discussed in terms of how sign andgoal tracker characteristics interact with demand characteristics. 3:50pm - 4:05pm DELAY AND TRACE CONDITIONING IN A HUMANPREDICTIVE LEARNING TASK ANDREW DELAMATER (BROOKLYN COLLEGE, CITYUNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK) Human participants associated different visually presented

shapes with probabilistically presented red or blue target colorsto which they were to respond differentially. Subsequently,participants rated their expectations of each target following eachshape cue. We varied the cue-target interval and contrasteddelay vs trace procedures. Learning was assessed with reactiontime, % correct, and explicit knowledge ratings of thecontingencies. Delay conditioning appears superior, thoughTrace conditioning may be more closely related to contingencyawareness. 4:10pm - 4:25pm SKIN CONDUCTANCE AND SHOCK EXPECTANCIES ASINDICES OF FEAR MEMORY STRENGTH GORDON HASKELL (CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORKGRADUATE CENTER) Little research has examined the relationship between SCR andshock expectancy as indices of memory strength for separatefear memories as well as the extent that these two measurescorrelate. We employed a Pavlovian paradigm, pairing two CS+swith a US while varying the number of learning trials for eachCS+. We provide evidence linking SCR and self-report duringacquisition showing that participants are effectively distinguishingbetween the differently acquired fear memories.



PSI CHI POSTERSFriday, March 4, 2022

3:30pm-4:50pm

POSTER 1 DIFFERENCES IN RESPONSE TO TETANY SYNDROMETREATMENTS IN THE PANAMANIAN GOLDEN FROG KALIAH WHITE, NEMAH SAEED, SEAN COYNE (NOTREDAME OF MARYLAND UNIVERSITY) We collaborated with the Maryland Zoo in Baltimore to evaluatetreatments for tetany syndrome. Tetatny syndrome is a disorderthat causes impairment in locomotor functioning. Theeffectiveness of four different treatments for the syndrome wereevaluated with age, body weight, and sex as covariants. Wefound that the most effective treatment was a combination ofvitamins and elctrolytes. POSTER 2 KNOWLEDGE, TRUST, AND PERCEPTIONS OF COLLEGESTUDENTS TOWARDS NEW TITLE IX AMANDA THOMAS, NANCY DORR (THE COLLEGE OF SAINTROSE) This study examined how knowledge of Title IX reportingrequirements, trust in handling sexual assault reports, andperceptions of recent Title IX changes impact the likelihood to

44

report an assault. College students completed self-reportmeasures. Results showed that knowledge, positive perceptionsof sexual assault policies, and trust all positively relate to thelikelihood to report an assault. The results of this study canshape future policy and dissemination of the policy. POSTER 3 LABELING OF STALKING VICTIMIZATION AND ATTRIBUTEDMEANING AMONG COLLEGE WOMEN SAGE SADAK, LARIEL L. YARRALL, CAROLINE C. COONEY,MACY L. DOWLA, SKYLAR R. MOROZ, EMMA E. O'REILLY,CHRISTINA M. DARDIS (TOWSON UNIVERSITY) The present study assessed stalking victimization among asample of college women whose experiences met the legaldefinition of stalking. How participants labeled and attributedmeaning to the victimization was of primary interest. On average,most women did not label their experiences as stalking. Resultssuggest that stalking frequency and prior intimate partnerviolence (IPV) significantly correlate with labeling, suggesting thatlabeling is contextualized by patterns of violence. POSTER 4 AN INVESTIGATION OF METACOGNITIVE MODELS OFFOOD ADDICTION CHLOE HESSLER, ASHLEY BORDERS (THE COLLEGE OFNEW JERSEY) The metacognitive model suggests that maladaptive repetitivethinking (rumination, desire thinking, etc.) can be perpetuated bymetacognitive beliefs, which may give rise to psychologicaldisorders. This study investigates two metacognitive models offood addiction, an understudied variable that is similar toaddictive disorders. While the metacognitive model of foodaddiction with rumination as the repetitive thinking process wassignificant, there was no support for a metacognitive model offood addiction with desire thinking. POSTER 5 THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON YOUNG ADULTS’SOCIOEMOTIONAL PERSPECTIVES SAMANTHA WALSH, EMMA KELLY (SALISBURYUNIVERSITY), KELLY JORDAN (UNIVERSITY OF MARYLANDEASTERN SHORE), GRETCHEN BEERNINK, JACK KAPUTA,DANYEL SANDERS, SARAH CURTIS (SALISBURYUNIVERSITY), MICHAEL PATTERSON (UNIVERSITY OFMARYLAND EASTERN SHORE), ECHO LEAVER, MEREDITHPATTERSON (SALISBURY UNIVERSITY) According to the Socioemotional Selectivity Theory (SST;Cartensen, 2006), when individuals perceive their time as limitedthere is an increased focus on meaningful emotion-related goals.College students completed surveys on COVID-19 impact,Meaning in Life Questionnaire, and Future Time PerspectiveScale (Steger, Frazier, Oishi, & Kaler, 2006; Carstensen andLang, 2002). Preliminary results indicate that increasedCOVID-19 related stress correlates with a decrease in future timeperspective and greater focus on meaningful goals.

POSTER 6 EMOTIONAL ABUSE, EMOTIONAL AVOIDANCE, ANDALCOHOL MISUSE ROWAN MCKIERNAN, MICHAEL MOORE (ADELPHIUNIVERSITY) Data from the 2019 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System,a nationally representative sample of 418.268 individuals, wereused to investigate the link between childhood emotional abuseand subsequent adult alcohol (mis)use. Results identified that theassociation between these two variables was statisticallysignificant and similar in magnitude to the association betweenchildhood parental (mis)use of alcohol and subsequent adultalcohol (mis)use. POSTER 7 ART INSTRUCTION AND STRESS LEVELS: MAKINGCREATIVE ART THERAPIES MORE ACCESSIBLE HOPE MCQUOID, MICHAEL ROY, EVAN SMITH(ELIZABETHTOWN COLLEGE) To better understand the field of Art Therapy, a study wasconducted to investigate if instruction type of an art based activityhad an impact on enjoyment and stress levels. A high stressinstruction type was compared to a low stress instruction typeduring an art intervention. It was found that the condition did notimpact enjoyment or stress levels, but instead both conditions ledto lowered stress levels and high reported enjoyment. POSTER 8 USING THE BIG FIVE TO ANALYZE POLYAMORY AND THEEXPERIENCE OF COMPERSION SYDNEY LEMIRE, RACHEL DINERO, EZRA WEGBREIT(CAZENOVIA COLLEGE) Within polyamory, which involves several partners participatingconsensually in non-monogamy, some experience a positivefeeling from seeing a partner's needs fulfilled by another, knownas compersion. Data was collected from 236 participants utilizingthe Big Five Inventory (John, Donahue, & Kentle, 1991) andcompersion questionnaires (Duma, 2009). Multiple significanceswere found, including polyamorous people are more agreeableand open, monogamous people are more neurotic, and jealousyand openness have an inverse relationship for polyamorouspeople. POSTER 9 TRUST IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH CALEB LINDER,KATLYN FARNUM (THE COLLEGE OF SAINTROSE) This study investigated perceptions of the Catholic Church andpresented participants with information on the ongoing discoveryof mass grave sites associated with Catholic-run schools inCanada. Participants were asked to report their religious

45

affiliation and report attitudes towards the catholic church beforeand after reading the aforementioned article. Results showed thatparticipants overall lost trust in the Church but this varied basedon their religious affiliation, gender, and type of religiosity. POSTER 10 AWARENESS ABOUT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ANDTRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY AMONG COLLEGE STUDENTS SHANNON CANNIZZARO (EAST STROUDSBURGUNIVERSITY) Our study sought to explore levels of awareness and perceptionsabout domestic violence (DV) and traumatic brain injury (TBI)among college students. Sixty-six college undergraduatescompleted surveys assessing the relevant variables. Resultsindicated a significant gender difference in the level ofawareness, with females being more aware than males. Overall,there was a positive correlation between awareness of DV andknowledge about possible indicators of TBI. Implications forhealth education are discussed. POSTER 11 NICOTINE, DELIVERED BY E-CIGARETTES, ANDTEMPORAL ASSESSMENT IN YOUNG ADULTS EMMA BISAILLON, ARI KIRSHENBAUM, MIA COOPER,AINSLEY KEATING (SAINT MICHAEL'S COLLEGE) The effect of nicotine, versus placebo, on temporal perceptionand reproduction was assessed using a DRL(differential-reinforcement-of-low-rate) schedule. College-agedstudents who qualified as “never-users” were administerednicotine doses of 0 or 12 mg through an e-cigarette device andtokens were used to reinforce inter-response times greater than9.5-s. The 12-mg dose of nicotine increased accuracy on theDRL task by narrowing response distributions closer to the DRLthreshold. POSTER 12 GUILT PERCEPTIONS AND RISK ASSESSMENT OFOFFENDERS HANNAH CURRAN, KATLYN FARNUM (THE COLLEGE OFSAINT ROSE) There are many misconceptions about psychopathy, which canhave potential impacts on defendants in the legal system. Thecurrent study manipulated gender of the defendant and whetherthey were labeled or described as a psychopath. For defendantsdescribed as a psychopath and perceived as a high risk, maledefendants were sentenced harsher than female defendants.When looking at gender alone, high risk male defendants werethought to be more treatable than high risk female defendants. POSTER 13 IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON K-12 TEACHERS IN THE2020-2021 SCHOOL YEAR MEGHAN KEENAN, VICTORIA VAUGHN, ELIZABETH DALTON

(ELIZABETHTOWN COLLEGE) The COVID-19 pandemic caused many changes and challengesfor K-12 teachers in the United States. The present study soughtto survey the stressors experienced by K-12 teachers, the impactof teachers’ job-related stress on their burnout, and factors suchas resiliency, coping styles, resources, and social support, thatmight buffer against the effects of stress on burnout. Overallfindings suggest teachers were feeling stress and burnoutdespite any coping skills and social support. POSTER 14 COVID-19 DISRUPTION OF COLLEGE AND PERCIEVEDACADEMIC STRESS RAFFAELA GUALTIERI, JENNA RIEDER (THOMASJEFFERSON UNIVERSITY) We investigated students' general perceived stress andacademic stress by learning modality. We found that studentswhose courses were in-person reported similar stress levels tothose who were taking courses online or in hybrid format. Overallstudent stress levels were moderate. Our results suggest thatcollege students have been resilient and have adapted to avariety of learning modalities during this difficult period ineducation. POSTER 15 EXERCISE AND MENTAL HEALTH IN COLLEGE STUDENTS;A CURVILINEAR RELATIONSHIP JESSICA CASAMASSA, JASON SIKORSKI, CAITLIN MURPHY(CENTRAL CONNECTICUT STATE UNIVERSITY) 777 college students were categorized based on theirself-reported levels of vigorous intensity exercise. Resultsrevealed that those who exercised the least experienced morenegative mental and physical health outcomes; however, some ofthose who exercised the most reported high stress levels. Futureresearch is needed to help identify when exercise becomescompulsive and potentially unhealthy. The use of observationaland other-informant report measures is advised to operationallydefine exercise dependency accurately. POSTER 16 ADDICTION, IMPULSIVITY, AND WORKING MEMORY KRISTINA VILLANTI, KIMERY LEVERING (MARIST COLLEGE) Impulsivity is believed to impact the transition from occasionalrisky behaviors to addiction. To explore the role of workingmemory in this relationship, a sample of students completedaddiction and impulsivity scales and a working memory task.Data showed the predicted relationship between impulsivity andaddiction, but working memory was not found to play a role.Future research is needed to better understand why some cancasually participate in vices while others cannot. POSTER 17 THE IMPACT OF INNOVATION AND MOTIVATION AMONG

46

COLLEGE STUDENTS CLAUDIA ODONNELL, IRINA KHUSID (EAST STROUDSBURGUNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA) TITLE: The Impact of Innovation and Motivation Among CollegeStudentsAUTHOR NAMES: Claudia O’Donnell, Dr. Irina Khusid

College students that are creative are more likely to be motivatedto participate in innovative activities. College students completeda questionnaire and responded accordingly as to how manytimes they have completed a specific creative activity. Questionsin the survey were either categorized as creative activities orcreative accomplishments. Research shows that there is apositive relationship between innovation, POSTER 18 ANALYZING THE EFFECT OF GENDER SPECIFIC ANXIETYSYMPTOMS ON PHYSICAL HEALTH CAITLIN MURPHY, JASON SIKORSKI, JESSICA CASAMASSA(CENTRAL CONNECTICUT STATE UNIVERSITY) 769 college-aged men and women were categorized based onwhether they were diagnosed with an anxiety disorder recently.Statistically significant results revealed that women diagnosedwith an anxiety disorder tended to report higher rates of comorbidphysical health concerns. Future research should focus onteaching those with anxiety disorders feasible coping strategiesto remedy anxiety symptoms in the moment and potentiallyprevent subsequent physical health consequences of anxiety. POSTER 19 THE ASSOCIATIONS BEHIND COLLEGEUNDERGRADUATES’ ATTITUDES SURROUNDING GENETICTESTING SOPHIA SALVATORE, JENNA RIEDER (THOMASJEFFERSON UNIVERSITY) Exposure to chronic illness and genetics knowledge ofundergraduates may influence attitudes surrounding genetictesting. 126 undergraduates completed a questionnaireassessing genetics understanding, experiences with chronicillness, and perceptions about genetic testing. Key findingssuggest regardless of major, college students hold strongpositive attitudes about genetic testing, comprehend geneticsconcepts, and trust the confidentiality of genetic test results.These results highlight a positive shift in awareness and supportbehind genetic testing within this specific demographic. POSTER 20 EXPLORING WORD PRIMING EFFECTS ON CLIMATECHANGE ATTITUDES NICHOLAS LEONARDO, SARA J.E. WONG-GOODRICH (IONACOLLEGE) The current study examined whether exposure to a list of words(neutral, emotionally positive, or heat-related) during a free recall

task would lead to differences in attitudes regarding climatechange in young adult men and women. Results did not show aneffect of word condition on climate change attitude scores.However, correlational analyses revealed that climate changeattitudes were positively associated with memory performance forheat-related words only. POSTER 21 CAPABLE AND COMPETENT: RELATIONSHIPCOMPETENCE’S ROLE POSITIVE AND NEGATIVERELATIONSHIP BEHAVIORS ANGELINA D'ACUNTO, GARY LEWANDOWSKI (MONMOUTHUNIVERSITY) This study examines how participants’ romantic competencerelates to key relationship behaviors. As hypothesized, romanticcompetence positively correlated with relationship quality andrelationship flourishing, and negatively correlated with jealousyand attention to alternatives. Romantic competence had nosignificant correlation with received support. These findingssuggest that greater romantic competency benefits relationshipsby facilitating positive behaviors while also minimizingproblematic behaviors. POSTER 22 MENTAL HEALTH STIGMA AND MENTAL HEALTHKNOWLEDGE IN ARAB AND SOUTH-ASIAN COMMUNITIES TASNEEM BURQAWI, SUNGHUN KIM (ST. FRANCISCOLLEGE) Past studies have suggested that high mental health stigma(MHS) is generally associated with low mental health knowledge(MHK). However, this relationship did not emerge among suchethnic groups as South and some East Asians or Arab societiesglobally. This study investigated if these findings apply toArab-American and South-Asian-American communities. Data (n= 122) suggests that MHS is unrelated to MHK, while education,age, and migration background have something to do with MHS. POSTER 23 COLLEGE STUDENT’S MORAL DECISIONS DURINGCOVID-19 PANDEMIC EMILY MORSE, GRACE PICONE, JESSICA PISCITELLI, MARYELHAKAM, LOGAN D'ANNA, JASMINE ODLE, YOKO TAKAGI(STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK AT ONEONTA) The current research offers a new insight into how collegestudents (N = 50, 18-23y) deal with interpersonal moraldilemmas. Participants had two waves of one-on-one onlineinterviews during the COVID-19 pandemic. Two moral dilemmaswere presented to each participant with a set of questions askingtheir decision on and moral issues involved in the dilemmas. Thefindings include young people’s tendency to oscillate theirpositions in their decisions and gender differences in decisionstyles. POSTER 24

47

INSTAGRAM AND PERCEPTIONS RILEY CAPPELLETTI, MADISON KAIFAS-STEINER, BRIDGETLYNCH (LE MOYNE COLLEGE) We used experimental methodology to examine how peoplerespond to Instagram. Existing literature relies on correlations,neglecting possible causal relationships. Using a 2(attainable -yes,no) by 2(similar - yes,no) design, participants (n=60) viewedprofiles before rating their motivation and self-esteem. Interimanalyses (Lakens, 2014) showed no interactions betweenattainability and similarity on motivation nor self-esteem. Mainand marginal effects as well as future directions and expandeddata collection will be discussed. POSTER 25 IRRATIONAL BELIEFS IN CURRENTLY STRESSEDCOLLEGE STUDENTS LAUREN MILISCI, CLAUDIA A. KEARNS, GABRIELLA M.FRONTERA, PHILIP M. DRUCKER, CAROLYN VIGORITO (ST.JOHN'S UNIVERSITY) College students completed the Depression, Anxiety and StressScale – 21 Items (DASS-21), the Revised Life Orientation Test(r-LOT), and the Abbreviated Survey of Personal Beliefs (SPB).Those who reported feeling stressed at the time of testing scoredhigher on irrational beliefs, 88% believed that stress wasunhealthy, and 64% believed that stress was never a positiveexperience for them. POSTER 26 DISPELLING FALSE BELIEFS: DEVELOPING CURRICULUMABOUT RACIAL HEALTH DISPARITIES ANDDISCRIMINATION ANALEA L. BLACKBURN, JANINE E. GOGGIN, JENNIFER M.DAVINACK (CLARKSON UNIVERSITY) Racism, oppression, and discrimination continue todayperpetrated, in part, by misinformation. In this theoretical project,we collected and synthesized information from the literatureabout false beliefs commonly held by healthcare professionalsabout biological differences between Black and white people thatlead to discriminatory behavior and health disparities. We will usethis curriculum as the content foundation for a pedagogicalinteractive simulation/game to reduce these false beliefs aboutBlack patients in pre-health students. POSTER 27 BELIEF IN ASTROLOGY IN RELATION TO THE SELF MARGARIDHA RIBEIRO (NAUGATUCK VALLEY COMMUNITYCOLLEGE), KIM O’DONNELL(NAUGATUCK VALLEYCOMMUNITY COLLEGE) Belief in astrology may be related to traits such as personalgrowth initiative and the big five personality traits. Sixtyparticipants completed psychometrics for these characteristics.Key findings suggest that extraversion and personal growthinitiative are positively related to belief in astrology while

openness is negatively related. These findings highlight theimportance of considering the influence of personality traits onone’s belief system and the impact of one’s belief system onindividual growth. POSTER 28 INVESTIGATING DECLARATIVE AND PROCEDURALMEMORY PERFORMANCE AFTER STATE ANXIETY TYLER YOUNG, GRANT GUTHEIL (NAZARETH COLLEGE) The present study investigated whether declarative or proceduralmemory is impaired more by state anxiety. Past literature hasstudied the effects of stress on these types of memoryindividually but not comparatively. Participants engaged in ananxiety task followed by a memory task. The results indicatedthat participants in the procedural memory groups performedsignificantly worse than those in declarative memory groups.However, there was no difference between anxiety groups or asignificant interaction. POSTER 29 PATIENT-DRIVEN IMAGERY AND PAIN SENSITIVITYINDICATORS IN A COLD-PRESSOR TASK MICHAEL ZELINKA (SAINT JOSEPH'S UNIVERSITY),ALEXANDER SKOLNICK (SAINT JOSEPH'S UNIVERISTY) The biopsychosocial model of pain emphasizes psychosocialfactors that influence pain outcomes. We tested the hypothesisthat patient-driven imagery as compared to lab-based imagerywould reduce? pain measures in Cold Pressor task. Significantexperimental condition effects were found for pain tolerance andthreshold, but not for changes in affect. Thus, pain reductionswere seen when participants used their own photos for imageryover a photo provided by the lab. POSTER 30 INFANTS’ MOVEMENTS AT NIGHT REFLECT CRAWLINGAND WALKING ONSET MARINA MORKOS, MICHELLE SAAD (COLLEGE OF STATENISLAND), JESSICA RODRIGUEZ GASCA (ARIZONA STATEUNIVERSITY), MICHELE GONCALVES MAIA (THEGRADUATE CENTER, THE CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEWYORK), SARAH BERGER (COLLEGE OF STATEN ISLAND),AARON DEMASI (THE GRADUATE CENTER, THE CITYUNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK) The reason motor skill acquisition disrupts infant sleep isunknown. The current study asks whether infants performskill-relevant movements at night in the crib. We showed thatupon the onset of crawling, infants prop up on hands-and-kneesand experience a decrease in frequency of nighttime wakeepisodes over both the acquisitions of crawling and walking.Infants may consolidate new motor skills by moving at night. POSTER 31 MASK WEARING, FACIAL ACNE AND FACIALATTRACTIVENESS IN THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

48

JESSICA SOUZA, JASON SEACAT (WESTERN NEWENGLAND UNIVERSITY) The current study examined the impact of sanitary facial masksand facial acne on participants’ ratings of facial attractiveness.Facial attractiveness has been demonstrated to have numeroussocial implications. A total of 117 undergraduate participantscompleted a demographic questionnaire and rated theattractiveness of 16 randomized facial images manipulated forthe presence of facial masks and acne. Results indicated facialmasks resulted in significantly higher ratings of attractivenesscompared to unmasked targets in all conditions. POSTER 32 THE EFFICACY OF VIRTUAL MINDFULNESS TRAINING ONUNDERGRADUATE TUTORS CLAIRE SIMONSEN, BLEONA ZENUNI, OLIVIA DECECCA,MARY STONE (MARIST COLLEGE) This study aimed to determine if asynchronous virtualmindfulness training is a viable way to impact uponundergraduate tutors’ self-efficacy, perceived stress, positiveaffect, and interpersonal relationships. Engagement in the onlinetraining was low, but changes in the participants’ mindfulawareness were significantly associated with changes in theirself-efficacy, perceived stress, positive affect, and interpersonalrelationships in the expected directions. Implications and futuredirections are discussed. POSTER 33 THE EFFECTS OF RACISM ON THE LEARNINGEXPERIENCE OF STUDENTS OF COLOR ZUMANA NOOR, JENNA RIEDER (THOMAS JEFFERSONUNIVERSITY) Students of Color face daily discrimination that can influence theirlearning experiences, academic stress, and mental health. Onehundred fifty-seven undergraduate college students completed aquestionnaire to assess these associations. Our results showedthat experiences of discrimination were correlated with poorerlearning and schooling experiences, higher academic stress, andpoorer mental health in both students of Color and Whitestudents. However, these correlations were stronger in studentsof Color. POSTER 34 COMPARING COVID COURSE CONTENT COURTNEY A. KEANE, ALEXANDRA A. SCATENA, CALEB B.BRAGG (CENTRAL CONNECTICUT STATE UNIVERSITY) This online survey examined student performance, quality ofcourse, and quality of instruction for in-person, onlinesynchronous, and asynchronous courses. Results showed thatin-person courses were statistically significantly (p’s > .05) higherin terms of student performance and student ratings of quality ofcourse and quality of instruction than online synchronous andasynchronous courses. This suggests that in-person modalities

are preferred over online courses and students perform better inthem. POSTER 35 VIRTUAL LEARNING EFFECTS ON COLLEGE STUDENTSPERFORMANCE DURING COVID-19 ANESHIA GREY, CARRIE DIMATTEO, YANNIE TEN BREOKE(TOURO COLLEGE) The Covid-19 pandemic abruptly transitioned higher educationstudents from in-class learning to virtual learning, introducingnew challenges with academic performance, concentration,mood, and attention. Seven college students participated in thisstudy to compare an engaging versus non-engaging lectureconducted on Zoom to test these effects. As predicted, studentsreported learning more and feeling better during the moreengaging lecture on Zoom. These results improve understandingof the challenges students face in virtual learning. POSTER 36 THE PHENOMENON OF PLURALISTIC IGNORANCE WITHINENVIRONMENTAL ATTITUDES MIA PURCELL, JEFFERY ASPELMEIER, RHYS LAFON(RADFORD UNIVERSITY) An examination of pluralistic ignorance (PI) within attitudes aboutthe environment included 180 college students who completedmeasures of environmental attitudes and social desirability.Participants rated their personal environmental attitudes higherthan those of their friends and the average student at theiruniversity, a pattern of PI. Social desirability did not moderatedifferences in self and other ratings of environmental attitudes,which potentially rules out social desirability as an alternativeexplanation for the study findings. POSTER 37 THE TEMPORAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DEPRESSIVESYMPTOMS AND SELF-RATED HEALTH ACROSSADULTHOOD VERONIKA KOBRINSKY, AHANG LEQOLA, JORDAN SERGIO,KAREN SIEDLECKI (FORDHAM UNIVERSITY) The current study is the first to examine the temporal relationshipbetween self-rated health and depressive symptoms usingcross-lagged panel analysis in a sample that spans adulthood(ages 18-93). Using data from Virginia Cognitive Aging Projectwe found that the temporal relationship between depressivesymptoms and health is bidirectional, and age does notsignificantly moderate the relationship. These findings provideevidence that self-rated health and depressive symptomsinfluence each other reciprocally over time across adulthood. POSTER 38 PERSONAL STIGMA AND MENTAL HEALTHTREATMENT-SEEKING ABRAHAM DEITSCH (TOURO COLLEGE)

49

This study tested the hypothesis that people who experienceincreased personalization with mental illness, will feel moredeeply stigmatized, and become less likely to seek mental healthtreatment. 69 college students responded to situationsmanipulated to evoke greater and lesser degrees ofpersonalization by alternating the subject of the scenarios from“you” to “other”. Results found that when personalization wasincreased, students reported being less likely to seek mentalhealth treatment. POSTER 39 PSYCHOSOCIAL ISSUES IN LOW-INCOME PARENTS ANDITS IMPACT ON OBESITY LESLIE LIGIER, LAUREN FOWLER, DENISE E. WILFLEY,ANGELA HARDI (WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY IN ST. LOUIS) This systematic review provides insight into the role of parentalpsychosocial issues (e.g., depression, anxiety, food insecurity,and affectivity) on parental feeding and child weight outcomes. 12 peer-reviewed journal articles were eligible and demonstratedthat psychosocial issues in parents were significantly associatedwith non-responsive feeding practices. The observednon-responsive feeding tactics were significantly associated withgreater child BMI and negative child diet quality. POSTER 40 SOCIAL REACTIONS EFFECTS ON COPING STRATEGIESAMONG VICTIMS OF CAMPUS SEXUAL ASSAULT KAYLA MCNERNY, JOANNA HERRES (THE COLLEGE OFNEW JERSEY) Supportive reactions to sexual assault (SA) may help victimsdevelop positive coping strategies. Seventy college studentsendorsed a history of SA and completed measures evaluatingsocial reactions to SA and their use of coping strategies. Patternsof correlations show that positive reactions are associated withthe use of active coping strategies, while negative socialreactions are associated with the use of avoidant copingstrategies. These findings illustrate the importance of disclosuresfor coping with SA. POSTER 41 MEDIA PORTRAYALS AND MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUTSCHIZOPHRENIA AND DISSOCIATIVE IDENTITY DISORDER KAITLYN MCHALE, DAKOTA HORNAK, LEILANI MCFADDEN,M.L. KLOTZ (SUSQUEHANNA UNIVERSITY) Beliefs about mental illness may be formed through exposure tofilms depicting mental disorders, which often portray inaccurate,negative stereotypes and may contribute to the development ofmisconceptions. Our 100 participants rated a list of filmsdepicting schizophrenia or dissociative identity disorder (DID),indicating whether they'd seen the film and what disorder wasportrayed. The number of films viewed was not correlated withmisconceptions about the disorders, but participants were moreaccurate in identifying DID.

POSTER 42 WHEN INSPIRATION TURNS TOXIC: THE EFFECTS OFTOXIC POSITIVITY AND THE ANGELINA D'ACUNTO, ANTHONY BULZOMI, JAMIEGOODWIN (MONMOUTH UNIVERSITY) This study examines how participants’ trauma backgrounds andhistory of invalidation can play a role in how they perceivevalidating versus invalidating “inspirational” messages.Participants completed questionnaires assessing level of traumaand history of invalidation, were exposed to the messages, thenrated their reaction. The findings suggest that individuals whoexperienced trauma are more prone to historical invalidation.This invalidation was a major predictor for a negative response toquotes of invalidating toxic positivity. POSTER 43 A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO COMBATING STEREOTYPETHREAT IN STEM AMONG ELEMENTARY CHILDREN TIFFANY BERRY, HOPE TIBONI, SAAID MENDOZA(PROVIDENCE COLLEGE) Past research has established that concerns about beingnegatively stereotyped can impact the academic performance ofmarginalized groups. These stereotype threat effects may bemoderated by factors such as a sense of belonging, personalidentity, grit, and growth mindset. We integrate these approachesto promote success within STEM-interested children, particularlyyoung girls. Specifically, we propose a practical toolkit that canbe used in elementary schools as a theory-driven holisticintervention for mitigating stereotype threats. POSTER 44 MENTAL HEALTH CONSEQUENCES OF VARYING TYPESOF SEXUAL VIOLENCE VICTIMIZATION IN WOMEN RACHEL CURCIO, JASON SIKORSKI, ABIGAIL LARKIN(CENTRAL CONNECTICUT STATE UNIVERSITY) 386 participants were categorized based on their self-reportedhistory of sexual assault victimization. Results revealeddifferences in mental health symptoms and coping skills utilizedby women who were sexually assaulted by being touched withoutconsent and women who were sexually assaulted throughattempted or completed sexual penetration. Varying therapeuticmethodologies should be pursued for victims with varying needsand more complex statistical methodologies should be used todifferentiate and treat sexual assault victims. POSTER 45 LIBERALS REPORT TAKING MORE AND CONSERVATIVESREPORT TAKING FEWER COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS CAIO HUMMEL HOHL, CAROLINE CHOVANES, SCOTTMORGAN (DREW UNIVERSITY) This study investigated whether self-reported COVID-19precautions and estimates of others’ precautions differed as a

50

function of political orientation. MTurk participants (N=333)reported their own precautions, beliefs about others’ precautions,and political orientation. Liberals reported taking far moreprecautions than they believed others were taking, participantswho were not politically identified reported taking slightly moreprecautions than they believed others were taking, andconservatives reported taking fewer precautions than theybelieved others were taking. POSTER 46 INVESTIGATING MODALITY EFFECTS ON SHORT-TERMMEMORY AND SERIAL RECALL KARIME RINCON, LISAMARIE TREZZA, HELENA BRANKOVIC(ST. FRANCIS COLLEGE) The purpose of our study was to investigate the modality andinverse modality effect and find a combined modality effect onmemory. Previous research has found advantages in serial recallusing different presentation modes. Participants were 52 collegestudents who completed recall tasks with auditorily, visually, andauditorily/visually presented words. Based on our findings wewere able to replicate the inverse modality effect and find anadvantage in serial recall using an auditory/visual presentationmode. POSTER 47 LIBERALS MORALIZE COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS ANDVACCINES MORE THAN CONSERVATIVES CASSIDY CONKLIN, KAYLA ANTHONY, G. SCOTT MORGAN(DREW UNIVERSITY) This study investigated whether moralization of COVID-19precautions and moralization of COVID-19 vaccines differed as afunction of political orientation. MTurk participants (N = 333)reported their political orientation and the degree to which theirbeliefs about Covid-19 precautions and vaccines were groundedin moral conviction (i.e., beliefs about fundamental right andwrong). Liberals reported moralizing precautions and vaccinesmore than conservatives and individuals who were not politicallyidentified. POSTER 48 15 SECONDS TO OBJECTIFY: TIKTOK DANCES INCREASEEXTERNAL VIEW OF SELF ALEXANDRA SCHEER (NAZARETH COLLEGE) Past research has indicated clear links between social media andself-objectification, however no research has been done withTikTok. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact ofwatching TikToks of girls with thin-idealized body types and plussize body types on an state self-objectification. Findings indicatedviewing young women with plus size bodies, but notthin-idealized bodies, elicited greater self-objectification than thecontrol. POSTER 49 THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON THE PREVALENCE OF

PSYCHOPATHOLOGY IN COLLEGE STUDENTS. GABRIELLA COBOS, KARENA RUSH, RACHEL MACINTYRE(MILLERSVILLE UNIVERSITY) Research suggests that COVID has had a negative impact onmental health (Hussong et al., 2021). The purpose of this studywas to examine the prevalence of psychological disorders duringCOVID in college students. Students completed surveysregarding the prevalence of psychological disorders before andduring COVID. Results indicated a high prevalence ofpsychological disorders pre-COVID and an increase in diagnosesduring COVID. The high prevalence pre-COVID and the impactof COVID are discussed. POSTER 50 COVID-19 VACCINE HESITANCY AND CHILDHOOD TRAUMAIN HEALTHCARE WORKERS CELIA CHRISTENSON, JENNA RIEDER (THOMASJEFFERSON UNIVERSITY) In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccine hesitancy hasbecome a prominent issue, and remaining unvaccinated isparticularly risky for healthcare workers. We investigated therelationship between vaccine hesitancy and childhood trauma inhealthcare workers and non-healthcare workers. We observedhigh levels of vaccination in our sample of adults who reportedrelatively low trauma exposure. However, our results did notsupport our hypothesis that vaccine hesitancy and childhoodtrauma would correlate. POSTER 51 PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY AND TRUST PREDICTEDSTUDENTS’ MENTAL HEALTH DURING COVID-19QUARANTINING LILY SHORNEY, COLETTE SACHS, CHRIS BOYATZIS(BUCKNELL UNIVERSITY) COVID-19 caused students to quarantine at home in early 2020,a disruption linked to students’ mental health. We investigated118 first-year students’ reports of anxiety and loneliness whenthe quarantine began during their last months of high school.Regressions indicated that students’ sense of psychologicalsafety at home and trust in their fathers (but not mothers)predicted significantly lower anxiety, and psychological safety athome and trust in fathers and mothers predicted lower loneliness. POSTER 52 CONSPIRACY THEORIES: IMPLICATIONS FOR POLITICALINTERGROUP ANTIPATHY AND POLITICAL VIOLENCE EMILY J BROWN, ALISON A CLABAUGH (ARCADIAUNIVERSITY) We investigated the effects of exposure to conspiracy theoriesand anti-conspiracy theories (i.e., information directly refutingconspiracies) on participants’ belief, perceptions of politicaloutgroup malevolence, and the endorsement of political violence.Results showed that participants believed conspiracies

51

implicating a political outgroup more than conspiraciesimplicating their political ingroup. Further, participants identifyingas politically conservative endorsed political violence more thanliberals when reading a conspiracy theory. This effect wasamplified when reading an anti-conspiracy theory. POSTER 53 GENDER DIFFERENCES IN WORKING MEMORYASSESSMENTS SARINA PETERS, KIMERY LEVERING (MARIST COLLEGE) The current study explores the discrepancy between actual andperceived performance on a variety of working memory tasks in asample of college students. Across participants, correlationsbetween self-assessment and performance were found for alltasks. However, for verbal working memory and executivefunctioning, this relationship was significant for women but not formen. Implications of this and possible other differences inlearning between genders are discussed.

HISTORY OF PSYCHOLOGY SYMPOSIUM: PSYCHOLOGY'SHISTORICAL ENTANGLEMENTS WITH RACISM


CHAIR: CHRISTOPHER GREEN

PSYCHOLOGY’S HISTORICAL ENTANGLEMENTS WITHRACISM Psychology, like much of the rest of society, has now reached amoment of reckoning with respect to its historical participation inand complicity with racism. In this symposium, the speakersexamine and discuss three aspects of this important topic. JohnP. Jackson, Jr. investigates the roots of Arthur Jensen’s accountsof population genetics in language that was used by racist andwhite supremacist organizations, despite Jensen’s denials of thisat the time. Cathy Faye discusses the APA’s recent apology forits complicity in racism and the process by which the “HistoricalReview of Psychology’s Harms to People of Color” thataccompanied the apology came into being. Christopher D. Greenrecounts one important effort by Black scientists and scholars tofight back against the “race science” of the early 20th centurywith their own counter-evidence and argument.

LEARNING/BEHAVIORAL NEUROSCIENCE POSTERSFriday, March 4, 2022

5:00pm-6:20pm

POSTER 1 THE ANALGESIC EFFECTS OF CAFFEINE ED SCHICATANO, KALYN LASH, GEORGE JAMES (WILKESUNIVERSITY) Caffeine (250 mg) has been shown to reduce pain perception.The present experiment tested the hypothesis that caffeine (100mg) also produced analgesia using the cold pressor test. Participants either were given either 100 mg of caffeine orplacebo, and 20 minutes later were assessed for pain detection,tolerance and perception in the cold pressor test. The resultsshow that caffeine slowed down pain detection and increasedpain tolerance. POSTER 2 INFLUENCES ON SPONTANEOUS RECOVERY OFEXTINCTION CUE-CS INTERVAL DURING EXTINCTION ANDTESTING CODY BROOKS, CLARA LOGAN (DENISON UNIVERSITY) Rats conditioned and extinguished with a conditioned stimulus(CS) that signaled food were tested for spontaneous recovery 6days following extinction. Extinction was cued by an extinctioncue (EC) programmed at either a 40s or 120s EC-CS interval.Testing also used either a 40s or 120s EC-CS interval, factoriallymanipulated with the interval of extinction. Similar spontaneousrecovery resulted in all four conditions, with pilot researchsuggesting each cue reduced spontaneous recovery, andsimilarly. POSTER 3 SPONTANEOUS RECOVERY CAN BE PREVENTED BYEXTENDED EXTINCTION PLUS A REMINDER CUE EMMA TRACY, CODY BROOKS (DENISON UNIVERSITY) Rats conditioned and extinguished with a conditioned stimulus

(CS) that signaled food showed no spontaneous recovery 6 daysfollowing cued extinction when tested with the extinction cuefollowing an extended extinction phase, which was 6 times asmany cued CS- trials as the standard extinction procedure. Thecombination of extinction cue testing and massive cued extinctionprevented spontaneous recovery. POSTER 4 EXPLORING GENERALIZATIONS GRADIENTS WITH DELAYAND TRACE CONDITIONING PROCEDURES IN PREDICTIVELEARNING JOSÉ A. ALCALÁ (UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM), JESSICAC. LEE (UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES SYDNEY),GONZALO P. URCELAY (UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM) Two experiments explored the effect of delay vs trace procedureson generalization gradients. Groups experienced strong (delaygroups) or weak (trace groups) temporal contiguity between cuesand outcomes in a differential training design (an aqua cue wasreinforced). After training, several stimuli restricted to blue-greendimension were tested. We observed broader generalizationgradients for outcome expectancy when temporal contiguity wasdegraded, but only when a continuous-learning task was used,and not a discrete-trial procedure. POSTER 5 STRESS AND ESTROGEN INFLUENCES ON SPONTANEOUSRECOVERY OF A CONDITIONED TOUCHSCREENRESPONSE SRINIDHI GOPAL, BRISA RASMUSSEN, OLGA LIPATOVA(CHRISTOPHER NEWPORT UNIVERSITY) The present study was designed to assess the role of stress andestrogen in response inhibition. Thirty-two ovariectomized femalerats were trained to make a nose-poke response to a visualstimulus presented on a touchscreen. Following acquisitiontraining, the touchscreen response was extinguished. Acuterestraint stress prior to the behavioral test two-weeks afterextinction, decreased spontaneous recovery of the touchscreenresponse in both control and estrogen-treated ovariectomizedfemale rats, compared to non-stressed groups. POSTER 6 EYE-TRACKING STUDY INVESTIGATING THE EFFECT OFENCODING ON FORCED-CHOICE RECOGNITION NICOLAUS PARKS, RYAN EAKINS, LESLIE ROLLINS(CHRISTOPHER NEWPORT UNIVERSITY) We examined whether eye movements at encoding explainednon-corresponding lure and target (A-B’) discrimination on theforced-choice Mnemonic Similarity Task. We hypothesized morefixations to the A than the B stimulus if discrimination wassupported by familiarity or recall-to-accept processing and theopposite if supported by recall-to-reject processing. Replicatingprevious research, inaccuracy was associated with more fixationsto the B than the A stimulus; however, findings did not vary withthe subjective memory judgment.

POSTER 7 THE PERCEPTION OF FREE WILL IN A FORCED CHOICETASK STEPHANIE SPIVAK (MONTCLAIR STATE UNIVERSITY),VANESSA MARTINEZ, NATHIRA AHMAD, KITTY PAGANO,JULIAN KEENAN, RAY NUNEZ CASTANEDA (UNDEFINED) While it is common to think that individuals have a significantdegree of freewill, research indicates that this may not be thecase. Here we applied Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)while participants made a simple preference choice. First, wefound that TMS influenced one’s choice of preference. Second,participants did not have insight into the influence of TMS andinstead derived justifications for their choices. These dataindicate the fragility of freewill. POSTER 8 GAZE-TRACKING INTEGRATED IN IMMERSIVE VIRTUALREALITY TO STUDY HUMAN SPATIAL LEARNING JUAN M. ROSAS, JESUS MORENO, JUAN M. JURADO, J.ROBERTO JIMENEZ-PEREZ, JOSE E. CALLEJAS-AGUILERA(UNIVERSITY OF JAEN) Two spatial learning experiments explored the validity of a taskthat integrates gaze tracking in an immersive virtual realitysystem by implementing an adaptable software to virtual realityglasses. Experiment 1 evaluated whether the task was sensitiveto detect acquisition of simple spatial learning. Experiment 2explored both acquisition and interference treatments. The taskopens a wide range of possibilities to study spatial learning inhuman beings in ecological by highly controlled settings. POSTER 9 SOCIAL STATUS AND HEALTH PERCEPTIONS AMONGAFRICAN AMERICAN ADULTS JULES HARRELL, NAILAH DAVIS, ALYSA HERRERA TAYLOR,ELAN DONNELLAN, CLIVE CALLENDER, ALFONSOCAMPBELL (HOWARD UNIVERSITY) Self perceptions of general health are expected to improve withincreased social status and mobility. The extent to which thisholds among Africa American men and women was assessed. We studied the relationship between health perceptions andeducational attainment and income. For African Americanwomen, health perceptions improved with higher levels of incomeor educational levels. No relationship between social status andhealth perceptions resulted for men. POSTER 10 IMPACT OF ESTROUS CYCLE ON OPIOID AND SUCROSECRAVING IN FEMALE RATS CINDY LAM, HANNAH MAYBERRY, PRIYA DOSHI, HEATHERDESALVO, CHARLOTTE BAVLEY, SYDNEY FAMULARO,SARA DOWNEY, MATHIEU WIMMER (TEMPLE UNIVERSITY) Despite treatments for opioid use disorder, relapse remains

highly prevalent. Drug-paired cues elicit strong urges to resumedrug use (craving), which intensify throughout abstinence(“incubation of craving”). For psychostimulants such as cocaine,hormonal fluctuations in females influence the intensity of cravingduring abstinence. We demonstrate that craving for opioids andnatural rewards (sucrose) is not modulated by hormonal levels infemales. POSTER 11 EXAMINING DIFFERENCES IN THE BEHAVIORAL PROFILEASSOCIATED WITH SUCROSE VERSUS OPIOID CRAVING PRIYA DOSHI, HANNAH MAYBERRY, CINDY LAM, HEATHERDESALVO, CHARLOTTE BAVLEY, SYDNEY FAMULARO,SARA DOWNEY, MATHIEU WIMMER (TEMPLE UNIVERSITY) Drug craving is subjective and difficult to define. Studying cravingis crucial as it is a diagnostic criterion for substance use disorder.Male and female rats underwent ten days of intravenous heroinor oral sucrose self-administration to measure reward seekingand addiction-related behaviors in response to cue re-exposureduring abstinence. Results suggest that behavioral signaturesassociated with craving were sex- and reinforcer-specific. Thesefindings lay the foundation to study the neural mechanismsunderlying opioid craving. POSTER 12 EXAMINING COPING SKILL UTILIZATION OF PEOPLE WITHABI DURING COVID-19 AMY RANSOHOFF BRISSON (NEW YORK UNIVERSITY),GERALD T VOELBEL, GRACE J KIM, HAYEJIN KIM, YAELGOVEROVER, MICHELLE CHEN, AMANDA BOTTICELLO,SYDNEY VOELBEL, HELEN GENOVA (UNDEFINED) Adults with an acquired brain injury (ABI), who utilized learnedcoping skills were compared to adults with an ABI who did notutilized coping skills during the beginning of the COVID-19pandemic. The Coping Group reported greater resilience,perceived benefits, use of adaptive coping techniques, andhigher social support when compared with the Non-CopingGroup. The stress of dealing with the pandemic hasdemonstrated that adults with an ABI need greater coping skillsdevelopment. POSTER 13 STRESS AND RENEWAL: RELATIONSHIP BETWEENPERCEIVED STRESS AND RENEWAL, AN ONLINEEXPERIMENT. BORJA NEVADO BARGADOS (UNIVERSIDAD DEL PAÍSVASCO / EUSKAL HERRIKO UNIBERTSITATEA (UPV/EHU)),JAMES BYRON NELSON (UNIVERSIDAD DEL PAÍS VASCO /EUSKALHERRIKO UNIBERTSITATEA (UPV/EHU)) One experiment examined the relationship between acquisition,extinction, and renewal measures with the Perceived StressScale-10 [PSS-10 (Cohen & Williamson, 1988)]. Onlineparticipants completed the scale and then underwentconditioning, extinction, and renewal testing in a video-gamemethod. PSS-10 scores were positively related to levels of

54

renewal [r (68) = .252; p = .038] but not with measuressummarizing conditioning or extinction. Results are discussedwith respect to findings that suggest stress impairs renewal. POSTER 14 NEURAL AND BEHAVIOURAL ANALYSES OFRETROSPECTIVE AND PROSPECTIVE FEAR DILARA GOSTOLUPCE, BELINDA LAY, MIHAELAIORDANOVA (CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY) Using an animal model we investigated the underlyingbehavioural and neural mechanisms of retrospective (sensorypreconditioned) and prospective (second-order) fear. Inactivationof lateral orbitofrontal cortex disrupted fear to retrospective cuesbut enhanced fear to prospective cues. Moreover, projectionsfrom this region to the basolateral amygdala which is involved infear encoding and expression disrupted only retrospective fearbut the reverse pathway disrupted both types of fear. POSTER 15 DETERMINANTS OF EXTINCTION DENNIS ELENGICKAL (STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEWYORK-BINGHAMTON), JAMES WITNAUER (STATEUNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK-BROCKPORT), ROBINMURPHY, SANTIAGO CASTIELLO (UNIVERSITY OFOXFORD), RALPH MILLER (STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEWYORK-BINGHAMTON) The probabilities of an outcome given a cue, and of the cue sansoutcome, influence association ratings between the cue andoutcome. After pairings, presentations of the cue without theoutcome (i.e., extinction treatment), reduce ratings. We used arapid-streamed trial training and extinction procedure withhumans to examined effectiveness of cumulative frequency andcumulative duration of extinction trials. Results indicatedextinction is influenced far more by cumulative frequency thancumulative duration of extinction trials. POSTER 16 AM I MY POLITICS, RELIGION, BOTH, OR NEITHER? ATRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC VANESSA MARTINEZ, KITTY PAGANO, NATHIRA AHMAD,RAY NUNEZ CASTANEDA, STEPHANIE SPIVAK, JULIANKEENAN (MONTCLAIR STATE UNIVERSITY) Previous research has shown that one’s political and religiousbeliefs are a part of the larger umbrella of the self, which appearsto be mediated by the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). InhibitoryTranscranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was applied to themPFC (and control regions). It was found that politicalendorsements were reduced overall, and there was a correlationthat indicated the stronger the belief the greater the reduction.Religious endorsements were not significantly reduced. POSTER 17 THE POTENTIAL ROLE OF THE MEDIAL PREFRONTALCORTEX IN SELF-DECEPTION & AFFECT

RAY NUNEZ CASTANEDA, NATHIRA AHMAD, VANESSAMARTINEZ, JULIAN PAUL KEENAN (MONTCLAIR STATEUNIVERSITY) The Medial Prefrontal Cortex (MPFC) is responsible forself-referential processing including self-deception. It is possiblethat self-deception in the MPFC serves as an antidepressantbuffer. TMS was applied to the MPFC and it both decreasedpositive affect while also lowering self-deception. These dataindicate that the MPFC may employ self-deception to minimizedepressive affect. POSTER 18 THE NKI-ROCKLAND SAMPLE CORONAVIRUS EXTENSIONSTUDY - CORONAVIRUS HEALTH IMPACT SURVEY ANNA MACKAY-BRANDT, SAMANTHA HUTCHINSON,KRISTIN TRAUTMAN (NATHAN KLINE INSTITUTE),ALYXANDRA BARTOLOVICH (UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA,SAN DEIGO), SIMRAN SHAH (UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS ATAUSTIN), NICOLE BAKER (NATHAN KLINE INSTITUTE),STEPHEN SY (UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, LOSANGELES), JOYCE YIP, SARAH FAN, MARIA XU, STANCOLCOMBE (NATHAN KLINE INSTITUTE) The NKI-Rockland Sample (NKI-RS) coronavirus extension isdetailing environmental and individual factors that may promoteresilience to the mental health impacts of pandemic-relatedstressors. In April 2020, we invited participation in an earlyimplementation of the Coronavirus Health Impact Survey(CRISIS; Nikolaidis et. al, 2021) to our NKI-RS participants whohave contributed pre-pandemic neuroimaging and extensivepsycho/socio/bio phenotyping. Adding pandemic-related datacollected contemporaneously with the emerging pandemic,enriches this open-science data resource. POSTER 19 A DOMINANCE HIERARCHY IN CAPTIVE PAINTED TURTLES(CHRYSEMYS PICTA) ALICE POWERS, CASSIDY HU, JUSTIN KOPROWSKI (STONYBROOK UNIVERSITY) Dominance hierarchies have been described in many animals,but little work has been done in turtles. We studied a group of 5turtles housed together in our laboratory. Their feeding behaviorwas recorded three times a week on video and analyzed fordominance behaviors: biting and mounting. The results showedthat all turtles engaged in those behaviors, but some did soconsistently more than others, providing evidence of dominance. POSTER 20 DELINEATING AFFECTIVE STATES DURING DRUGCRAVING IN MALE AND FEMALE RATS HEATHER DESALVO, CAMRYN KRUMBHAAR, GAURAVSHINDE, HANNAH MAYBERRY, MATHIEU WIMMER (TEMPLEUNIVERSITY) Incubation of craving refers to the intensification of drug seeking

55

caused by re-exposure to drug-associated cues over prolongedabstinence. Measuring drug craving is difficult because it is asubjective experience. Intense affective states often accompanycraving in humans, but rodent affective states during incubationof craving are not well defined. We recorded ultrasonicvocalizations (USVs) during cue tests to elucidate affective statesin rodents during incubation of craving. POSTER 21 GOT GLIA?: RESCUING MYELINATION IN A MODEL OFFETAL ALCOHOL SPECTRUM DISORDERS GILLIAN LEBLANC, KATRINA MILBOCKER, ERIC BRENGEL,ANNA KLINTSOVA (UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE) Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and immunocytochemistry wereused to explore the therapeutic potential of exercise interventionto mitigate damage to corpus callosum in a rodent model of fetalalcohol spectrum disorders. Neuroimaging findings show thatvolume and myelination are reduced in adolescent corpuscallosum after neonatal alcohol exposure. Myelin basic proteindensitometry reveals no changes in myelin content inadolescence regardless of treatment/intervention, however itincreases faster in the female brain irrespective of postnataltreatment. POSTER 22 LATERALIZATION AND CELL PHONE USAGE RICHARD CONTI, JOSEPH PRECKAJLO, OSCAR KOSECKI(KEAN UNIVERSITY), MELANIE CONTI (SAINT ELIZABETHUNIVERSITY) The present study examined hemispheric lateralization andelectronics usage. Participants completed a handednessinventory and a questionnaire on cell phone usage (ear usedwhen talking, hand used when swiping or holding phone to watcha video) created for the purposes of this study. Consistent withprevious research, both left- and right-handed participantsreported using the dominant hand/ear when using the phone.However, mixed-handed participants reported having nopreference and using either hand/ear equally. POSTER 23 DIFFICULTY APPRAISAL'S EFFECT ON READINGCOMPREHENSION IN ADHD KATLIN KAUB, AUDREY WEIL (WASHINGTON COLLEGE) We investigated how framing/appraisal of difficulty impactsreading comprehension in college students withAttention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). We found thatframing the difficulty of short texts as either “hard” or “easy” didnot impair the reading comprehension ability in participants withADHD. Additionally, participants with ADHD performed just aswell as those without ADHD. POSTER 24 ACUTE EXERCISE REDUCES CAUTIOUS BEHAVIOR AMIDSTRESS AND UNCERTAINTY IN RATS

BRANDON MOORE, JANAE DAVIS, TIMOTHY SCHOENFELD(BELMONT UNIVERSITY) Exercise reduces stress physiology and behavior, but moststudies look at chronicexercise effects only. Here, rats were exposed to an acutestressor followed byacute access to running wheel before behavior testing. Rats whoran haddecreased anxiety-like behavior and quicker decision-makingduring stress andambiguous trials, suggesting that acute exercise biases ratstowards quicker andmore confident behavioral decisions. POSTER 25 TOXOPLASMOSIS, AGGRESSION, AND RISK-TAKINGBEHAVIOR JOSEPH PRECKAJLO, RICHARD CONTI (KEAN UNIVERSITY),JACQUELINE ARNONE (STOCKTON UNIVERSITY) Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) is a neurotropic protozoan parasitelinked with impulsivity and aggression in both psychiatric andnon-psychiatric populations. The present study examined therelationship between exposure to toxoplasmosis aggression, andrisk taking behavior in college students. Participants completed ademographic questionnaire, a measure of aggression, and a risktaking behavior scale. No differences were found betweenexposure to toxoplasmosis and either aggression or risk takingbehavior. POSTER 26 VIOLATION OF SCALAR PROPERTY WHEN TRACKINGTEMPORAL SINE WAVES MARGARET ZHONG (BARNARD COLLEGE OF COLUMBIAUNIVERSITY, NEW YORK STATE PSYCHIATRIC INSTITUTE),CARTER DANIELS (NEW YORK STATE PSYCHIATRICINSTITUTE), PETER BALSAM (BARNARD COLLEGE OFCOLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, NEW YORK STATE PSYCHIATRICINSTITUTE) Interval timing is scalar invariant: mean and variance track theinterval resulting in a constant coefficient of variation (CV). Tosee if this is true in dynamic timing tasks, three groups of micewere trained to track a temporal sine-wave, with a 20-, 40-, or60-s base fixed-interval (FI) with swings of ±15s, ±30s, or ±45s.Breakpoints were proportional to the FI, but variance plateauedat longer FIs, resulting in decreasing CV at longer intervals. POSTER 27 THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TESTOSTERONE,EMPATHY, AND FACE PREFERENCE IN WOMEN ALEXANDRIA FICARRO, TIMOTHY SCHOENFELD (BELMONTUNIVERSITY) Despite a focus on males, both prenatal and circulatingtestosterone in females influences empathy levels and sexual

56

attraction. To further investigate this, we conducted acorrelational study comparing prenatal testosterone (throughfinger digit ratios), salivary testosterone, empathy, and attractionpreference for masculine features in faces among young females(N = 49). Unlike previous studies, neither empathy nor attractionto masculinity were predicted by testosterone measures. POSTER 28 THE INTERACTIVE PHYSICAL AND COGNITIVE EXERCISESYSTEM (IPACES): FEASIBILITY OF A CAY ANDERSON-HANLEY, KARTIK NATH, CLAUDIADALTERIO, IRELEE FERGUSON, MADELYN GERARDI(UNION COLLEGE), RYAN GLATT, STELLA PANOS, DAVIDMERRILL (PACIFIC BRAIN HEALTH CENTER), TOBISAULNIER (1ST PLAYABLE) Given the rise in Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias(ADRDs), the interactive Physical and Cognitive Exercise Systemwas developed, and pilot studies have indicated benefits for mildcognitive impairment (Anderson-Hanley, 2018). During theCOVID-19 pandemic, six of older adults remotely enrolled andexercised with the tablet-based game, pedaling along a bikepath. Our findings suggest that a remotely administered,home-based intervention for those with MCI is feasible and canguide preparation for a clinical trial. POSTER 29 MODELING RISKY DECISION MAKING AND GAMBLINGUSING A TOKEN ECONOMY IN PIGEONS CYRUS KIRKMAN (UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LOSANGELES), TIM HACKENBERG (REED COLLEGE) Gambling disorders are widespread and impactful, but little isknown about their development. Using a token economy, wedeveloped an animal model for slot machine gambling in whichpigeon subjects chose to produce, gamble, or exchange earnedtokens for food. We manipulated and measured sensitivity toseveral economic variables, including gamble win probability andamount. This animal model holds promise in betterunderstanding formation of gamble disorders and as a basis forfuture neurological research. POSTER 30 : SALIVARY STRESS AND IMMUNE BIOMARKERSFOLLOWING TRANSCRANIAL DIRECT CURRENTSTIMULATION ESTHER MURIUKI (MORGAN STATE UNIVERSITY), INGRIDTULLOCH (UNDEFINED) Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is one of severalnon-pharmacological interventions showing promise for reducingchronic pain symptoms. However, tDCS effects on stress andimmune biomarkers post intervention is unknown. The goal of thecurrent study was to determine these effects by measuringcortisol for stress and immune biomarker interleukin six in salivapre and post-intervention in a model of chronic painhypersensitivity. Chronic pain hypersensitivity was modeledusing the chemical capsaicin coupled

POSTER 31 DO NEUROSCIENTISTS LOOK SMARTER THAN COGNITIVESCIENTISTS? FRANCESCA GUARRERA, HANNAH STARNER, DIEGOFERNANDEZ-DUQUE (VILLANOVA UNIVERSITY) We compared photos of 204 actual researchers to assesswhether--absent of any information about their discipline- undergraduate students would rateneuroscientists as more competent than cognitive scientists. Wefound neither differences in perceived competence nor inperceived likelihood to be a scientist. Stereotypes about thesuperiority of brain researchers are not grounded in visual reality. POSTER 32 USE OF PROPRANOLOL TO INHIBIT CONSOLIDATION ANDRECONSOLIDATION OF FEAR MEMORY JULIE REICHERT (SAINT VINCENT COLLEGE) Previous research has shown that fear memory, in the case ofpost-traumatic stress disorder, is characterized by an increase ofnorepinephrine. To try to reduce fear in mice after a traumaticevent, the beta-blocker propranolol was used. Fear wasmeasured as freezing (absence of movement for more than onesecond). The results did not indicate that propranolol waseffective. There was not a difference by memory consolidationphase or propranolol condition. POSTER 33 PROBIOTIC INTERVENTION IMPROVES RECOVERY OFHIPPOCAMPAL MEMORY FOLLOWING DISRUPTION FROMHIGH-FAT DIET SANYOURAH EL-HULU, HUSNA NABI, TIMOTHYSCHOENFELD (BELMONT UNIVERSITY) Chronic high-fat diet (HFD) consumption has been associatedwith obesity, memory impairment, and disruption of gut bacteria;however, recent advances have shown recovery with use ofprobiotics. Sixteen adult rats were tested on three memory tasksfollowing 6-weeks of HFD consumption and weekly, whilereceiving probiotic treatment. Key findings show that probioticshasten spatial memory recovery following impairment from HFD.These findings highlight the importance of healthy diet onadequate memory functioning as aging progresses. POSTER 34 PAVLOVIAN CONDITIONED INHIBITION IN ASIGN/GOAL-TRACKING TASK WITH RATS MARIAM ALEX, DANIEL SIEGEL, ANDREW DELAMATER(BROOKLYN COLLEGE) This experiment aims to examine if Pavlovian conditionedinhibition can be produced in a sign-tracking paradigm andwhether inhibition would impact only goal-directed behavior or if itwould extend to sign-tracking behavior. Sixteen rats were trained

57

on a Pavlovian lever discrimination and excitatory or inhibitoryaudio/visual stimuli. Summation test data revealed significantinhibition in the sign-trackers. Data from a retardation of learningtest will also be presented. POSTER 35 THE EFFECT OF DIETARY CURCUMIN ON ADULTHIPPOCAMPAL NEUROGENESIS AYSHA KHAN (CUNY HUNTER COLLEGE/ MACAULAYHONORS COLLEGE), ANTHONY VILLEGAS, SADIYAH HANIF,MARIA CAMPO, REBECCA RAVENELLE, NESHABURGHARDT (HUNTER COLLEGE) Our aim was to determine whether curcumin enhances adulthippocampal neurogenesis through cell proliferation or cellsurvival. Two separate cohorts of mice were given either acontrol or curcumin diet and put through behavioral testing. Uponthe quantification of doublecortin and Brdu positive cells in thedentate gyrus, we found that long-term administration ofcurcumin increases adult hippocampal neurogenesis byincreasing cell proliferation. Our ongoing studies are addressingwhether curcumin could alternatively affect cell fate. POSTER 36 THE IMPACT OF SUPPRESSING ADOLESCENTHIPPOCAMPAL NEUROGENESIS ON ADULTANXIODEPRESSIVE BEHAVIOR RACHELLE LARIVEE, NATALIE JOHNSON, TIMOTHYSCHOENFELD (BELMONT UNIVERSITY) Adolescent stress impairs hippocampal neurogenesis andproduces an increased risk for anxiety, depression, and adysregulated stress response in adulthood. In order to model thefunctional effects of reduced hippocampal neurogenesis duringadolescence, a transgenic neurogenesis ablation rat model wasused to suppress neurogenesis during the adolescent period.Anxiodepressive behaviors were tested during adulthood.Hippocampal tissue was analyzed to quantify relativeneurogenesis to determine the long-lasting impacts ofneurogenesis arrest during adolescence on hippocampalstructure. POSTER 37 CAN DOGS TALK?: TEACHING DOGS TO REQUESTREWARDS USING COMMUNICATION BUTTONS MICHAELA DIAZ, LINDSEY MEHRKAM (MONMOUTHUNIVERSITY) This study investigated dog’s ability to learn to usecommunication buttons to request rewards. Five subjects fromthe HAWC lab at Monmouth University participated inapproximately 10 sessions in which they completedapproximately 20-40 trials. All dogs were successfully shapedand it was determined that dogs were able to learn to usecommunication buttons through a shaping plan. These resultsprovide dog owners with methods to enrich and empower theirdogs with choice.

CHAIR: PRINCY QUADROS-MENNELLA

8:00am - 8:15am PREDICTORS OF ADJUSTMENT TO THE COVID PANDEMIC:SOCIAL SUPPORT AND PERSONALITY WILLIAM J. KOWALCZYK (HARTWICK COLLEGE), URSULA A.SANBORN-OVERBY (SUNY ONEONTA), KIEONNAH A.JONES, JUSTYNA M. CAGE, BRIANNA L. MASON (HARTWICKCOLLEGE) The present study examines demographic, social support, andpersonality predictors of adjustment during the COVID pandemicin terms of depression, anxiety, and academics. Participantswere 131 students from two central New York colleges. Thepersonality results highlight the impact of agreeableness andopenness for mental health and conscientiousness, extroversion,and agreeableness for academic motivation. Significant othersocial support was associated with increases in mental healthsymptomatology, and family social support with increases inacademic motivation. 8:20am - 8:35am MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING OUTCOMES INFACULTY DURING THE 2020-21 ACADEMIC YEAR PRINCY QUADROS-MENNELLA, HUI ZHANG (DEPARTMENTOF PSYCHOLOGY, WESTFIELD STATE UNIVERSITY) The pandemic posed challenges for many divisions of education.However, higher education faculty were not represented in theresearch. Therefore, we examined mental health and wellbeing inhigher education faculty. Using an extensive demographic surveyand four self-reported scales, our results revealed thatparticipants’ perceived stress, anxiety, and depression weresignificantly associated with their childcare responsibilities,non-teaching work responsibilities, and coping strategies. Theseresults provide implications to support higher education facultyduring the pandemic. 8:40am - 8:55am REMA: A NEW THERAPY WHERE THEOLOGY ANDTHERAPY MEET CHRISTOPHER STEED (LONDON SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY) Being presented at the conference is a new approach topsychotherapy with an innovative therapeutic framework plus alinked counselling service in North London serving as a workingmodel.

58

Counselling models were developed in the last century by whitemiddle class men. Our approach will bring issues of race, genderand categories of disadvantage into the model. It operationalisesthe value and worth of human beings as a vital psycho-socialdynamic, not an ethical imperative only 9:00am - 9:15am THERAPIST PERCEPTIONS AND USE OF INTERVENTIONS CHRISTINE WOLF, JOHN DONAHUE (UNIVERSITY OFBALTIMORE) Mindfulness interventions are effective in the treatment of avariety of problem areas, however previous surveys suggestmany therapists do not identify using mindfulness interventions.The present study sought to explore therapist perceptions of, andbarriers to using, mindfulness interventions. Preliminary resultsfrom 327 licensed practitioners suggest generally favorableattitudes towards mindfulness, but few use mindfulnessinterventions in practice.

8:00am-9:20am

POSTER 1 THE EFFECTS OF AN ARTS PROGRAM ON BEHAVIORS OFPSYCHIATRIC ADOLESCENTS YEAR2 ARIS KARAGIORGAKIS, EMILY BLAKER, SAMANTHALONG-MITCHELL (PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY,FAYETTE) The current study investigated the effectiveness of an artsintervention program that was hypothesized to improve behaviorscores at an in-patient psychiatric facility for adolescents. Theprogram was administered once a week, to 56 adolescents, anda total of 9 behavior scores were assessed. A modifiedinterrupted time-series research design was utilized to find partialimprovement for female scores only. Qualitative benefits werereported, but high staff and patient turnover may have hinderedhypothesized benefits. POSTER 2 EXAMINING HEALTH EXPERIENCES AND BODYDISSATISFACTION IN TWO UNIQUE SAMPLES OFPATIENTS MAGGIE ALBRIGHT-PIERCE, KRISTIN AUGUST, CHARLOTTEMARKEY (RUTGERS UNIVERSITY) Using cross-sectional data from two samples of patients with type2 diabetes, we used an embodiment perspective to examinewhether three different measures of health (comorbid conditions,functional limitations, self-rated health) were related to bodydissatisfaction. The nature and strength of these associationsdiffered across the two unique samples examined. However,weight status had the strongest and most robust association withbody dissatisfaction in both samples. POSTER 3 HOME SWEET HOME: PSYCHOLOGICAL HOME AS APREDICTOR OF RESILIENCE ANDREW P. CAMILLERI, HELENA L. SWANSON, JOSEPH R.FERRARI (DEPAUL UNIVERSITY), LAURA MIGLIORINI,VITTORIA ROMOLI, PAOLA CARDINALI (UNIVERSITY OFGENOA) All persons seek “home,” a sense of safety and security beyondthe physical dwelling where one lives. A sense of psychologicalhome becomes particularly relevant for migrants as compared tonative residents. In this study, we examined a sample of adults(130 migrants, 70 natives, native Italians; M age = 36.2 years) onwhether psychological home predicted resilience. Results usinglinear regression and implications for community agencies arediscussed. POSTER 4 STUDENT PERCEPTIONS OF PROFESSORS FROMUNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS

59

MICHELE VAN VOLKOM, LYDIA BROWN, SAMANTHAGAGNON (MONMOUTH UNIVERSITY) The current study investigated the potential effect of professorethnic background on student perceptions. Ninety-sevenparticipants were randomly assigned to read a vignette about ahypothetical professor who was either Chinese American, AfricanAmerican, or Latinx. No significant differences were found forany of the four dependent measures (achievement, teaching,rapport, and overall impressions). This study should bereplicated with a more diverse sample and with professors ofother ethnic backgrounds. POSTER 5 E-CIGARETTES: A NOVEL ABUSE-LIABILITY ASSESSMENT ARI KIRSHENBAUM, AINSLEY KEATING, EMMA BISAILLON,MIA COOPER (SAINT MICHAEL'S COLLEGE), JOHN HUGHES(UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT) Whether nicotine in an e-cigarette occasioned alterations in thereinforcing efficacy of a videogame was evaluated in adouble-blind fashion. Young-adult, never-users, were deliverednicotine via e-cigarette (0, 6 or 12 mg), and were given access toa videogame reinforcer available on a progressive ratio (PR)schedule. Both doses of nicotine enhanced several measures ofreinforcing efficacy, including PR breakpoints. Dose-effectrelationships were also evident in several subjectiveassessments of the videogame. POSTER 6 ZOOMING IN: SELF-REFLECTION ON ZOOM ELEVATESBODY SHAME AND NEGATIVE AFFECT ELIA GOFFI, MARISSA PIZZIFERRO, MIRIAM STEELE (THENEW SCHOOL), BERNADETTE BUHL-NIELSEN (UNIVERSITYOF COPENHAGEN), ANTHONY BOIARDO (THE NEWSCHOOL) Zoom video conferencing may elevate body image concerns andaccentuate awareness of being observed. Experiences of seeingoneself on Zoom versus in the mirror were examined in a sampleof men (N = 54); participants in the Zoom condition experiencedsignificantly greater body shame and negative affect than thein-person mirror condition. Findings indicate that seeing oneselfon Zoom activates the entire body representation and may bedistressing, and implications for Zoom use are discussed. POSTER 7 IMPACT OF SHARED FEEDBACK PURPOSE ON RATERMOTIVATION AND QUALITY OF FEEDBACK ROBERT BRILL, HANNAH PELLICCIOTTI (MORAVIANUNIVERSITY) This study explored the impact of a feedback recipient’s sharedpurpose on contributing raters’ quality of ratings. Before viewinga presentation (performance stimulus), 56 subjects read thepresenter’s personal plea for candid feedback to serveprofessional development goals; while 53 subjects (control) readan overview of the assignment. Results indicated significantly

more critical ratings and higher self-reports of instrumentality andexpectancy components of motivation for the shared purposesubjects compared to control subjects. POSTER 8 HOW DOES EARLY SAMPLING OF DIFFERENTINSTRUMENTS BENEFIT A MUSICIAN'S LATERDEVELOPMENT? LARENCE BECKER, JOSIE AMBERMAN, ZOE MICHELLEBRADSHAW (SALISBURY UNIVERSITY) Do music students focus on playing one instrument from ayoung age, or do they tend to sample multiple instruments beforesettling on their primary one. We surveyed music majors andfound that most first learned other instruments. Unexpectedly, thebenefit was not in the development of technical skill, but rather inthe connection and devotion to the instrument. More generally,these findings support the idea of teaching by encouraging earlycuriosity. POSTER 9 SENIORS WITH STUFF: OLDER ADULTS WITH CLUTTER HELENA SWANSON (DEPAUL UNIVERSITY), MARETAEBERHARDT (DEPAUL UNIVVERSITY), ABIGAIL ADAN(DEPAUL UNIVERSITY), ELLA HAGEMAN, JOSEPH FERRARI(DEPAUL UNIVERSITY) Clutter researchers previously theorized if clutter accumulationand clutter impact may increase as we get older. This studyaimed to examine age differences in experiences with clutterquality of life, product self-extension, and place attachment.Results indicate that during the pandemic, clutter quality of lifeexperiences seemingly leveled out among younger adults andolder adults. We also examined age group differences formotivation to declutter during the pandemic; motivations did notdiffer by age group. POSTER 10 “WHAT WERE YOU THINKING (DURING COVID)?” DECISIONTO DECLUTTER ABIGAIL ADAN, ALYSSA ALTIERI, HETAL PATEL, DEVKIPATEL, JOSEPH FERRARI (DEPAUL UNIVERSITY) During the COVID-19 pandemic, many people weresheltered-in-place and subsequently in their homes more thanusual. We examined if this extended time at home was related topsychological reactance and clutter quality of life. Resultsindicated that individuals that were self-motivated to declutterduring the first few months of the pandemic report a better clutterquality of life compared to those that were externally motivated(e.g., by family). POSTER 11 THERE’S JUST TOO MUCH STUFF: OFFICE CLUTTER BYREMOTE EMPLOYEES MARETA EBERHARDT, LILI GEORGES, HELENA SWANSON,

60

JOSEPH FERRARI (DEPAUL UNIVERSITY) Previous research shows the negative impact clutter has onemployees work-related outcomes. This study took a morein-depth look at remote employees’ experiences with jobsatisfaction and their general level of procrastination in referenceto their clutter. Results indicate that there is no differencebetween remote workers’ job satisfaction and their level ofprocrastination. Additionally, the remote workers’ job level,remote working environment, and amounts of clutter did not differbetween workers. POSTER 12 DIGITAL DECLUTTER: WORK ELECTRONIC CLUTTEREXPERIENCE LILI GEORGES, HELENA SWANSON, MARETA EBERHARDT,DEVKI PATEL, ANDREW CAMILLERI, JOSEPH FERRARI(DEPAUL UNIVERSITY) Clutter researchers are exploring is a new form of clutter in theirresearch, digital clutter (an overabundance of digital objects, e.g.,emails, photographs, documents). This project analyzed thetypes of digital clutter workers report and psychological factorscontributing to motivation to keep digital clutter. Results indicatethat burnout and indecision contribute to motivation to keep theirdigital clutter. Lastly, analyses examining socioeconomic statusdifferences for keeping digital clutter were conducted and foundno significant differences. POSTER 13 STUDENT SHELTERS: HOME, APARTMENT, AND DORMIMPACTED BY CLUTTER ELLA HAGEMAN (DEPAUL UNIVERSITY), JULIALAURENTOWSKI (OSSINING HIGH SCHOOL), HETAL PATEL(UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS, CHICAGO), ANDREW CAMILLERI,DEVKI PATEL, JOSEPH FERRARI (DEPAUL UNIVERSITY) For many college students, moving into dorms in their first timeliving alone and researchers seek to understand their clutters’impact on them during this time. This study found a negativerelationship between psychological home and clutter quality oflife in a sample of college students. Gender differences were alsoexamined and indicated that in this sample of college students’women experience a greater sense of psychological homecompared to men. POSTER 14 A NEUROCOGNITIVE APPROACH ON RESILIENCY TOSTRESS AND TRAUMA TAREK HIJAZI, BRUCE DIAMOND (WILLIAM PATERSONUNIVERSITY) The goal was to develop a cognitive profile reflecting who does ordoes not develop stress-related disorders following trauma.Eighteen university students participated. Perceived stresscorrelated with Digit Span Backwards, r(15) = -.54, p < .05, whichpredicted perceived stress scores, b = -.54, t(16) = -2.59, p < .05. Perceived stress also correlated with NAART scores, r(16) =

-.47, p < .05. Overall, executive control and pre-morbidintelligence predicted perceived stress. POSTER 15 MENTHA PIPERITA GUM CHEWING ON HUNGER, MOOD,FOOD CONSUMPTION, NUTRITION AND WEIGHT BRYAN RAUDENBUSH (WHEELING UNIVERSITY) The study evaluated hunger levels during peppermint gummastication, in addition to food consumption, dietary evaluationand weight over six weeks. Peppermint gum chewing resulted ina decrease in calorie consumption, fat consumption, andcarbohydrate consumption, and a decrease in weight over time. Thus, peppermint gum chewing could be used as an effectiveadjunct to decrease hunger pains and appetite, thus consumingfewer calories, and weight reduction. POSTER 16 EVENT-RELATED POTENTIAL EVIDENCE THAT PRIMINGINTERACTS WITH EPISODIC RECOGNITION ANAGHA KALELKAR, HAFSAH SHAIKH, PAUL LEYNES (THECOLLEGE OF NEW JERSEY) This study investigated repetition, semantic, and orthographicallysimilar (OS) priming on episodic recognition memory usingEvent-Related Potentials (ERPs). Thirty-eight participantsencoded-words shallowly and then completed a memory taskwith one of the three types of primes on each trial. Match primesproduced more liberal responding, whereas OS primes led tomore conservative responding. FN400 ERPs revealed that theprime interacted with the episodic trace. POSTER 17 A SYSTEMATIC EXAMINATION OF RELIABILITYMEASURES IN NOVEL SCALE DEVELOPMENT JONATHAN SHUE, CODY FICKES, MICHELLE STINE,THOMAS HATVANY, JAMES GRIFFITH (SHIPPENSBURGUNIVERSITY) The purpose of this study was to examine the procedures todetermine the reliability of measures while establishing thepsychometric properties of novel scales. The results indicate thatalthough researchers creating scales typically follow generalpractices and recommendations, this study indicated that thereare marked discrepancies across studies, specifically in theareas of the suggested reporting of global values of reliability,inconsistent sample sizes, inconsistent descriptions ofacceptable reliability, and the use of test-retest reliability. POSTER 18 PAIN INTO PLEASURE: THE EFFECT OF LOVINGKINDNESSIN AN UNCOMFORTABLE LAB TASK EVANGELINE WHEELER, BROOKE RICHMAN, KIANA WARD(TOWSON UNIVERSITY) Meditation practices can reduce acute pain, according to several

61

studies. However, few studies have compared the effects oflovingkindness meditation (LKM) to simple relaxation. Wecompared the effects of two interventions on pain tolerance,threshold, intensity, and pleasure during a painful lab task.Participants in the lovingkindness group reported greaterpleasure than those in the relaxation group. Results arediscussed in terms of cognitive reappraisal in the ability of LKM toreframe pain experiences. POSTER 19 STUDENTS BENEFIT FROM COURSE FOCUSED ONCOMPLEMENTARY APPROACHES TO HEALTH MARYELLEN HAMILTON, STEPHANIE BRYAN, JAYGARRELS, MIA RUHLEN (SAINT PETER'S UNIVERSITY) At unprecedented levels, young adults are experiencingpreventable, negative health outcomes resulting from myriadissues including stress, anxiety, substance abuse, sedentarybehavior, and obesity. A college level course was offeredcovering the science and practice of complementary approachesto health (e.g., meditation, mindfulness, happiness, compassion,and prayer). Data showed that those taking the class hadsignificant increases in self-compassion, remembered happinessand spiritual well-being, with reported improvements in exercise,sleep quality, stress management and reactivity. POSTER 20 GRATITUDE AND DEPRESSIVE/ANXIETY SYMPTOMSAMONG FIRST-YEAR COLLEGE STUDENTS: A SEQUENTIALMEDIATION MODEL QINGYI ZHANG, CATHERINE HU, WILLIAM TSAI (NEW YORKUNIVERSITY) Introduction: Little is known about the mechanisms by whichdispositional gratitude is associated with mental health benefitsover time. Method: 479 first-year undergraduate students completedself-report measures during the 1st and 14th week of thesemester. Result: Gratitude was associated with higher positive reframing,and in turn associated with lower inauthenticity, which predictedlower depressive/anxiety symptoms over time. Discussion: The results offer insight into the mechanisms bywhich fostering gratitude may protect against depressive/anxietysymptoms. POSTER 21 GEOGRAPHICS, DEMOGRAPHICS, AND VACCINATION:PREDICTORS OF VACCINATION BEFORE AND AFTER FULL MICHELE DORNISCH, HEATHER BUTTS, NANCY FRYE,JENNA CURRAN, TARA CARTER, GANGA PREDEEP,LANDON PANESSA, COLLEEN SHERIDAN, JASMINESANCHEZ (LONG ISLAND UNIVERSITY) We examined predictors of vaccine behavior, both at the level ofthe state and the level of the county in seven states with thelargest cities in the US. Overall, political affiliation and educationlevel predicted vaccination behavior. Additionally, in two states

examined, political affiliation and education interacted, such thatpolitical affiliation was a stronger predictor of vaccination at lowlevels of education. Results are discussed in terms ofimplications for health behavior. POSTER 22 EFFECTIVENESS OF A MENTAL HEALTH EDUCATIONPROGRAM: MENTAL HEALTH TOOLKIT® JEAN KIRNAN (THE COLLEGE OF NEW JERSEY), PATRICKKIRNAN (ATTITUDES IN REVERSE, AIR) Mental health education and awareness programs areincreasingly employed in the school systems. Recently theseprograms have expanded from middle and high school use toalso include elementary school students. The current studyexplored the effectiveness of a single-event mental healtheducation and awareness program, the Mental Health Toolkit®,MHT. An analysis of pre- post-measures revealed thatthird-grade students significantly improved their knowledge ofgeneral wellness topics after attending an MHT presentation. POSTER 23 THE INFLUENCE OF BELIEFS CONCERNING STRESS ONANXIETY, IRRATIONAL THINKING AND HOPEFULNESS PHILIP DRUCKER, CAROLYN VIGORITO, CLAUDIA KEARNS,LAUREN MILISCI, GABRIELLA FRONTERA (ST. JOHN'SUNIVERSITY) College students completed the Depression Anxiety StressScales (DASS-21), the Perceived Stress Questionnaire (PSQ),the Survey of Personal Beliefs (SPB), the Adult Hope Scale, andthe Revised Life Orientation Test (r-LOT). In this sample, 81%believed that stress is always unhealthy. For them, there was apositive correlation between stress and irrational beliefs.Sixty-eight percent endorsed the idea that stress can be positivesometimes. These participants had lower stress and anxiety andhigher hopefulness scores. POSTER 24 WHAT IS A WARNING WORTH? FAKE NEWS, POLITICALAFFILIATION, AND “DISPUTED CONTENT” CHARLENE CHRISTIE, JENNIFER LE, REBECCA NORTON(SUNY ONEONTA) To study fake news, we merged research on content warnings,critical thinking skills, political affiliation, and individual attitudes.College students (N = 171) completed a logic test. They wereexposed to four false news stories presented using a traditionalsocial media layout. Political beliefs and affiliation were alsoassessed. The impact of warnings were inconsistent and thecritical-thinking test was not associated with any outcomes.Political attitudes had a stronger impact than group affiliation. POSTER 25 JOURNAL “PRESTIGE" UNRELATED TO BEST PRACTICESIN THE SCALE DEVELOPMENT

62

THOMAS HATVANY, JON SHUE, MICHELLE STINE, CODEYFICKES, JAMES D GRIFFITH (SHIPPENSBURG UNIVERSITY) This research examined the relationship between measures ofjournal “prestige” and the use of best practices in the initial itemdevelopment stage of the scale development process. Afterexamining every scale development article published in 2018, theresults indicated that measures such as impact factor h-indexand SJR rankings do not predict the use of best practices in thisstage of scale development, suggesting that these measures arenot markers of quality research. POSTER 26 TEACHER EXPERIENCES DURING COVID-19 CAITLIN MONAHAN, SHERI LEVY (STONY BROOKUNIVERSITY) During the COVID-19 pandemic, K-12 teachers navigatedunfamiliar environments. This pre-registered study(https://osf.io/wa2jc/) completed between April and June 2021involved 341 K-12 teachers from over 100 schools in theNortheast, Southeast, Midwest, Southwest, West, and PacificNorthwest representing 12 states. Path analyses revealed thatgreater perceived support and lesser experiences of sexismpredicted greater job satisfaction, which predicted lesser anxiety,depression, and stress. These results underscore the importantrole of perceived social support for teachers. POSTER 27 MARRIAGE AND HEALTH RISK FACTORS IN RACIAL ANDETHNIC MINORITY GROUPS THEODORE MACGOWAN, TSJANIQUA JEFFREY, XINNIRUIYANG XU, CLAUDIA LEONARDI (ST. JOHNS UNIVERSITY) Marriage protects against cardiovascular and cancer deaths andthese effects may be mediated by health risk factors. Less dataare available on associations of marriage to health in ethnicminority groups. Among Black (n = 396), Latino (n = 390), andAmerican Indian/Alaska Native (n = 303) groups, marriage wasassociated with reduced likelihood of smoking and lower obesity,and effects varied by group and gender. Protective effects ofmarriage may vary by social context. POSTER 28 THE MEYERHOFF SCHOLARS PROGRAM: STUDENTEXPERIENCE, STEM PHD COMMITMENT AND ENTRY MARIANO STO DOMINGO, MEGHAN FLYNN, KENNETHMATON (UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, BALTIMORE COUNTY) Mediation analysis of the effect of Meyerhoff students’ overallprogram experience on their entry into STEM PhD programsindicated that the former indirectly leads to the latter throughincreased commitment to pursue STEM PhD. Specific analysesof students’ experiences across three program components:program values, research engagement, and peer tutoring yieldedsimilar results, i.e., the effect of these components is mediated byenhanced commitment to STEM PhD.

POSTER 29 BOUNDARY MATTERS: EXAMINING THE IMPACT OFWORKPLACE TELEPRESSURE ON WORK RECOVERY XINYU (JUDY) HU, LAUREN COSTELLO (ROGER WILLIAMSUNIVERSITY) The present study examined workplace telepressure (i.e.,preoccupation and urge to respond work-related electronicmessages) and its negative associations with employee recoveryand whether individual difference of segmentation preferencemoderated the relationships. Results from a daily diary study of118 full-time employed adults presented a significant negativerelationship between workplace telepressure and one’s controlover leisure time and a moderating effect of segmentationpreference on the effects of workplace telepressure on sleepquantity and quality. POSTER 30 DO YOU WONDER? CAN CURIOSITY BE TAUGHT? CHRISTOPHER SOKOL, RAYMOND SHAW, CHRISTINAHARDWAY, MICHAEL STROUD, DIANE SHAW (MERRIMACKCOLLEGE) This study explored if a class assignment termed the “WeeklyWonder (WW)” could inspire a sample of college students.Students’ responses were coded according to a level of curiosityand category. Results demonstrated that students’ responses tothe WW increased in higher levels of curiosity; category levelsincreased in real-world applications with a decrease in responsesof course content. Together, these results suggest students’curiosity increases over time with a stronger emphasis onreal-world content. POSTER 31 EFFECTS OF EMOJI USAGE AND JOB TYPE ONPERCEPTIONS OF APPLICANT COMPETENCE JESSICA CARLSON, SOPHIA EADY (WESTERN NEWENGLAND UNIVERSITY) While it is clear that emojis have become mainstream, theirsuitability for workplace correspondence is still a matter ofdebate. Building off previous research, the present studyinvestigating the use of emojis in resumes, and found thatperceptions of methodological competence varied. POSTER 32 DO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS HAVE CLUTTER? A PILOTOBSERVATION STUDY JULIA LAURENTOWSKI (OSSINING HIGH SCHOOL), ALYSSAALTIERI, ELLA HAGEMAN, ABIGAIL ADAN, HELENASWANSON, JOSEPH FERRARI (DEPAUL UNIVERSITY) Previous research by clutter researchers has yet to explore theimpact clutter has on high school students. This study is novel asit is the first research project conducted examining high schoolstudents’ clutter. We investigated the relationship between

63

physical clutter in high schoolers’ bedrooms and their quality oflife related to clutter. Analyses also examined how time spent intheir bedroom affects perceived amount of clutter and perceivedquality of life. POSTER 33 ADULTS WITH AVERSIVE ABUNDANCE: DESCRIBINGCLUTTERED HOME BY STRUCTURE HATEL PATEL (UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS, CHICAGO), LILIGEORGES, HELENA SWANSON, ANDREW CAMILLERI,JOSEPH FERRARI (DEPAUL UNIVERSITY) Clutter researchers examined clutter of quality-of-life differencesbased on dwelling structure in a sample of adults. Participantswere asked how clutter impacts their quality of life based on theirsquare footage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, type ofdwelling, and state they reside. Results identified that squarefootage, number of bathrooms, and number of bedrooms weresignificantly different based on participants' clutter quality of life;but type of dwelling and state residence were not different. POSTER 34 SOCIOECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED STEMTRANSFER STUDENTS - A CLEAR PATH TO SUCCESS OLIVIA CARDUCCI, MICHELLE JONES-WILSON, KATHLEENMORRIS, BONNIE A. GREEN (EAST STROUDSBURGUNIVERSITY) Clear Path, an NSF S-STEM transfer program, partners a public4-year university with regional community colleges to provideessential financial support for socioeconomically disadvantagedstudents. However, financial support alone does not explain theextraordinary program success (>88% retention). Intentionalprogram components including, holistic advising, mentoring,tutoring, social support, and targeted development of traitsassociated with academic success are essential for thispopulation. Program methodology, retention, graduation andpost-graduation outcomes will be shared. POSTER 35 BRIDGING CONNECTIONS: STUDENT PERCEPTIONS OFCROSS-COURSE COLLABORATIVE PROJECTS STAEY ZAREMBA, SARAH JOHNSON (MORAVIANUNIVERSITY) We examined the effectiveness of a collaborative assignmentacross two psychology seminars (on Music and Diversity). Pairedacross seminars, students developed a presentation thatincluded sharing a piece of music, an overview of the relateddiversity topic, and music analysis themes. The Self-AssessedCollaboration Skills tool evaluated student attitudes toward thecross-class project and engagement level. We also assessedhow examining a topic from different perspectives enhancedperceived learning of the course material. POSTER 36 STUDENT PERCEPTIONS OF LEARNING, CLASSROOM

ROLES, AND TARGETED LEARNING OUTCOMES EMILY BOVIER, ELIZABETH ECK (STATE UNIVERSITY OFNEW YORK AT OSWEGO) This study evaluated relationships among student engagementand perceptions of learning. Assessments of engagementincluded active participation, engagement through emotions, andpracticing skills. Perceptions of learning were assessed throughopen-ended responses. Results indicated the depth of students’definitions and perceptions of classroom roles significantlypredicted engagement, particularly active participation. Thisstudy is a preliminary step at assessing student perceptions, andfuture work can incorporate discussions of learning concepts topromote a deeper engagement. POSTER 37 COMBINING TRADITIONAL AND WEB-BASED INSTRUCTION- THE EVALUATION OF HYBRID CLASSES. DOMINIKA ZOFIA WOJCIK, SILVIA EUGENIO VICO(UNIVERSITY OF SALAMANCA) Psychology students in our study held beliefs that in-personclasses aid their learning more than online classes. We found,however, that they had equally good academic outcomes in bothmodalities. We also looked at predictive value ofmotivation/strategy use, academic self-efficacy and self-efficacyfor digital media use for students' scores on a knowledge quiz butfound only self-efficacy for digital media use to be a significantpredictor in online classes. POSTER 38 FOLLOW THE MONEY: GRANT FUNDING IN ACADEMICPSYCHOLOGY KATHRYN BARBER, JOHN LYONS, ABIGAIL HEISTER,AMBER NORWOOD, THOMAS HATVANY, JAMES GRIFFITH(SHIPPENSBURG UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA) Obtaining grant funding is often viewed as an indicator ofscholarly achievement in academic psychology. This studysurveyed a large sample of psychology faculty to explore grantfunding norms and the importance of grants for tenure acrossdifferent institution types. Results showed faculty fromhigh-research institutions received more grant funding comparedto faculty from doctoral/professional schools, master’s programs,and bachelor’s institutions. High-research institutions also placedmore weight on grant funding when making tenure decisions. POSTER 39 TAKING A SOCIOSCIENTIFIC SEMINAR: AN ANALYSIS OFSTUDENT FEEDBACK JASON MCCARTNEY, ALISON WEEG (SALISBURYUNIVERSITY) The current project involved collecting students’ feedback whiletaking an upper-level seminar using online surveys. We alsoinvestigated the overall prevalence of seminars in a Mid-Atlanticstate university system. Our findings indicate that a seminar that

64

incorporates socioscientific issues can stimulate studentengagement and interest, as well as challenge their beliefs andmisconceptions. However, seminar-style courses appear to beuncommon in psychology programs. POSTER 40 CHARACTERISTICS OF EFFECTIVE REMOTE TEACHING PETER HARRIS, GILLIAN YI, JEAN KIRNAN (THE COLLEGEOF NEW JERSEY) Remote learning has grown steadily in higher education.However, with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, institutionshad to quickly pivot from in-person to online instruction. Thecurrent study identified effective and ineffective practices ofonline teaching during this forced remote learning. A thematicanalysis was applied to narratives provided by students yielding10 themes. Themes are discussed in terms of earlier research oneffective teaching as well as specific traits related to onlineinstruction. POSTER 41 TEACHING OF THE HISTORY AND SYSTEMS OFPSYCHOLOGY IN APA-ACCREDITED DOCTORALPROGRAMS RACHEL F. SIMON, BENJAMIN J. LOVETT, SHAELYNNTRAPP (TEACHERS COLLEGE COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY) Coursework in the history and systems of psychology is requiredfor all doctoral students attending APA-accredited programs. Wesurveyed all such programs and received 139 unique syllabi forreview. The vast majority of courses used a primary textbook aswell as supplemental articles, although fewer than half of coursesincluded readings from prior to 1950. Of 22 different topics, themost commonly covered separately were behaviorism andpsychoanalysis. Implications for future research are discussed. POSTER 42 INTERTEACHING: EFFECTS OF A GROUP DISCUSSION ANDLECTURE ON STUDENT RETENTION STEPHANIE JIMENEZ, BREANNA WUCKOVICH, SNEHAVUTTARAPALLY (UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH ATJOHNSTOWN), CATHERINE GAYMAN (TROY UNIVERSITY) Interteaching has three key components: preparatory guide,group discussion, and clarifying lecture. A previous study hasdemonstrated that the discussion and lecture are necessary andsufficient for students’ success. The current study investigatedthe difference between these two components in a laboratorysetting. The results suggested that conditions containing a groupdiscussion component led to higher improvements in quiz scoresthan those containing only a clarifying lecture component. POSTER 43 MATH MINDSET AND MATH ANXIETY: UNDERSTANDINGACHIEVEMENT IN DATA ANALYTICS COURSES JENNIFER A. MCCABE, DARA G. FRIEDMAN-WHEELER,

SIERRA J. HAUSTHOR, LAYLA J. MURRAY, EMILY R.WASKOW (GOUCHER COLLEGE) This study examined factors that predict final grades in dataanalytics (DA) courses. Results showed that domain-general andmath-specific growth mindset overlapped, and that thoughparticipants moved toward a fixed mindset by the end of thesemester, they also tended to have less math anxiety.Regression analyses suggested that math anxiety, but notmindset, significantly predicted DA grade beyond high schoolGPA. Future directions and implications for supporting DA courseachievement are discussed. POSTER 44 EXPLORING GRADUATE TRAINING FOR CLINICAL ANDCOUNSELING PSYCHOLOGISTS ON PRIMARY EMOTIONS THOMAS DIBLASI, LIRON SINN, CHELSA ARGUETA, DAVIDTURNER, EMILY ARAMANDA (SAINT JOSEPH'S COLLEGE) Training programs in clinical and counseling psychology havebeen criticized for not providing adequate training, including fortrauma and substance use. This descriptive study exploredpsychologists’ training related to working with clients with anxiety,depression, anger, shame, guilt, and disgust. A general trendwas that psychologists endorsed more favorable responses forworking with anxiety and depression, than anger, shame, guilt,and disgust. Thus, there is a need to reform clinical andcounseling training programs. POSTER 45 SYNCHRONOUS LEARNING SUCCESS DURING THECOVID-19 PANDEMIC: CAMERA USAGE IMPROVESSTUDENT AMANDA CHAPPELL, JONELL STROUGH (WEST VIRGINIAUNIVERSITY) The COVID-19 pandemic precipitated a rapid shift to onlineinstruction with unknown consequences for student learning. Thisempirical study showed students in classrooms instructed tohave their cameras on earned higher course grades thanstudents who received no instructions. Concerns for making thisis an equitable policy also to be described. POSTER 46 WHY IS LEARNING ONLINE LESS SATISFYING?: HOWRELATEDNESS AFFECTS ONLINE COURSE SATISFACTION MAYA NANDY, JASON DAHLING (THE COLLEGE OF NEWJERSEY) We studied how online interactions with professors and peersshaped students’ course satisfaction via self-determinedmotivation (SDM) and relatedness need satisfaction (RNS)during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants evaluated courseinteractions at time 1, SDM and RNS at time 2, and coursesatisfaction at time 3. We found that professor interactionsindirectly affected course satisfaction via SDM, but not RNS.Peer interactions improved RNS, but had no effect on SDM orcourse satisfaction.

POSTER 47 ARE PSYCHOLOGY PROFESSORS MORELEARNER-CENTERED THAN BUSINESS PROFESSORS? MEGAN HOOPES (WILLIAM PATERSON) The purpose of the current study was to examine the teachingstyles of business professors in comparison to psychologyprofessors. An electronic survey of 44 questions on a 5-pointLikert scale using the Principals of Adult Learning Scale (PALS)and the Learner-Centered Practices Scale (LCP) was sent out tobusiness professors and psychology professors at WilliamPaterson University. Independent t-tests comparing the businessprofessors to the psychology professors found no differences onthe PALS scale. POSTER 48 IMPROVING AUTISM UNDERSTANDING IN KENYA: AMIXED-METHODS EVALUATION CATHERINE MESSINA, LILY CHEN, BELLA KOFNER(COLLEGE OF STATEN ISLAND - CUNY) Past research in Kenya has not attempted to improve autismunderstanding. We wanted to explore the perspectives of autismin Kenya. We adapted a training that had been associated withimproved autism knowledge and stigma.

Although participants described stigma towards autistic peopleand their families, they had knowledge about and appreciation ofautism. They rejected certain misconceptions, such as witchcraftcausing autism, but accepted others. Continued education isnecessary to improve autism understanding in Kenya. POSTER 49 MATERNAL PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH IN RELATION TOCHILDREN’S EMOTION ADJUSTMENT DURING THEPANDEMIC YIHUI GONG, XIN FENG, KARIS INBODEN (THE OHIO STATEUNIVERSITY), MEINGOLD CHAN (UNIVERSITY OF BRITISHCOLUMBIA.) The present study aims to investigate the relations betweenmaternal psychological health, before and after the pandemic,and children's emotional adjustment following the COVID-19outbreak. A sample of 76 mother-child dyads was recruited whenchildren were 3.5-4.0 years old. Results indicated that maternaldeclined psychological wellbeing was positively related tochildren's negative emotional reactions towards the COVID-19outbreak. The findings underscore the importance of maternalpsychological health for children’s emotional adjustment duringCOVID-19. POSTER 50 BEING SARCASTIC: THE SOCIOCULTURAL IMPLICATIONSOF UNDERSTANDING SARCASM FOR EFL SPEAKERS. SHELBY CARLOCK, FANLI JIA (SETON HALL UNIVERSITY)

There is a gap in the literature regarding the sarcasmcomprehension of English as a Foreign Language speakers. Thegoal of our research is to explore pragmatic factors thatcontribute to EFL understanding of sarcasm and the socioculturalimplications of those. We hypothesize that vocabularyknowledge, acculturation, and language exposure may positivelycorrelate with sarcasm comprehension for EFL speakers. Thisresearch provides insight into learning the culture of a language,outside of the target culture. POSTER 51 MAMIE PHIPPS CLARK: AN EARLY PIONEER INCOMMUNITY PSYCHOLOGY SIEVER OCONNOR AOKI (CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK,COLLEGE OF STATEN ISLAND) Mamie Phipps Clark (1917-1983), was an early pioneer in thefield of American psychology across the U.S and localmarginalized communities from the late 1940’s and after. Despite racial segregation, community pushback, and financialsetbacks, Dr. Clark was able to have an exceptional career andestablish the Northside Center for Child Development for thelocal youth in Harlem, becoming an early pioneer in communitypsychology. POSTER 52 BOHEMIAN BEHAVIORIST: B.F. SKINNER’SUNCONVENTIONAL PATH TO PSYCHOLOGY LUIS CALLE (CUNY COLLEGE OF STATEN ISLAND) When one thinks B.F. Skinner, thoughts of neo-behaviorismcome to mind, or maybe thoughts of the Skinner Box or theinfamous “heir conditioner”. Some saw him as a genius, otherssaw him as madman, but very few know about his bohemian lifeand the wandering path he took to become one psychology’smost famous behaviorists. POSTER 53 BLUMA ZEIGARNIK: A WOMAN AND AN EFFECT ANNA GARANENKO, RIKKI MILLER (UNIVERSITY OFSOUTHERN MAINE) Bluma Zeigarnik made history with the phenomenon of enhancedmemory for uncompleted tasks that entered textbooks under thename of “Zeigarnik Effect ''. Her promising career changeddramatically after she moved to the USSR in 1931. Havingescaped Hitler only to be entrapped by Stalin, the scientistbecame lost behind the “iron curtain”. Despite the enormoushardships she endured, Bluma Zeigarnik remained faithful toscience and contributed to the development of Russian clinicalpsychology.

CHAIR: SHAUN COOK

8:00am - 8:15am METALINGUISTIC AWARENESS OF COLLEGE STUDENTSAT EARLY STAGES OF FOREIGN LANGUAGE LEARNING MAYA C. ROSE (COLLEGE OF STATEN ISLAND AND THEGRADUATE CENTER, CUNY), ANGELA CORTEZ, ARSHIA K.LODHI (COLLEGE OF STATEN ISLAND, CUNY), PATRICIA J.BROOKS (COLLEGE OF STATEN ISLAND AND THEGRADUATE CENTER, CUNY) Foreign language learning depends on the ability to noticepatterns. Undergraduates (N = 157) were tested oncomprehension of Turkish nouns inflected for case and numberafter completing a computer-assisted language-learning protocol.We assessed language-learning aptitude using the Culture Fairtest and metalinguistic awareness through an exit questionnaire.Awareness correlated with aptitude (r = .40) and comprehension(r = .70). Analyses indicated that the effect of aptitude oncomprehension was indirect and mediated by awareness. 8:20am - 8:35am COMPARING CASE-MARKING AND WORD ORDER ONSENTENCE COMPREHENSION IN TURKISH SENTENCES M. YARKIN ERGIN, KARIN STROMSWOLD (RUTGERSUNIVERSITY, THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW JERSEY) In languages like English that have strict word order and

impoverished grammatical case systems, people rely heavily onword order when they interpret what sentences mean. Weexamined the strength of word order and case in a Turkish, whichhas flexible word-order and a rich case system. In acomprehension study, we found that, even though Turkish hasflexible word order and rich case system, Turkish adults reliedmore on word order than case. 8:40am - 8:55am IS PREDICTIVE PROCESSING IMPAIRED INDEVELOPMENTAL LANGUAGE DISORDER? AMETA-ANALYSIS GAVKHAR ABDUROKHMONOVA (NEW YORK STATEPSYCHIATRIC INSTITUTE), NICOLE M. ZAPPARRATA, C.DONNAN GRAVELLE, PATRICIA J. BROOKS (THE COLLEGEOF STATEN ISLAND AND THE GRADUATE CENTER, CUNY) The hypothesis that Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) isassociated with impairment in anticipatory predictive processingwas explored through a meta-analysis of lexical priming studies.Comparison of DLD and age-matched neurotypical groups in 11studies (k) with 24 effects (m) indicated smaller priming effects inDLD groups, g = 0.17, p = .02, 95% CI 0.03; 0.30). To confirmfindings, future work should expand study selection criteria toinclude additional measures of predictive processing.

BRITTANY HANSON, DANIEL WISNESKI, ZEENAT AHMED(SAINT PETERS UNIVERSITY), MARK BRANDT (MICHIGANSTATE UNIVERSITY), LINDA SKITKA (UNIVERSITY OFILLINOIS AT CHICAGO) When people feel moral conviction about a political attitude, theyare less likely to accept outcomes that conflict with their beliefsand see authorities that produced the outcome as less legitimate.The current study replicated and extended this work in thecontext of the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election. We find that theeffect of moral conviction on perceptions of election fairness andacceptance was driven by how people felt about Trump more sothan Biden. 9:50am - 10:05am WAS IT JUSTIFIED?

GENDER IN SEXUAL HARASSMENT CASES KATLYN FARNUM, HANNAH CURRAN (COLLEGE OF SAINTROSE) #MeToo saw an increase in reporting sexual harassment publiclydespite ambiguous legal protections for such whistleblowing. Toexamine perceptions of whistleblowers, a 2 (gender) x 2 (sexualharassment type) between participants experiment wasconducted. Participants read about a whistleblower going to anewspaper about workplace harassment and then completedmeasures on whistleblower perceptions and justification ofretaliation. Retaliation was deemed the most justified againstmale whistleblowers of severe harassment due to perceptions ofulterior motives. 10:10am - 10:25am REPRESENTATION AND RESPECT OF QUEER AND TRANSIDENTITIES IN COLLEGE CLASSROOMS EMMA FREDRICK, KAYLA MAGUIRE (MARIST COLLEGE) The number LGBTQ+ college students is increasing, yetresearch on their experiences of representation and respect inthe classroom is lacking. We found that perceptions of campusclimate correlated with hearing classmates make derogatorycomments and professors addressing those comments, as wellas professors asking about names and pronouns and includingreadings and class discussion on LGBTQ+ topics. Perceptions ofcampus climate were then linked with psychological distress andfeelings of belonging on campus.

CHAIR: TAMARAH SMITH

9:30am - 9:45am TEACHING STRATEGIES FOR IMPROVING PSYCHOLOGYSTUDENT ACHIEVEMENT BEHAVIORS IN STATISTICS TAMARAH SMITH (GWYNEDD MERCY UNIVERSITY), TINGDAI (UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT CHICAGO) Psychology majors report that statistics are “useless”, have lowinterest in statistics and find little value in taking statistics. Giventhat attitudes towards statistics have a direct relationship withcourse outcomes, it is important to address the negative attitudesthat psychology majors hold. Data from N=301 psychologystatistics students revealed relationships between interest andenjoyment, utility value and achievement behaviors in statistics.Practical classroom strategies for improving psychology students’attitudes towards statistics will be reviewed.

9:50am - 10:05am DO PERSONALITY TRAITS ALIGN WITH GRADUATESTUDENTS’ TEACHING APPROACHES AND PRACTICES? ELIZABETH S. CHE (COLLEGE OF STATEN ISLAND AND THEGRADUATE CENTER, CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK),ANNA M. SCHWARTZ (BOUVÉ COLLEGE OF HEALTHSCIENCES, NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY), RONALD C.WHITEMAN (BARUCH COLLEGE, CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEWYORK), ETHLYN S. SALTZMAN (THE GRADUATE CENTER,CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK), PATRICIA J. BROOKS(COLLEGE OF STATEN ISLAND AND THE GRADUATECENTER, CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK) An online survey of graduate students employed as collegeinstructors (N=109) explored how teaching approaches andpractices (e.g., active learning) varied as a function ofexperience, professional development, and Big Five personalitytraits. Regression models indicated associations betweenpersonality traits (especially openness and conscientiousness)and approaches/practices after controlling for experience andprofessional development. Results suggest that personality mayplay a larger role in how graduate students go about teachingthan previously recognized. 10:10am - 10:25am ENK AS A FRAMEWORK FOR DEI INITIATIVES INUNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH MICHAEL OVERTON (BETHANY COLLEGE) Typical undergraduate research has not been inclusive, both as afunction of research (being conducted) and an outcome ofresearch (conducted on). The very nature of typical positivistundergraduate research promotes a positivist and colonialmindset which precludes many underrepresented populations,minority populations, and marginalized individuals fromparticipating/telling their stories. One possible vehicle to restoreequity among those that promote and believe in the value ofundergraduate research is Embodied Narrative Knowing (ENK). 10:30am - 10:45am USING AN INTERACTIVE DIGITAL WORKBOOK TO LEARNAND MASTER APA STYLE HAYLEY KAMIN (AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICALASSOCIATION) APA Style guidelines provide a foundation for effective scholarlycommunication essential to academic and professional success.The Mastering APA Style Student Workbook is a high-qualitydigital resource for teaching and learning APA Style.

CHAIR: MATT LATTAL

PREDICTION ERROR AND EXTINCTION IN APPETITIVE ANDAVERSIVE LEARNING The idea that learning proceeds as a function of the predictionerror between expected and obtained outcomes has been centralto theoretical and neurobiological approaches to associativelearning. In this symposium, we explore how prediction errorsignal encoding is regulated by cellular and molecularmechanisms in the prefrontal cortex, ventral tegmental area, andamygdala to impact initial learning and extinction.

CLINICAL POSTERS: SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENTSaturday, March 5, 2022

9:30am-10:50am

POSTER 1 POSITIVE REPETITIVE THINKING PREDICTS QUALITY OFLIFE IN AUTISTIC ADULTS TREY SCULL, CHRISTOPHER PELLEGRINO, JAREDRICHARDS, KATHERINE GOTHAM (ROWAN UNIVERSITY),SAMANTHA MATTHEISS (FELICIAN UNIVERSITY) Repetitive thinking is more common in autistic (vs. non-autistic)adults, and is linked to adverse outcomes (Gotham et al., 2014).We aimed to examine if any facets of repetitive thinking predictbetter quality of life among autistic adults. Through an onlineautism registry, N=762 participants completed our survey battery

on repetitive thinking and emotional health. Repetitive thinkingassociated with problem-solving, savoring, and engaging inspecial interests socially, was associated with increased qualityof life. POSTER 2 MINDFULNESS AND MEDITATION INFORMATION ONLINE: ACONTENT ANALYSIS ALYSSA MILLER, JENNA MARX, JASMINE LOCKE, JACOBBEARD, KAYCI STROUS, EMILY FRAZIER (LEBANONVALLEY COLLEGE) The present study evaluated the adherence of websites (N=136)found using the keywords “mindfulness” and “meditation” to thePLAIN Language Guidelines, evaluating their clarity to thegeneral population. There was no significant difference inadherence between the two keywords to the guidelines overall,but there were significant differences in the specific domainsactive voice and multimedia use. Implications and futuredirections are discussed. POSTER 3 HOW TO SUPPORT HELPING PROFESSIONALS DURING ATIME OF CRISIS. NILOFER NAQVI, MARY JANE SKELLY, SAMANTHASCICCHITANO (IONA COLLEGE) This poster presents the background of the mental health crisisamong helping professionals and presents on two case studiesthat address interventions at both the individual an systemiclevel. The poster also presents on a possible research study thatcan further explore this using remote technologies. POSTER 4 PREDICTING TREATMENT STIGMA USING ATTITUDESASSOCIATED WITH SELF-RELIANCE PATRICK DAWID, CHRISTIE KARPIAK (UNIVERSITY OFSCRANTON) In this study, we investigated how avoidance goals and valuesconceptually related to self-reliance predicted attitudes towardspsychological help and treatment stigma. Our sample consistedof 45 college students in an introductory psychology course.Participants completed multiple measures of treatment stigma,values, and goals. Our data suggest that attitudes towardshelp-seeking are predicted by achievement values and emotionalcontrol. Additionally, we found that treatment stigma is related toavoidance of vulnerability and self-reliance. POSTER 5 GPA PROGRESSION STANDARDS RELATED TODEPRESSION AND ANXIETY IN A STUDENT POPULATION RANELL MUELLER, MARNIE MOIST (SAINT FRANCISUNIVERSITY) Introduction: This study investigated whether rates of depression

69

and anxiety in health sciences students are correlated with theirmajor’s GPA progression standardsMethods: An anonymous, self-report, electronic survey wasemailed to all health science students to voluntarily complete andreturn. Multiple regression models were run split by progressionstandardsResults: We found that for non-progression majors, anxiety iscorrelated with higher rates of depression: we found that forcontinuing progression majors, overall GPA and anxietypredicted POSTER 6 NARCISSISM: PSYCHOPATHY, AGGRESSION, ANDINTEROCEPTIVE AWARENESS BLEUE SILKENSEN, JESSICA MOBBS, NOAH JOHNSON,SOPHIE DALEY (ITHACA COLLEGE) The current study explored relationships between narcissism andpsychopathy, narcissism and aggression, and narcissism andinteroceptive awareness. The study replicated associationsidentified previously and explored the relationship withinteroceptive awareness. A sample of 340 college agedparticipants completed the online study and the results largelydemonstrated the predicted relationships with narcissism beingclosely related to primary psychopathy and all forms ofaggression. The association with interoceptive awareness was inthe opposite direction to previous findings. POSTER 7 RESILIENCE AND OPTIMISM: VARIATION ACROSSSTUDENT RACIAL GROUPS MICHELLE PEI, CADE FERRERAS, ISAAC PEREZ, CAMRYNO'LEARY (ITHACA COLLEGE) The current study explored variability in the levels of resilienceand optimism across a wide range of racial groups. A sample of62,025 college age participants completed an online survey thatincluded measures of resilience, optimism, and depression.Significant differences in resilience and optimism were foundbetween groups. The results are discussed. POSTER 8 EXAMINATION OF RURAL COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTHNEEDS HANNAH DEES, JASMINE BOOTS, ANNIE BARTEL,ISHIYIHMIE BURRELL, KATHRYN WESTCOTT (JUNIATACOLLEGE) This study focuses on perceived structural and attitudinal barriersto mental health services in a rural community. Previous researchhas identified a variety of structural as well as attitudinal barriersto mental health services, particularly for those who experiencepoverty and have lower levels of formal education. Data analysisrevealed that there were no significant differences in barriers tomental health services for those living in poverty or those withlower educational levels. POSTER 9

TRAIT-MINDFULNESS IN THE CONTEXT OF BPD FEATURESAND PERCEIVED ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP QUALITY HYUNGJI KIM (LONG ISLAND UNIVERSITY, BROOKLYN),LIZA RIMSKY (THE MOTHERHOOD CENTER OF NEW YORK),KEVIN MEEHAN (LONG ISLAND UNIVERSITY, BROOKLYN) This study aimed to address the inconsistent findings regardingthe relationship between borderline personality disorder (BPD)and perceived romantic relationship quality (PRRQ) by examiningthe moderating effects of two trait mindfulness components onPRRQ among participants with BPD features (N = 131). Ashypothesized, individuals with BPD features reported lower levelsof PRRQ as moderated by higher nonjudging of inner experienceand lower decentering traits while controlling for the effects ofgender and depressive symptoms. POSTER 10 GENDER DIFFERENCES IN UNWANTED PURSUITBEHAVIORS AND RELATIONSHIP RECONCILIATIONAMONG COLLEGE STUDENTS LAILA A. FAHMY, CAROLINE C. COONEY, MIRANDAHIGDON, SAGE SADAK, CHRISTINA M. DARDIS (TOWSONUNIVERSITY) The present study examined gender differences in relationshipreconciliation among undergraduates (n = 821) who engaged inunwanted pursuit behaviors (UPBs) toward their former partners.The differences in the type of UPBs were also explored. Of the670 who disclosed UPBs, both men and women who engaged insevere UPBs were more likely to reconcile the relationship. Minorbehaviors were only significant in women. These associationsindicate a reinforcement of such behaviors. POSTER 11 THE STUDENT CAREBOOK (PHASE 1): IDENTIFYINGHIGH-RISK STUDENTS AND BUILDING RESILIENCY RACHEL GROHBRUGGE (STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEWYORK AT POTSDAM), CLAIRE J STARRS (MCGUILLUNIVERSITY) The aims of the current study were two-fold, 1) to develop auser-friendly assessment (Student Carebook) that identifiescollege students currently experiencing high stress, distressand/or risky behaviors, and 2) to examine construct validity.Results showed that the carebook successfully identified at-riskstudents, whilst also providing information about potential riskand resiliency factors. Phase two of this project aims to develop amatched intervention specifically focused on reducing risk anddeveloping resiliency. POSTER 12 CHILDHOOD MALTREATMENT, INTERPERSONALPROBLEMS, AND INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE:IDENTIFYING MEDIATORS IN AYELET MALINSKY, SARAH CHIARA HADEN (LONG ISLANDUNIVERSITY - BROOKLYN)

70

The current study tested whether maladaptive interpersonalproblems mediate the relationship between childhoodmaltreatment and psychological and physical abuse in adultintimate relationships in a sample of 534 male and femaleuniversity students who endorsed being in a romantic relationshipin the past year. Significant effects were found that implicateinterpersonal problems as an important mediating factor in thecycle of violence. POSTER 13 ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES, MENTAL HEALTH,AND SUBSTANCE (MIS)USE IN UNDERGRADUATESTUDENTS JEFFREY LEITZEL (BLOOMSUBRG UNIVERSITY OF PA),MATTHEW BUCHER (BLOOMSBURG UNIVERSITY OF PA) Experiences that one has during their childhood and adolescencecan be seen as setting the stage for physical, emotional, andpsychological health later in life. Adverse childhood experiencesare clearly associated with mental health problems and levels ofsubstance (mis)use later in life. This study explores themagnitude and pattern of the relationships between adversechildhood experiences, mental health, and substance use acrossa variety of indicators in a group of 318 undergraduate students. POSTER 14 MINDFULNESS IN THE METACOGNITIVE MODEL FORANXIETY AND DEPRESSION MOIRA KELLAHER, ASHLEY BORDERS (THE COLLEGE OFNEW JERSEY) The metacognitive model of mood disorders posits that mooddisorders like depression and anxiety arise from a state ofrepetitive negative thinking that is perpetuated by metacognitivebeliefs about repetitive thinking. This study investigatesmindfulness as a moderator of this model. While support wasfound for the metacognitive model predicting depressive andanxiety symptoms, mindfulness only moderated someassociations. POSTER 15 THE IMPACT OF PARENTAL BONDING AND FAMILYENVIRONMENT ON PERSONALITY LAUREN LLOVERAS, LISA CARABALLO, WILSONMCDERMUT (ST. JOHN'S UNIVERSITY) There is a dearth of research on the psychosocial anddevelopmental antecedents of personality. The present studyexamines patterns of parental bonding, specifically care andoverprotection, and family environment factors associated withself-reported general and maladaptive personality inundergraduate psychology students (N=274) at St. John’sUniversity. Results of bivariate correlations and hierarchicalmultiple linear regressions suggest that parental care and familyenvironment may be critical psychosocial antecedents topersonality development.

POSTER 16 ROMANTIC OR STIGMATIZING: MEDIA AFFECTS ONYOUNG ADULTS’ PERCEPTIONS OF MENTAL ILLNESS CHRISTINA FARRIS, BRIDGET HEARON (ALBRIGHTCOLLEGE) Media portrayals of mental illness are often inaccurate leading tostigmatization of sufferers (Hoffner & Cohen, 2015); however,work is needed to understand what individual characteristics ofthe viewer may influence their interpretation. The current study of208 adults randomized to watch a romanticized portrayal ofdepression, a factual program, or a control clip found that viewerempathy, pre-existing depression symptoms, and stress mayserve as moderators of depression knowledge, stigmatizingbeliefs, and immediate mood. POSTER 17 EMOTION DYSREGULATION: A PREDICTOR OFDEPRESSION, SOCIAL ANXIETY, AND COMORBIDCONDITIONS RACHEL RUNGE (MANHATTAN COLLEGE) This study examines emotion dysregulation as a predictor ofdepression and anxiety. Participants completed three establishedself-report inventories, measuring emotion dysregulation,depression, and social anxiety. Participants were also randomlyassigned read an anxiety provoking or neutral story. The resultsshowed the dysregulation was significantly related to depressionand anxiety, but there was no interaction with the scenarios. Thissuggests that emotional dysregulation acts as a predictor fordepression and anxiety. POSTER 18 BOREDOM AND AVOIDANCE LEARNING MATTHEW HANNA, ALI REVILL, EMILY R WEISS,MCWELLING TODMAN, SAPNA DESAI, OZGE PAZAR (NEWSCHOOL FOR SOCIAL RESEARCH) This study examined whether the aversive experience boredomis capable of producing a conditioned avoidance response.Participants completed an online boredom induction task in whichinstructions were presented repeatedly in either a purple (CS) orwhite (Control) text box. Participants then selected betweenoptions presented within either a purple (CS-Concordant) or agreen (CS-Discordant) text box. Contrary to predictions,participants in the CS group were not more likely to makeCS-Discordant selections. POSTER 19 THE ROLE OF SELF-DISGUST, SELF-OBJECTIFICATION,AND AGING ANXIETY ON BODY IMAGE SHANE GEORGE, NANCY DORR (THE COLLEGE OF SAINTROSE) The current study examined self-disgust, self-objectification, andaging anxiety as predictors of body image disturbance and food

71

avoidance. College student participants completed self-reportmeasures of these variables. Results indicated that self-disgustdid significantly predict body image disturbance and foodavoidance, as did several domains of self-objectification.Furthermore, self-disgust, self-objectification, and aging anxietywere all correlated with body image disturbance and avoidancetoward food cravings. POSTER 20 BOREDOM PRONENESS AND TOLERANCE FOR BOREDOM:A POST-HOC EXPLORATORY ANALYSIS ALI REVILL, EMILY WEISS, MCWELLING TODMAN, SARAHELNAWASRA (THE NEW SCHOOL FOR SOCIAL RESEARCH),JULIANA RICCARDI (THE NEW SCHOOL) The potential association between boredom proneness, thepropensity to experience boredom, and tolerance for boredomhas not been widely investigated. Previous research suggeststhat boredom proneness is inversely related to tolerance for bothdistress and frustration, suggesting that boredom proneness isalso inversely associated with boredom tolerance. Contrary topredictions, logistic regression analysis revealed that higherlevels of boredom proneness were associated with lower levelsof dropout in a boredom inducing task. POSTER 21 DEPRESSIVE DISORDER DIAGNOSTIC & TREATMENTPROCESS AMONG UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS AMBER NORWOOD, SHANNON PETERSON, KASEYSCHUCHARDT, ABIGAIL HEISTER (SHIPPENSBURGUNIVERSITY) Depressive disorder diagnosis and treatment process wasexamined in 102 undergraduate students. General practitionersdiagnosed depressive disorders in this sample at the highestrate, followed by counselors/therapists and psychiatrists. Morethan half of the individuals diagnosed with a depressive disorderhave engaged in current non-medicinal treatment (n=61, 59.8%). Of the multiple treatment options recommended by providers,participating in psychotherapy and being prescribedantidepressant medication were most often recommended (n=57,55.9%). POSTER 22 RELATIONSHIP OF SELF STATED DEPRESSION AND BDISCORES DARIEN CHISMAR, KELLY JOHNSON, MICHEAL AINETTE(DOMINICAN COLLEGE OF BLAUVELT) Two studies examined college students’ Beck DepressionInventory (BDI) scores. In Study 1, students were primed byasking them simply if they were depressed, followed by the BDI,and then the same question about depression. A second groupcompleted the BDI followed by the single question aboutdepression. The primed group was significantly more depressed.A second study found that knowledge of depression symptomspredicted self-reported depression on the BDI at p = .05.

POSTER 23 THE REACTIVE VULNERABLE NARCISSIST AND THECOMPLEX RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN NARCISSISM ANDAGGRESSION SYDNEY A. PROUX, JENNIFER U. LE, KATHERINE S. L. LAU(STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK AT ONEONTA) The purpose of this study is to examine how vulnerable andgrandiose narcissism are uniquely related to the four subtypes ofaggression in a sample of 437 undergraduates. Regressionanalyses were used to test the associations between thesubtypes of narcissism and aggression. Results indicated thatgrandiose narcissism and vulnerable narcissism were bothuniquely associated with proactive relational, proactive overt,reactive relational, and reactive overt aggression, and alsoshowed a differential pattern of associations. POSTER 24 RELATIONAL AGGRESSION, VICTIMIZATION, ANDSELF-CONCEPT IN COLLEGE STUDENTS ALLYSON MATRASSI, SARAH BLAKELY-MCCLURE(CANISIUS COLLEGE) This study examines associations between relational aggressionand victimization on self-worth and academic self-concept,controlling for physical aggression and victimization, and COVIDconcerns/experiences in college students. Our findings indicatethat relational victimization is negatively associated with globalself-worth and academic self-concept. We also found that COVIDconcerns were negatively associated with global self-worthindicating an impact of the pandemic on College students.Implications for this work are discussed. POSTER 25 EVALUATIVE CONCERNS AND EXTERNALIZINGDISORDERS: THE MEDIATING ROLE OF SUPPRESSIONAND IRRITABILITY DIADORA FINLEY, KATHRYN BOHM, MICHELA LOPEZ,ALEXANDRA BURGESS (WORCESTER STATE UNIVERSITY) Perfectionistic evaluative concerns, a known transdiagnostic riskfactor for internalizing psychopathology, may also be related toexternalizing psychopathology in young adults through emotionalsuppression and irritability. Nine hundred and ninetyundergraduate participants completed questionnaires aboutperfectionism, emotional regulation, and externalizing disorders.Preliminary findings suggest that evaluative concernsperfectionism is indeed related to externalizing psychopathology;mediational analyses are forthcoming. Understanding the natureof perfectionism as a transdiagnostic risk factor forpsychopathology has implications for clinical treatment. POSTER 26 SPECIAL INTERESTS IN WOMEN WITH AUTISM KATHERINE BEITIA, TIFFANY MCGLOWAN, CATHERINECALDWELL-HARRIS (BOSTON UNIVERSITY)

72

This study explores how autistic females engage in specialinterests, a core feature of autism. Analysis of special interestsdiscussions in autistic women’s online forums suggests thatspecial interests facilitate self-regulation, systemizing, and fosterfeelings of competence and proficiency from developingexpertise. Throughout the forums, autistic women discuss theirintensity and commitment to their interests and how thisdedication can lead them to reach a sense of mastery. POSTER 27 GENDER DIFFERENCES IN ALCOHOL USE,CONSEQUENCES, AND EXPECTATIONS IN BINGEDRINKING STUDENTS. MELANIE L. MOHN, MADISON L. CORSO, JACQUELINE A.GERSTENBERGER, PAULLER A. MUSYOKA, WILLIAM J.KOWALCZYK (HARTWICK COLLEGE) Sex differences in the behavioral consequences of alcoholintoxication are not well known due to the lack of equivalentdrinking behavior and retrospective methods. The present studyexamines these differences using retrospective and daily diaryassessments in college binge drinkers. In retrospective reportsfemales were less likely to pass out from drinking. In daily diariesfemales reported a higher percentage of falling and embarrassingthemselves, and rated getting aggressive and nausea/vomitingas worse than men. POSTER 28 THE MANIFESTATIONS AND ATTITUDES OF DEPRESSIONIN MALES VS. FEMALES IN JELISAVETA J. AGATONOVIC, ERIN MORAN, REGINA DELPILAR, SARAH KELLY (WASHINGTON COLLEGE) The study examined manifestations of depression in collegeaged males and females, their academic area of focus, andattitudes towards seeking help. One hundred and fiveparticipants filled out a demographic questionnaire, the MADRSDepression Scale, and the Fischer and Farina (1995) Scale.Participants reported their moods, feelings of depression, andwillingness to seek treatment. Results indicated differencesbetween gender and depression rates. However, there was nodifference between gender and academic area of focus. POSTER 29 THERAPEUTIC ALLIANCE IN FAMILY-BASED TREATMENTOF ANOREXIA NERVOSA: IN-PERSON VERSUSTELEHEALTH REPORTS CHLOE CONNOR (THE PENNSYLVANIA STATEUNIVERSITY), MARITA COOPER, NATALIA ORLOFF, CATEMORALES, REBECKA PEEBLES, C. ALIX TIMKO (THECHILDREN'S HOSPITAL OF PHILADELPHIA) Therapeutic alliance may predict weight gain in the treatment ofanorexia nervosa; yet, it is unclear how the shift to telehealthduring the pandemic impacted this. In a trial comparingtherapeutic alliance during family-based treatment acrossplatforms, stronger alliance was reported by therapist and

mothers for in-person treatment, but not for adolescents andfathers. Therapeutic alliance did not impact weight gain. Furtherinvestigation is needed into the relationship between alliance andweight gain, across platforms. POSTER 30 STRENGTH REFLECTIONS ENHANCE MOTIVATION TOLEARN A STRESS REDUCTION TECHNIQUE TAYLOR DUNN, STEVEN ROBBINS (ARCADIA UNIVERSITY) We examined whether reflecting on personal strengths ratherthan personal weaknesses might boost an individual’sreadiness-to-change and motivation to learn a stress-reducingbehavioral strategy (Progressive Muscle Relaxation). Participantswere randomly assigned to either a group that reflects oncharacter strengths or a group that reflects on characterweaknesses. A MANOVA including a readiness-to-change score,time spent watching a PMR video, and the number of PMR stepsrecalled demonstrated a significant advantage for the strengthgroup. POSTER 31 GENDER AND CULTURAL DIFFERENCES IN NONSUICIDALSELF-INJURIOUS BEHAVIORS AMONG ADOLESCENTS ANDREW PARK (NORTHERN VALLEY REGIONAL HIGHSCHOOL AT OLD TAPPAN), JAIMIE PARK, WILLIAM TSAI(NEW YORK UNIVERSITY) This study analyzed the relationships between nonsuicidalself-injury (NSSI) rates and social support and parental supportamong European American and Vietnamese American boys andgirls. European American girls endorsed the highest rates ofNSSI, followed by Vietnamese American girls, VietnameseAmerican boys, and European American boys endorsed thelowest. Higher levels of NSSI were associated with low academicachievement, low family support, and low peer support amongEuropean American and Vietnamese American girls POSTER 32 SMARTPHONE EXPERTISE AND ITS RELATION TOVARIANTS OF ANXIETY IN OLDER ADULTS XIAOXIAO (CHRISTINE) WANG, WILLIAM TSANG, SOFIAMAGEE, LAUREN DALOKAY, JAN MOHLMAN (WILLIAMPATERSON UNIVERSITY) Research on smartphone expertise in older adults is crucial toidentifying barriers and minimizing the digital divide. A behavioraltask, Smartphone Task for Older Adults (STOA) was used, withself-report measures of anxiety (e.g., trait, social) and perceiveddigital proficiency. STOA scores were positively related toeducation and self-reported mobile device proficiency; andnegatively related to age, tech-related anxiety, and in-vivofrustration, but not social or trait anxiety. Anxiety managementskills could facilitate smartphone training. POSTER 33 MALADAPTIVE SCHEMAS IN MISOPHONIA

73

USHA BARAHMAND (CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK,QUEENS COLLEGE), MARIA STALIAS MANTZIKOS (STATEUNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK, WESTCHESTER COMMUNITYCOLLEGE), NAILA SHAMSINA (CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEWYORK, QUEENS COLLEGE), KERRY AGUERO (CITYUNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK), LAURISA PETERS (CITYUNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK, QUEENS COLLEGE) Early maladaptive schema (EMS) of insufficient self-control wasa common predictor of all aspects of misophonia, while higherage, female gender and higher social isolation/alienation EMSwere predictive of the aversive emotional reactions inmisophonia. Dependence and unrelenting standards EMS werespecific predictors of non-aggressive reactions while dependenceand vulnerability EMS which were specific predictors ofaggressive reactions to misophonic triggers. Findings imply thatschema therapy may be an effective intervention to alleviatemisophonic distress. POSTER 34 CHILDHOOD TRAUMA, ANXIETY, AND DEPRESSIONBUFFERED BY SOCIAL SUPPORT FROM FRIENDS CAROL ANN MELDRIM, JOHN EGAN, JADA ROJAS, GENNABRICKER (ITHACA COLLEGE) This paper explores the relationship between childhood traumaand adult depression as well as anxiety. It also tests how socialsupport from friends may moderate this relationship. 340Respondents completed the childhood trauma questionnaire(CTQ), Zung Self-Rated Anxiety Scale, Zung Self-RatingDepression Scale, and Perceived Stress Scale were used in thisstudy. Childhood trauma predicted depression and anxiety. Ofthe various forms of abuse and neglect emotional abuse was themost predictive. POSTER 35 HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS NUMB STYLE AND THEEMOTIONAL AND INTERPERSONAL FUNCTIONING OFOFFSPRING WILLIAM KATZMAN, SARA KAPLAN, NICHOLAS PAPOUCHIS,LISA SAMSTAG (LONG ISLAND UNIVERSITY - BROOKLYN) The study explored how Holocaust survivors’ numb adaptationalstyle (numb style) influences their offspring’s emotional andinterpersonal functioning. The numb style describes survivorswho are reluctant to share their experiences during the Holocaustwith their families and who are devoid of emotionalcommunication. Offspring’s ability to process and express theiremotions mediated the relationship between survivors’ numbstyle and offspring’s interpersonal distress. The results highlighthow trauma from the Holocaust continues to affect subsequentgenerations. POSTER 36 A MULTIMETHOD ASSESSMENT OF IMPULSIVITY IN THECONTEXT OF ALCOHOL USE COLE CAVANAUGH, EMMA PIEL (SUSQUEHANNA

UNIVERSITY), REBECCA HOUSTON (ROCHESTERINSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY), JOHN MONOPOLI(SUSQUEHANNA UNIVERSITY) The goals of our study were to 1) investigate the degree to whichimpulsivity, as assessed via multiple methods, was associatedwith alcohol use problems; and 2) explore whether gendermoderated any of these relations. In a sample of 101 emergingadults, we found that self-reports of reward sensitivity and deficitsin the ability to inhibit a prepotent response were most associatedwith alcohol use problems. We did not find evidence formoderation. POSTER 37 CORRELATES OF DEPRESSION AMONG LESBIAN WOMENFROM EAST ASIA SHIYUN CHEN, PHILIP WONG (LONG ISLAND UNIVERSITY,BROOKLYN) Literature is lacking to explain the mechanisms behind therelationship between internalized homophobia and depression.Research studying lesbians from East Asia has been historicallyscarce. This study will explore how internalized homophobiaimpacts depression among lesbian women from East Asia. Theresults of this study showed that 1) there was a significant,positive relationship between internalized homophobia anddepression.; 2) there was a significant indirect effect betweeninternalized homophobia and depression through self-esteem. POSTER 38 CAUSES AND SYMPTOMS OF ANIMAL RIGHTS ACTIVISTBURNOUT STACY LOPRESTI-GOODMAN (MARYMOUNT UNIVERSITY),PAUL GORSKI (EQUITY LITERACY INSTITUTE), DALLASRISING (ANIMAL RIGHTS COALITION) Social movement burnout is characterized by exhaustion,cynicism, and feelings of ineffectiveness. We examined burnoutin 17 US animal rights activists. The data from in-depthinterviews revealed three main causes (motivational,organizational, cultural) and three main symptoms (motivational,emotional, physical). Illustrative quotes from participants will beused to explain the themes. We will suggest ways to preventburnout, highlight why it is important for improving individuals’well-being, as well as a social movements’ viability. POSTER 39 THE ROLE OF MENTALIZATION IN THE ETIOLOGY OFSEXUAL AGGRESSION WILLIAM RUNGE, LISA WALLNER SAMSTAG (LONG ISLANDUNIVERSITY BROOKLYN) This study examined whether mentalization deficits mediate therelationship between anxious attachment, hostile masculinity,and sexual aggression, using a sample of 199 cisgenderheterosexual men, 18-30 years old. As predicted, the resultsshowed that poor mentalization fully mediated the relationshipbetween anxious attachment and hostile masculinity, which in

74

turn predicted sexual aggression in a serial multiple mediatormodel. This study therefore indicates that mentalizing deficitsplay a role in the etiology of male sexual aggression. POSTER 40 ATTACHMENT AND OUTCOME IN BRIEF DYNAMICPSYCHOTHERAPY: PERSPECTIVES FROM A TRAININGCLINIC SAMANTHA BAKKE, XIQIAO CHEN, SALLY MCHUGH, NETTAKEESOM, MELANY RIVERA MALDONADO (THE NEWSCHOOL) Brief psychodynamic therapy (BPT) has shown to be effective infacilitating positive outcome change across a wide spectrum ofdisorders. However, there may be variation in results dependingon the quality of the therapeutic relationship. This study exploredthe relationship between client’s attachment avoidance andanxiety and psychotherapy outcome change in a 20-session,brief psychodynamic treatment. Results showed that loweravoidance levels were associated with psychotherapy change, asmeasured by psychological, social, and overall functioning. POSTER 41 THE IMPACT OF THERAPIST SELF-EFFICACY ONCOUNTERTRANSFERENCE WITH SUICIDAL PATIENTS SARAH MITTY, LISA SAMSTAG (LONG ISLAND UNIVERSITY) The present study examined therapist factors that influencecountertransference (CT) toward suicidal patients. 126 therapistswho work with suicidal patients completed an onlinequestionnaire. Findings indicated that therapist State Anxiety,Trait Anxiety, and Working Alliance ratings were all associatedwith CT reactions to suicidal patients, replicating and generalizingfindings from Barzilay et al. (2018). Self-Efficacy was alsoassociated with CT reactions to suicidal patients. Implications fortreatment of suicidal patients and therapist training arediscussed. POSTER 42 CHILDHOOD ADVERSITY AS A PREDICTOR OFDEPRESSIVE AND AGGRESSIVE RUMINATION RENEE MALENFANT, JODI SUTHERLAND, EVELYNHERNANDEZ, KELSEY MARKEY, HECTOR LOPEZ-VERGARA(UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND) Adverse childhood experiences are linked to mental health,though most research collapses across distinct types ofchildhood trauma (the cumulative risk approach). The presentstudy “unpacked” adverse childhood experiences characterizedby threat (emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse) anddeprivation (emotional neglect, physical neglect) to predictrepetitive negative thinking (RNT) on depressive and aggressivecontent. Increased levels of physical abuse correlated withincreased rumination on depressive content. Childhoodexperiences may shape how individuals think. POSTER 43

Methods: Qualitative interviews were conducted with participants(n=8) experienced with medication for OUD and released fromjail/prison within the past year.

Conclusions: Effective technology-based interventions withCJ-involved populations must account for the financial andlogistical barriers to accessing technology these individuals facefollowing release. POSTER 44 FILLING THE VOID: A TWO-PART STUDY OF ACQUIRING,DISCARDING, AND BOREDOM EMILY WEISS, MCWELLING TODMAN (THE NEW SCHOOLFOR SOCIAL RESEARCH), MAYA ISMACH, JULIANARICCARDI, NATALIE VINCENT (THE NEW SCHOOL),DEBORAH JARMEL (THE NEW SCHOOL FOR SOCIALRESEARCH) Individuals with compulsive hoarding struggle to discardpossessions and are often compelled to acquire new items.Study 1 (n = 115) demonstrated that individuals with clinicallysignificant hoarding report higher boredom than non-clinicalcontrols. Participants who were more prone to boredom acquiredmore and discarded less on a behavioral measure of Acquiringand Discarding. Study 2 (n = 48) showed that individualsreporting higher in-vivo boredom left fewer items on a behavioralmeasure of Acquiring. POSTER 45 PREDICTORS OF READINESS TO CHANGE AND SEEKINGHELP AMONG FEMALE VETERANS ALYSSA GIANNONE, BRANDI L. ROELK (CENTER FORINTEGRATED HEALTHCARE, SYRACUSE VA MEDICALCENTER), JENNIFER S.

SHEPARDSON (CENTER FOR INTEGRATEDHEALTHCARE, SYRACUSE VA MEDICAL CENTER;DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY, SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY) While reports of IPV rates among female Veterans remain high,many report not utilizing VA services, and their mental healthneeds are not being met. Data from an original study was used toidentify predictors of readiness to change and seeking help forrelationship concerns in a sample of female Veterans. Uponanalysis, several significant predictors were identified. Byunderstanding predictors, we can better understand motivationsfor utilizing treatment services.

Participants (n=10) received daily textmessages personalized to mood and craving assessments for8-weeks and completed measures of intervention satisfactionand perceived usability. Preliminary findings suggest that theintervention is perceived as acceptable to augment clinicaltreatment. Future work will evaluate the efficacy in a randomizedclinical trial.

POSTER 47 THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CAREGIVER STRESS,BELIEFS, ANXIETY AND PAIN DURING PEDIATRIC CANCER IRIS BERCOVITZ, LAUREN DANIEL (RUTGERSUNIVERSITY-CAMDEN) The study evaluates the relationship between caregiver stress,family beliefs, and caregiver and child report of pain and anxietyin a sample of caregivers and their child undergoing cancertreatment 2-12 months after diagnosis. Self-report measureswere collected. Findings showed significant positive associationbetween caregiver stress and family beliefs as well as caregiverstress and child reported pain. Caregiver stress may be animportant target of interventions in the pediatric cancerpopulation. POSTER 48 STATE-TRAIT RELATIONS BETWEEN EMOTIONS,SOCIALIZATION, AND PATTERNS OF CONSUMPTION ANDREW MIELE, JESSICA KORINS (ST. JOHN'SUNIVERSITY), IRENE BLAIR (UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO -BOULDER), ELIZABETH BRONDOLO (ST. JOHN'SUNIVERSITY) Previous research has found mixed relations betweensocialization, emotion, and patterns of consumption. In thecurrent study, we examined these relations within a sample ofAmerican Indian and Alaska Native participants, an understudiedgroup, using ecological momentary assessment. Whencontrolling for average levels of socialization and emotions,state-level positive emotion being with family/friends, and beingmarried were uniquely associated with differences in the rates ofconsumption of meals, snacks, and fruit/vegetables. POSTER 49 SUBTYPES OF ALCOHOL USE DISORDER PATIENTS ANDMEDICAL SERVICE UTILIZATION ASHLEY MENDIETA, ANDREW MIELE (SAINT JOHN'SUNIVERSITY), CAMERON NEINABER, ALAN ROTH, GINABASELLO (JAMAICA HOSPITAL MEDICAL CENTER),ELIZABETH BRONDOLO (SAINT JOHN'S UNIVERSITY) Alcohol use disorders (AUDs) encompass a heterogeneousgroup of disorders associated with high healthcare serviceutilization (HSU). Latent class analysis identified subgroups ofAUD patients varying in sociodemographic, clinical, andtreatment characteristics. Subgroups with primary AUDdiagnoses and fewer acute medical needs were more likely to bereadmitted within 30 days and present at readmission with AUDdiagnoses, and less likely to receive AUD-related treatments.These findings have implications for resource allocation for AUDpatients. POSTER 50 SELF-EFFICACY AND READINESS-TO-CHANGE AFTERDRINKING INTERVENTION AMONG INDIVIDUALS WITH HIV

76

AND HEPATITIS-C JENNIFER ELLIOTT (MOLLOY COLLEGE), MAHNOOR ALI(IQVIA), OLA RADECKA, DOUKESSA LERIAS (UNIVERSITYOF SOUTH AUSTRALIA), NOGA SHALEV (COLUMBIAUNIVERSITY), MALKA STOHL (NEW YORK STATEPSYCHIATRIC INSTITUTE), EFRAT AHARONOVICH,DEBORAH HASIN (COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY/NEW YORKSTATE PSYCHIATRIC INSTITUTE) For individuals coinfected with HIV and Hepatitis C virus (HCV),drinking poses risks. We previously found that an adapted NIAAAClinician’s Guide (CG) intervention plus the “HealthCall”smartphone app reduced drinking among individuals withHIV/HCV. We now assess differences in self-efficacy andreadiness to change. As compared with educational control,those receiving CG+HealthCall endorsed higher self-efficacyduring intervention (p<0.05) and marginally higher readiness totake steps to change drinking (p=0.06). Further research isindicated. POSTER 51 UNDETECTED BRAIN INJURIES AMONG SURVIVORS OFINTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE: EARLYASSESSMENT/INTERVENTION KATHLEEN TORSNEY (WILLIAM PATERSON UNIVERSITY) Survivors of interpersonal violence (IPV) are at an increased riskof concussions and traumatic brain injury as well as chronictraumatic encephalopathy, but awareness of the strong linkbetween IPV and TBI among service providers is lacking. Thisposter explores the state and national data regarding domesticviolence/interpersonal violence injuries from 2016-2019 andrecommends methods to assist law enforcement and clinicalprofessionals in better assessing for TBI among IPV survivors. POSTER 52 CLINICAL AND NON-CLINICAL FACTORS ASSOCIATEDWITH PHYSICAL RESTRAINT USE ACROSS SETTINGS AYANNA ALEXIS, LEIGHA CLARKE, RAUL LORENZO,ANDREW MIELE, BRANDON DIAL (SAINT JOHN'SUNIVERSITY), ALAN ROTH, GINA BASELLO, CAMERONNIENABER (JAMAICA HOSPITAL), ELIZABETH BRONDOLO(SAINT JOHN'S UNIVERSITY) Studies have shown significant variability in rates of physicalrestraint use across clinical settings. It is unclear if there areracial or socioeconomic disparities in restraint use acrosssettings. The current study examined the sociodemographicvariations in restraint use within emergency and inpatientsettings. The findings showed that the role of sociodemographicfactors varied between settings, while clinical factors associatedwith changes in mental status were associated with restraint useacross settings. POSTER 53 DIMENSIONAL MODELS OF PSYCHOPATHOLOGY ANDNEGATIVE THINKING STYLES

KELSEY MARKEY, RENNE MALENFANT, JODI SUTHERLANDCHARVIS, EVELYN HERNANDEZ VALENCIA, HECTORLOPEZ-VERGARA (UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND) We tested the association between eight dimensions of mentalhealth functioning with thinking styles characterized byperseveration on stress-induced negative information (i.e.,depressive and aggressive rumination). Depressive ruminationwas correlated with withdrawn-depressed, somatic, and attentionproblems; whereas aggressive rumination was associated withanxious-depressed, somatic, aggressive, and rule-breakingproblems. Repetitive negative thinking may be a transdiagnosticrisk factor, but the content of what people ruminate on may vary by symptom domain. POSTER 54 COMORBIDITY OF SOCIAL ANXIETY DISORDER ANDAVOIDANT PERSONALITY DISORDER: A META-ANALYTICREVIEW AARSHA RAGHAVAN, ROBERT F. BORNSTEIN (ADELPHIUNIVERSITY) Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) and Avoidant Personality Disorder(AVPD) show considerable symptomatic overlap, leadingclinicians to question whether they represent distinct syndromes.This study used meta-analytic techniques to synthesize thepublished literature on SAD-AVPD comorbidity (N of studies =16, total N of participants = 80,653). Overall SAD-AVPDcomorbidity was 30%, with psychiatric outpatient and inpatientsamples showing higher comorbidity than community samples.Clinical and empirical implications of these results are discussed. POSTER 55 THE EFFECT OF CBT ON SELF-HARM AMONG PATIENTSWITH INTERMITTENT EXPLOSIVE DISORDER KASHISH PATEL, KRISTEN SORGI-WILSON, MICHAELMCCLOSKEY (TEMPLE UNIVERSITY) Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED) is an aggressive disorderthat is also associated with increased self-harm. However,treatments for IED almost exclusively focus on other-directedaggression. This study assessed the efficacy of a 12-sessioncognitive-behavioral aggression intervention on both suicidal andnon-suicidal self-harm among 63 participants with IED. Resultsshowed significant reductions in both non-suicidal self-injury andsuicidality after treatment. This study highlights the efficacy ofCRCST in reducing self-directed aggression among those withIED. POSTER 56 BARRIERS AND RISK FACTORS RELATED TO TOBACCOQUIT RATE AND SUCCESS MICHAEL MCCOY, LOGAN FIELDS (ARCADIA UNIVERSITY,DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY), WALTER ROBERTS(YALE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE, DEPARTMENT OFPSYCHIATRY) Understanding the factors that impact successful smoking

UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH POSTERSSaturday, March 5, 2022

11:00am-12:20pm

POSTER 1 ADULTS’ PERCEPTION OF CHILD EYEWITNESSES: CHILDAGE AND EXPERIENCE WITH CHILDREN CLAIRE BORECKI, EVAN BURSTEIN, BRIANNA LAVALLE,ISABEL WARD, MARTHA ARTERBERRY (COLBY COLLEGE) To investigate the effect of child age, child sex, event scenarioand experience with children on adults’ perceptions of childeyewitnesses, adult participants read scenarios involving childtestimony rated their perceptions of memory reliability, honesty,belief in defendant guilt, and rendered a verdict. Child witnessage predicted perceptions of memory reliability. Additionally,memory reliability emerged as significant predictors of belief inguilt. Experience with children did not predict perceptions of childeyewitnesses. POSTER 2 EXPERIENCE MATTERS: PRIOR LEGAL AND ABUSEEXPERIENCE ON PERCEPTIONS OF CHILD WITNESSES VARUN BOOPATHI, ELIZABETH MARSH, HALLIESCHWARTZMAN, MARTHA ARTERBERRY (COLBYCOLLEGE) To investigate adults’ perceptions of child eyewitnesses,participants read a description varying an abusive event type,

78

child sex, and age. Participants rendered a guilty verdict, ratedbelief in guilt, memory reliability, and honesty and answeredquestions regarding their legal and abuse experiences. Weidentified an effect of legal experience on belief in guilt and abuseexperience on memory reliability. Specific eyewitness and/orparticipant characteristics predicted adults’ perceptions of childeyewitnesses in most conditions. POSTER 3 LONELINESS AND MENTAL HEALTH OF COLLEGESTUDENTS DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC DARYA KHODAKHAH, MARTIN SEEHUUS, ROBERTMOELLER (MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE) Loneliness, or the mismatch between desired versusexperienced social relationships, is common for young adultstransitioning into college. In Spring 2020, the COVID-19pandemic sent the globe into quarantine or complete isolation.This study examined loneliness, anxiety, and depression datafrom college students (N = 331) to evaluate COVID-19’s effect.Surprisingly, there was no significant change in the loneliness ofstudents sent home by COVID-19. Additionally, we demonstratethe correlation between anxiety, depression, and loneliness. POSTER 4 AUTONOMOUS SENSORY MERIDIAN RESPONSE: ONLINE,OFFLINE, AND DURING COVID MACKENZIE BROOKS, JENNIFER TICKLE (SAINT MARYSCOLLEGE OF MARYLAND) Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) is a pleasant,tingling sensation that generally starts from the top of the headand radiates through the rest of the body inducing a relaxationresponse. This present research used an online survey toexamine information about the experience of ASMR, the use ofonline communities to develop a sense of community for thosewho experience ASMR, and whether the pandemic affectedASMR use. POSTER 5 LITERARY OUTPUT OF PSYCHOLOGY FACULTY:EXAMINING SCHOLASTIC PUBLICATIONS OUTSIDE OFPEER-REVIEWED JOURNALS. JOHN LYONS, KATIE BARBER, ABIGAIL HESTER, AMBERE.Q. NORWOOD, THOMAS C HATVANY, JAMES D. GRIFFITH(SHIPPENSBURG UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA) The current project is a survey of psychology faculty members atAmerican universities, at bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral levelprograms. The survey examined psychology faculty’s output ofbooks, textbooks, and other writings, with respect to the Carnegieclassification of their university, and their discipline within the fieldof psychology. The data demonstrates trends in whichsubdisciplines of psychology and which levels of programsproduce the most publications outside of typical research papersin academic journals. POSTER 6

DIFFERENTIAL EFFECTS OF COVID-19 ISOLATION ONATHLETES VS. NON-ATHLETES THOMAS OLSON, ROBERT MOELLER (MIDDLEBURYCOLLEGE) Given Athletes’ predisposition to better mental health, physicalactivity surfacing as a new risk factor for depression sinceCOVID-19, and the greater threat of loneliness to previouslysocial individuals, COVID-19 may have significantly differentimpacts on athletes versus non-athletes. 337 undergraduates'survey scores on mental health were compared before and afterthe pandemic. Findings show that COVID-19 isolation resulted ina larger increase in depression scores for non-athletes thanathletes. POSTER 7 EXPANDING RECRUITMENT: USING ORGANIC SOCIALMEDIA CONTENT TO RECRUIT PREGNANT COUPLES KATRINA HERRERA, MIGLENA IVANOVA (THEPENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY) Social media recruitment for randomized clinical trials has drawnincreasing attention, though the primary strategy discussed isposting paid ads. This study explored the impact of sharingunpromoted, organic content in order to recruit a specializedtarget population (parents expecting their first child with amoderate-to-heavy drinking non-pregnant partner) to complete ascreener. The results demonstrated that the number of organicposts, controlling for paid ad impressions, was associated withincreased screening rates. POSTER 8 REHABILITATION OR INCARCERATION? PERCEPTION INFOUR STATES WITH DIFFERENT DRUG LAWS CATHERINE OKEEFFE, ADAM FOX (SAINT LAWRENCEUNIVERSITY) A growing rate of offenders incarcerated in the United States aresuffering from drug dependence. Participants from four stateswith differing marijuana/drug laws were presented with vignettesof individuals convicted of differing severity marijuana crimes.Subjects were asked to provide the consequence length/amountof rehabilitation, incarceration, monetary fine, or a combination.Results indicated that legalizing certain drugs at the state levelmay impact public perceptions regarding incarceration versusrehabilitation. POSTER 9 EXAMINING A MODERATED MEDIATION MODEL OF UNFAIRTREATMENT AND MALADAPTIVE WORKPLACEBEHAVIORS SPENCER TESCH, ROBERT KINZLER, CHRISTOPHER J.BUDNICK (SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT STATE UNIVERSITY) We examined the connection between unfair supervisortreatment, perceptions of intent to harm, and perceived

79

organizational justice with counter productive workplacebehaviors. Confirming our hypotheses, unfair supervisortreatment raised perceptions of intent to harm, leading tocounterproductive workplace behaviors, but only if proceduraljustice perceptions were low. Findings support current theoryand suggest several potential intervention points that may helpweaken the supervisor treatment and counterproductiveworkplace behavior relationship. POSTER 10 THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TRAUMA AND PTSD ISMODERATED BY COMORBIDITY SYDNEY WHITE (JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY), STEPHENGLATT (SUNY UPSTATE MEDICAL UNIVERSITY) Veterans who are exposed to trauma during combat are morelikely to develop PTSD later in life. In assessing risk ofdeveloping PTSD, cortisol can be used as a biomarker to detectstress levels. 35 veterans participated in a study that assessedtheir psychological functioning and extracted hair for cortisolanalysis. Findings suggest that cortisol is not a predictor of PTSDseverity after trauma, but that comorbidity is a significantmoderator of this relationship. POSTER 11 IMPULSIVE BEHAVIORS OF YOUNG ADULTS IN RESPONSETO STRESS KIARA COAKLEY, CATHERINE MELLO (THE PENNSYLVANIASTATE UNIVERSITY, BERKS) The purpose of this study was to examine how anxiety isassociated with impulsive behaviors in young adults, includingexcessive eating, high social media use, and unnecessaryshopping. College-aged participants took a survey that includedself-reported anxiety levels, traits associated with impulsiveness,and their engagement in impulsive or problematic habits. Highlevels of anxiety and impulsiveness were both predictive ofproblematic shopping, but not eating or social media use. POSTER 12 PEER AND CAREGIVER RELATIONSHIP INFLUENCES ONINDISCRIMINATE FRIENDLINESS IN TANZANIAN ORPHANS TESS POLLINS, AMANDA TARULLO (BOSTON UNIVERSITY) This study examines the role of orphanage characteristics in childsocioemotional outcomes, comparing two Tanzanian orphanagesthat vary in ratio of number of children to caregiver. Results fromthe children's interviews, in addition to qualitative data, indicatethat more secure relationships are formed at Orphanage B. Thissuggests orphanages designed with a smaller child to caregiverratio may allow for stronger relationships between both peers andtheir caregivers to develop. POSTER 13 ATTITUDINAL INTOLERANCE AND DEMOCRATIC VALUES ZEENAT AHMED (SAINT PETER'S UNIVERSITY), LINDSAY

NOVAK, LINDA SKITKA (UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS ATCHICAGO) The current study attempted to replicate past findings that, in theU.S., people higher in moral conviction on an issue are moresocially, but not politically, intolerant of morally dissimilar others.It also extended these findings by investigating whethercommitment to democratic values moderates the relationshipbetween moral conviction and political intolerance. Results foundthat commitment to democratic values moderated the relationshipbetween moral conviction and political intolerance, but oppositefrom what was hypothesized. POSTER 14 EVALUATING DISPARITIES IN DOAC THERAPY INPATIENTS WITH PULMONARY EMBOLISM OVER TIME JENEE JOHNSON (ST. JOHN'S UNIVERSITY), HANNAHOJENDYK, EMILIA MIKRUT, ALEXANDRA SPINELLI (ST.JOHNS UNIVERSITY), TERESA JU, PHYLLIS AUGUST (NEWYORK PRESBYTERIAN QUEENS), ELIZABETH BRONDOLO(ST. JOHNS UNIVERSITY) Over the last decade, recommended treatment for pulmonaryembolism (PE) has shifted away from Warfarin, an affordable butdifficult-to-manage medication, to Direct Oral AnticoagulantsAgents (DOACs), medications that are easier to manage butcostlier. Prior literature has revealed racial and economicdisparities in DOAC usage among patients with thromboembolicconditions. Among 342 patients with PE in a community hospitalin NY analyses revealed an increase in DOAC therapy over timebut no disparities in treatment. POSTER 15 EXAMINING INTERACTIONS BETWEEN TARGET WEIGHTAND RACE ON PAIN PERCEPTION CATHERINE AWAD, THERESA MILLER, ANDREAREYNOLDS, AZAR TUEXUNTUOHETI, PETERMENDE-SIEDLECKI (UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE) Across two experiments, we examined how target weight andtarget race influence pain perception and treatment in female(Experiment 1) and male targets (Experiment 2). The effect ofweight on racial bias varied as a function of gender. Withinfemale targets, participants saw pain less readily on Black faces(and recommended lower treatment) regardless of weight.However, within male targets, racial bias in pain perception wasnot observed (and treatment bias reversed) for heavier targets. POSTER 16 SWIMWEAR & SOCIAL MEDIA BRITTANY GRUND, LINDSEY LAPLANT (NAZARETHCOLLEGE) This study examined if viewing “ideal” or “inclusive” body types ofInstagram bikini models affected women’s self-objectification andtheir ability to broadly conceptualize beauty. Participants wereassigned an “ideal” or “inclusive” condition, viewed pictures ofbikini models, and completed the BCBS and OBCS scales.

80

Those in the “ideal” body condition did not have higher scores onthe OBCS nor lower scores on the BCBS than the “inclusive”condition. POSTER 17 UNDERSTANDING MARIST COLLEGE’S STUDENTS’EXPERIENCES IN HOUSING: GENDER & SEXUALITY KAYLA MAGUIRE, EMMA FREDRICK (MARIST COLLEGE) LGBTQ+ students at colleges without inclusive policies are at riskfor the physical & mental health detriments associated withminority stress. Ninety two Marist College students responded toa survey regarding campus climate, on-campus housingexperiences, and inclusive policy preferences to assess if MaristCollege provides equitable housing for LGBTQ+ students. Thefindings suggest LGBTQ+ Marist College students facedisparities in housing and there is support by all students formore inclusive policies. POSTER 18 SEXUAL HEALTH KNOWLEDGE AS A MODERATOR OFRISK BEHAVIOR AMONG COLLEGE STUDENTS JANE HANKINS, EMILY BUTLER (MERCY COLLEGE), KIMANILAFOND (SUNY ALBANY), NICHOLAS JAIJAIRAM (MERCYCOLLEGE) The current study tested sexual health knowledge as amoderator of the relationship between alcohol use and riskysexual behaviors among emerging adults. Findings indicated thatthe relationship between alcohol use and sexual risk behaviorwas strengthened when the moderator variable was added,contrary to expectations. Overall, participants excelled on sexualhealth knowledge assessments. However, findings suggest thathaving high sexual health knowledge may not necessarilytranslate into protective behavioral strategies when consumingalcohol. POSTER 19 THE EFFECT OF COLOR OF NATURE IMAGES ONCREATIVITY OLIVIA EGBERT (HARTWICK COLLEGE), BENJAMIN CHASE,DELL POTTS, JOHN PINO, BRADEN ROSE, ALEXAMATARAZZO, LISA ONORATO (HARTWICK COLLEGE) Exposure to nature may enhance creativity, according toKaplan’s Attention Restoration Theory. Green has also beenassociated with enhanced creativity. Our study combines theseareas of research. Fifty-four college students viewed four naturescenes that were either green, red, or black and white in colorwhile taking the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking. Results didnot reveal a significant effect of color on creativity. We discusslimitations, applications, and future research. POSTER 20 FOOD INSECURITIES IN COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTSBEFORE AND DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

DANIEL BRUSCHE, TANZINA AHMED (CUNY BROOKLYNCOLLEGE) Community college students – who often struggle with foodinsecurity – may have become more food insecure during theCOVID-19 pandemic in ways that might weaken their physicaland emotional health. This study analyzes the food securityexperiences of 1,278 students during the semester before andthe first year of the pandemic. While food insecurity did notincrease after the start of the pandemic, students reported feelingless embarrassed and used various food support programs. POSTER 21 STRESS LEVELS OF COLLEGE ATHLETES CAITLIN MONAHAN, AMY LEARMONTH (WILLIAMPATERSON UNIVERSITY) The stress associated with athletic performance has implicationsfor college athletes; this study examines the evolution of stressover time-periods before a game. Division III college athleteswere surveyed on their stress levels at different points leading upto competitions: night before, morning before and directly beforecompetition. A 2(gender)x3(timeframe) ANOVA indicate asignificant main effect of time before the game (F(2,144)=3.88,p<.05) and a significant effect of gender (F(1, 144)=22.92, p<.05)with no interaction. POSTER 22 SELF-PERCEPTION AS A MEDIATOR BETWEENDIFFERENTIAL PARENTAL TREATMENT AND CHILDPROBLEM BEHAVIOR PAULINA HERNANDEZ GALINDO, THEAH VASQUEZ-O’BRIEN(EASTERN CONNECTICUT STATE UNIVERSITY), ELIZABETHRELLINGER ZETTLER (ILLINOIS COLLEGE) Differential parental treatment has been related to childself-perception. We hypothesized that differential treatmentwould predict child self-perception which would, in turn, predictchild problem behaviors. Families (N=145) with two childrencompleted laboratory assessments and questionnaires at twotime points. Differential parental treatment did not predict childself-perception or problem behaviors, but greater self-perceptiondid predict fewer problem behaviors 2.5 years later. Findingshighlight the importance of using observational and child-reportmeasurement when studying children. POSTER 23 EXAMINING COVID CONCERNS AND MENTAL HEALTH INCOLLEGE STUDENTS SOPHIE HUNTER, SARAH BLAKELY-MCCLURE (CANISIUSCOLLEGE) This study examines college student COVID-19concerns/experiences and their associations with depression,generalized and social anxiety symptoms. Results demonstrated that perceived COVID threat, self or familysymptoms/diagnosis, and financial concerns were associatedwith higher levels of internalizing symptoms. Conversely, news

81

consumption was associated with lower levels of depressionsymptoms. These findings are discussed in context of how tosupport college students given these unique concerns aroundCOVID-19. POSTER 24 THE ROLE OF GENDER EQUALITY ON SEXUAL ASSAULT ISABELLA ROBLES, SOFIA FLATEN, JORDAN RICE, GRACEMILLER, CLAIRE GRAVELIN (STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEWYORK AT GENESEO) Rape culture is studied as a sub-group phenomenon according toits component parts, comprised of male-dominated andmale-governed environments. Study 1 examines rape culture atthe state level using secondary data. Importantly, components ofrape culture are also breeding grounds for toxic masculinity.Study 2 empirically assess the impact of threats to themale-governed component of rape culture on acceptance ofsexual violence and women’s perceptions of safety in reportingsexual violence. POSTER 25 BIAS IN PAIN PERCEPTION AT THE INTERSECTION OFRACE, GENDER AND AGE ALIYA WILLIAMS, MORGAN GALLAGHER, THERESA MILLER,ANDREA REYNOLDS, CATHERINE AWAD, PATRICKGILBERT MERCADO REYES, PETER MENDE-SIEDLECKI(UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE) Across four experiments, we examined the interactive effects oftarget race, gender, and age on pain perception. Overall, painperception thresholds tracked with target age—participants sawpain most readily on older adult faces and least readily on childfaces. Critically, while racial bias in pain perception largelygeneralized across race within male faces, the effect of targetrace depended on target age within female faces. POSTER 26 MENTAL STATES AND PERFORMANCE IN FEMALEATHLETES VICTORIA PERLROTH (WILLIAM PATERSON UNIVERSITY OFNEW JERSEY), AMY LEARMONTH (WILLIAM PATERSONUNIVERSITY OF NEW JERSEY) The mental states of female collegiate athletes were studied toinvestigate how mental states impact athletic performance. Thehypothesis was athletes with positive and stable mental stateswill play better. Athletes completed the mental skillsquestionnaire and read descriptions of three states, indicatingthree levels of performance, reporting their frequency andassociated frustration. The results showed no differences in thefrequency of the three states, but significant differences in levelsof frustration (F(2, 63)=14.58, p<.05). POSTER 27 HOW DOES FEMINISM AFFECT THE SELF-ESTEEM OFSPIRITUAL VERSUS RELIGIOUS WOMEN?

MADELINE KOSKI, KIMBERLY FAIRCHILD (MANHATTANCOLLEGE) In a 2 (feminist condition: feminist vs anti-feminist) x 2 (religiosity:religious vs spiritual) factorial study, we explored how bothinstitutionalized religion and spirituality affect self-esteem and areinfluenced by feminism. Unfortunately, the results of this studywere not significant. However, understanding the role ofreligion/spirituality in women’s lives and how it interacts withmodern views of womanhood (feminism) is vitally important.Correcting the limitations of this study could help illuminate thistopic. POSTER 28 CHILDREN’S EXPLANATIONS OF EVENTS:INCONSISTENCIES IN ADHESION CONFIGURATIONS KARIMA ELGAMAL, LAURA LAKUSTA, EMILY FERRER,STEPHANIE SPIVAK (MONTCLAIR STATE UNIVERSITY) What do children understand about adhesion (e.g., toy stuck tobox)? And how do children explain inconsistent adhesion events?Twenty preschool children were shown videos of object Aadhering to object B or not, followed by an event depicting objectA acting consistent or inconsistent with the initial event. Thenquestioned about why these inconsistencies occurred. Children’sexplanations referred to internal causal properties of objects,suggesting that children think abstractly regarding hiddenmechanisms. POSTER 29 MEMORY RECONSOLIDATION AND ITS EFFECTS ONSHORT TERM RECALL BRIANNA PHIPPS, LAUREN NEE, LAUREN SCHNITZER,JENNIFER FRIEDMAN (SUSQUEHANNA UNIVERSITY) Reconsolidation involves updating one’s memory after retrieval,and some recent studies have shown that memoryreconsolidation may be useful in treating Post Traumatic StressDisorder. Our study sought to extend this research by examiningless severe emotional memories on a shorter time scale.Contrary to recent results, we found no evidence thatreconsolidation altered participants’ factual or emotional memory.Future research should further establish the conditions underwhich reconsolidation affects memory for negative emotionalevents. POSTER 30 TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION AS ANINTERVENTION FOR CANNABIS USE DISORDER INUNDERGRADUATES JULIANNE KELLY, SKYLER SKLENARIK, FUMIKO HOEFT(UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT), VAUGHN STEELE (YALESCHOOL OF MEDICINE), ROBERT ASTUR (UNIVERSITY OFCONNECTICUT) TMS is a noninvasive method of neural modulation that whenused to stimulate the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) has

82

been shown to reduce substance cravings. The purpose of thecurrent study is to investigate the effects of TMS to DLPFC oncannabis cravings and use in college undergraduates who are atrisk for cannabis use disorder. Data collection is ongoing butpreliminary results are promising with significant reductions inmarijuana cravings after active TMS. POSTER 31 THE ROLE OF CONFIDENCE AND INHIBITION INLONG-TERM COLOR MEMORY SPECIFICITY GISELLE CASTRO, ISABELLA QUATTRUCCI, BRITTANYJEYE (WORCESTER STATE UNIVERSITY) The current study evaluates the specificity of long-term colormemories. Participants were asked to remember a series ofcolored shapes. Participants were then shown old coloredshapes, similar colored shapes, and new colored shapes andparticipants indicated whether these items were exactly the sameas the original shapes and their confidence. Preliminary analysesdemonstrated that memory for color is not specific and that colormemory specificity may depend on inhibition between distantlyrelated color shapes. POSTER 32 WHY TALK ABOUT YOUR WORRIES? PROBLEM ANXIETYTALK WITH FRIENDS AND PARENTS COLLEEN COOGAN, LILA BRUYNESTEYN, ALYSSA MANIAR,FATIMA KARIM, COURTNEY BRIGGS, KIMBERLITREADWELL (UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT) This study investigated a peer interaction variable, problemanxiety talk, as a possible mechanism of anxiety contagion inadolescence. Anxiety talk with a best friend and a parent,relationship quality and anxiety were examined in 175 lateadolescents. Results indicated that anxiety talk significantlypredicted anxiety symptoms in both friend and parentrelationships. This theoretically-derived interaction variablesuggests both peer and parental dyadic interactionsas possible risk factors in anxiety. POSTER 33 THE EFFECTS OF PHOTO MANIPULATION ANDINSTAGRAM USAGE ON WOMEN’S REPORTEDSELFESTEEM RACHEL THIBODEAU, JASON SEACAT (WESTERN NEWENGLAND UNIVERSITY) The current study examined relationships between collegefemales’ Instagram intensity, photo manipulation, self-esteem,and life satisfaction. A total of 109 participants completed foursurveys (Satisfaction with Life Scale, Rosenberg Self-EsteemScale, Multidimensional Facebook Intensity Scale, PhotoManipulation Scale) using Survey Monkey. Photo manipulationand Instagram intensity were significantly correlated (r=.25,p=.009). As hypothesized, the negative relationship betweenInstagram intensity and self-esteem approached significance(r=-.183, p=.057). Findings and implications will be discussed.

POSTER 34 STIGMA AND SOCIAL IDENTITY IN ADOLESCENTS WITHALCOHOL OR DRUG USE DISORDERS SOPHIA BLYTH (HARVARD UNIVERSITY), JORDANJURINSKY (VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY), KIEFER COWIE(WRIGHT INSTITUTE), EMILY HENNESSY (HARVARDMEDICAL SCHOOL) Little is known about the effect of stigma on the socialdevelopment of adolescents in recovery from an alcohol or druguse (AOD) disorder. This paper, which uses qualitative data froma pilot study of 11 adolescents, uses a stigma framework toexplore adolescents’ conceptualization of their AOD disorder, theAOD of others, and the stigmatization they perceive. Adolescentsreported receiving both stigma and support in their socialnetworks, findings that could influence recovery interventions. POSTER 35 IS IT ABOUT HONOR OR MANHOOD? MADELEINE KEMO, KENNETH MICHNIEWICZ(MUHLENBERG COLLEGE) The purpose of this study was to examine the intersectionbetween masculinity and honor norms. Prior to the studyparticipants completed the Precarious Manhood Belief Scale andthe Honor Endorsement Index to be used later as predictors.Participants then responded to a scenario in which a man waseither presented with an honor threat or a manhood threat andresponded with an honor threat or a manhood threat. POSTER 36 THE ROLE OF INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES IN FACERECOGNITION AND MENTAL IMAGERY ALIANA RODRIGUEZ ACEVEDO, BRITTANY JEYE(WORCESTER STATE UNIVERSITY) The current study evaluates the role of individual differences inlong-term face memory specificity. Participants first completed anold-new recognition task using face stimuli varying in similarity toassess inhibition in facial memory specificity. Participants alsocompleted the Cambridge Face Memory Test (CFMT) andVividness of Visual Imagery Questionnaire (VVIQ). Preliminaryanalyses demonstrated that inhibition in facial memory specificitydoes not depend on individual differences in performance on theCFMT and VVIQ. POSTER 37 SOCIAL MEDIA USE PRE VERSUS DURING THE COVID-19PANDEMIC CRYSTAL DOLORES-MARTINEZ, ESPERANZA CASTELAN,EMMETT WARMBRAND, SOLMAIRA MORALES, JULIAZAVALA (MERCY COLLEGE) This study examined differences in social media use for 527college students. They reported the number of minutes per daythey spent on social media, the number of times they checked it

83

for news per week, whether or not they trusted it, and if theychecked other sources to verify credibility of the news. Only theuse of Snapchat in minutes and checking for news per weekwere significantly different pre versus during the pandemic. POSTER 38 CBD AND THE EFFECTS ON EARLY LIFE STRESSOUTCOMES MARY MATOS (ARCADIA UNIVERSITY), MICHAEL MCCOY(ARCADIA UNIVERISTY), LOGAN FIELDS, JUAN DUQUE(ARCADIA UNIVERSITY) Maternal separation induces a variety of behavioral deficitsincluding anxiety and depression. Previous maternal separationexperiments often use handling as a control group but it isunclear how this impacts behavioral outcomes. Additionally,treating issues related to separation have only showed marginalefficacy. We investigated the behavioral effects of handling andwhether CBD treatment could resolve these issues. Preliminaryfindings suggest that CBD reduces deficits and could potentiallybe an alternative treatment for issues. POSTER 39 IS THE SCIENCE OF TEACHING AND LEARNING TOOWEIRD? MADISON KAIFAS-STEINER, RILEY CAPPELLETTI, BRIDGETLYNCH (LE MOYNE COLLEGE) Researchers have suggested that active learning is an effectivetool in higher education. Additionally, researchers (Henrich et al.,2010) posit behavioral science samples are highly homogenous;thus, a systematic review is necessary to evaluate samplecharacteristics in teaching journals. Focusing on active learningstrategies, preliminary article coding (N=519) indicated mostsamples are not North American nor in higher education. Thismay increase generalization but could mean curricular decisionsare based on unrepresentative samples. POSTER 40 CHILDHOOD TRAUMA LEADS TO ADULT CRIMINALITY ANDHOW CRIMINALITY IS VIEWED MERCEDES JEWELL, KAREN JENNINGS (KEENE STATECOLLEGE) Children with traumatic childhoods often grow up to live a life ofcriminality. This study examines people's attitudes towards crimebased on their ACE score. 52 participants took three surveys tosee if their attitudes towards crime changed after gainingknowledge of Adverse Childhood Events. The results showedthat there was no significant difference between the participantspretest and posttest. The findings suggest that people's attitudesdo not change based off ACE education. POSTER 41 SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION AND APTITUDE FORAUTISTIC LEARNERS

JAKOB WELCH, FRANCES WENRICH, CATHERINECALDWELL-HARRIS (BOSTON UNIVERSITY) Little is known about how persons with autism spectrumconditions (ASC) acquire foreign languages. Our surveyinvestigated linguistic knowledge and language acquisitionexperience of autistic and neurotypical individuals. The resultsindicated a difference in language learning methods, andcorrelation between high Autism Quotient scores and languageaptitude scores. Lastly, autistic individuals spoke more languagesthan neurotypicals. This study highlighted the language learningpotential for autistic learners. POSTER 42 CREATIVE, EXPERIENCED, AND FAST: HOW COGNITIVEFACTORS INFLUENCE SMASH BROS. GAME PLAY SEBASTIAN RIVERA, AMY LEARMONTH (WILLIAMPATERSON UNIVERSITY OF NEW JERSEY) Playing fighting games in a competitive setting, specifically onelike Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, could be influenced by reactiontime, creativity, emotion regulation, and experience. With theseconcepts in mind, the goal of this research was to measurereaction time, creativity, emotion regulation, and experience asinfluences in successful game play. Initial analyses looking athours played and reaction time show an inverse correlation(r=-.378) indicating that more experienced players have fasterreaction times. POSTER 43 UNEXAMINED BIASES AND DECISION MAKING INVOLVEDWITH RACE AND MASK WEARING JEFFREY JOSEPH, NASEEM A. CHOUDHURY, LEAHWARNER (RAMAPO COLLEGE OF NEW JERSEY) This study examined biases towards people of different racesand mask wearing. Fifty-nine adults completed the ImplicitAssociation Test (IAT) followed by questions that assessedcomfort level in either being in the presence of people of differentraces (Asian, Black, White) with or without facial masks, andcomfort-levels in asking people to wear a mask. While there wasa main effect for mask-wearing, findings suggest significant raceand gender interactions. POSTER 44 “I’M NOT JUST WEIRD”: IMPRESSIONS OF LATE AUTISMDIAGNOSES IN WOMEN SOPHIE GRITSCH, AMY LEARMONTH (WILLIAM PATERSONUNIVERSITY) Current estimates of the male/female prevalence of AutismSpectrum Disorder are four to one; however, this ratio may fail toaccount for females who go undiagnosed. This study collectedqualitative data from 56 adult women diagnosed with ASD.Overall, survey respondents reported positive feelings towarddiagnosis, and effects including changes in masking behavior,novel understanding of themselves and the people and situationsaround them, and new abilities to navigate their everyday lives.

POSTER 45 COMPARING IMPRESSIONS OF SIGHTED VERSUS BLINDAPPLICANTS’ RESUMES MANA HASHIMOTO, CLAUDIA BRUMBAUGH (QUEENSCOLLEGE CUNY), KYLE MATTHEW ANDERSON (CUNYGRADUATE CENTER) This experiment examined how formatted or unformattedresumes of sighted and non-sighted applicants affect hiringdecisions. Results suggested applicants were penalized forhaving unformatted resumes. Higher levels of social dominanceorientation (SDO) led to lower perceptions of applicantcompetence, which partially mediated SDO’s effect on reducedhiring intentions. The present research suggests resume formatand SDO of hiring managers can hinder blind applicants’hireability, contributing to hiring disparities between nonsightedand sighted individuals. POSTER 46 THE EFFECTS OF DAYCARE ON ATTACHMENT STYLE ANA COREAS, KIM O'DONNELL (EASTERN CONNECTICUTSTATE UNIVERSITY) Children are occasionally sent to daycare and are exposed to avariety of relationship types and unique experiences. Theseexperiences and relationships could negatively or positively affecttheir person and follow them into adulthood. Fifty adultsparticipated in a survey, answering thirty-five questions regardingtheir experience and relationships while in daycare. The datasuggest that there is not a significant relationship betweenchildhood daycare experience and adulthood attachment style. POSTER 47 PARENTAL EDUCATION EXPECTATIONS: ACADEMICACHIEVEMENT AND SELF- ESTEEM ASHLEY MOONEY, MICHAEL ROY (ELIZABETHTOWNCOLLEGE) Parental education expectations can impact the child’s academicachievement and self- esteem. These expectations can alsocause long lasting impacts for the individuals. Literature foundthat high parental expectations would be correlated with highacademic achievement and low self-esteem. 134 collegestudents completed an online survey that asked about self-esteem, parental expectations, and academic achievement. Wefound a negative correlation between parental expectations andthe individual’s self- esteem. No other significant results werefound. POSTER 48 REPRODUCTIVE SUCCESS, INDEPENDENT OFCORTICOSTERONE, MAINTAINS FIDELITY IN FEMALECALIFORNIA MICE LAUREL SODERQUIST (LAWRENCE UNIVERSITY), AMBERVALENTINO (SAINT JOSEPH'S UNIVERSITY), ELIZABETH

BECKER (LAWRENCE UNIVERSITY) Despite increasing interest in how hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenalaxis activity affects behavior in California mice (Peromyscuscalifornicus), relatively little is known about the role ofcorticosterone in maintaining fidelity. The current study exploredwhether prior reproductive success and/or related changes incorticosterone influences fidelity in female California mice. Wefound that prior reproductive success significantly mediatesfidelity independent of corticosterone level. POSTER 49 ASSESSING THE PERSONALITIES OF INSTAGRAMACCOUNT HOLDERS: A META-PERCEPTUAL APPROACH ANNA MOSTOLLER, MICHAEL ROY (ELIZABETHTOWNCOLLEGE) The current study utilized Instagram profiles and personalityinventories to investigate personality prediction via Instagram.Unlike previous research, conscious perception of accuracy ofself-portrayal was examined. Participants consisted of 70 collegestudents who either submitted an image of their Instagram orrated such submissions. Findings suggest accuracy in predictionof extraversion, a negative correlation for prediction ofagreeableness and a significant correlation between bothaccount accuracy and meta-accuracy scores reported by accountholders. POSTER 50 KINESTHETIC LEARNING AND THE IMPACT ON COLLEGESTUDENTS’ ABILITY TO MEMORIZE JENNIFER ROUSH, LINDSEY LAPLANT (NAZARETHCOLLEGE) Kinesthetic learning impacts the way people retain information.To test this with college students, participants were assigned tolearn words in one of two ways, kinesthetic or traditional. Ihypothesized that the kinesthetic group would memorizesignificantly more words and enjoy the memorization processsignificantly more than the traditional group. Results indicatedthat kinesthetic memorization techniques have a significantimpact on participant retention, but no significant impact onenjoyment when compared to traditional memorizationtechniques. POSTER 51 AUTONOMOUS SENSORY MERIDIAN RESPONSE (ASMR) INWILLIAM PATERSON UNIVERSITY STUDENTS LAUREN GONZALEZ, AMY LEARMONTH (WILLIAMPATERSON UNIVERSITY OF NEW JERSEY) Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) is a tinglingsensation of the scalp that disperses throughout the body inreaction to audio-visual stimuli. This study investigates ASMR incollege students. ASMR was measured using the ASMR-15scale after two ASMR videos and one control video. Resultsshowed 57% experienced ASMR during tapping, 63%eating/whispering, unexpectedly, 84% reported ASMR to the

85

control video. Further analyses to understand why the controlvideo elicited an ASMR response is ongoing. POSTER 52 EXPLORING RELATIONS BETWEEN COVID-19 IMPACT ANDMEMORY TASK ADMINISTRATION ON CHILDREN’SMEMORY EMILY HERBERHOLZ, ANGELA JI, TRACY RIGGINS(UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, COLLEGE PARK) This project aimed to shed light on the interrelations betweenage, memory performance across modes of administration (inperson or Zoom), and parent-reported Covid-19 impacts. Childparticipants performed a memory task at two different timepoints:pre-pandemic and during the pandemic and across twomodalities. Results suggested that older children were moreadversely affected by pandemic-related disruptions than youngerchildren. However, there were no significant impacts of thepandemic or task administration on memory. POSTER 53 ACCULTURATIVE STRESS AND ETHNIC SELF-IDENTITYCONFLICTS OF IMMIGRANT COLLEGE STUDENTS MARIAM ALRAIS, PAUL FINN (SAINT ANSELM COLLEGE) This study aimed to understand the relationship betweenacculturative stress and ethnic self identity of immigrant collegestudents. Participants consisted of 47 immigrant undergraduatestudents and a correlational analysis was conducted to find thetwo measures statistically significant and respondents evidencedlower levels of both acculturative stress and ethno-culturalidentity conflicts. POSTER 54 COLLEGE ADJUSTMENT DURING A GLOBAL PANDEMIC CARLY PATTERSON, MICHAEL ROY (ELIZABETHTOWNCOLLEGE) Students adjusting to college during a global pandemic may bemore likely to have a difficult transition. Participants included 101college students who answered a questionnaire about theirstudent experiences during the pandemic. Key findings suggestcurrent sophomores are struggling the most due to the addedstress of COVID-19 during their freshman year. These findingshighlight the importance of how public health crises can affectstudents who are adjusting to college. POSTER 55 SUBSTANCE USE AMONG COLLEGE STUDENTS DURINGCOVID-19 SAMIARRAH SWARTHOUT, MICHELLE JAQUES-LEONARD(ALFRED UNIVERSITY) The purpose of the study is to evaluate the impact of theCOVID-19 pandemic on college students’ stress levels andsubstance use behavior in the United States. College students

(N=1,000) ages 18-23 completed several online questionnairesas a part of a larger study. Analyses will explore whether higherlevels of COVID related stress is associated with highersubstance use. Results may provide important informationregarding the impact of COVID related stress on collegestudents’ coping. POSTER 56 THE IMPACT OF TELEVISION REPRESENTATION ONLGBTQ+ INDIVIDUALS AND THEIR IDENTITIES VICTORIA VAUGHN, T. EVAN SMITH, MICHAEL ROY(ELIZABETHTOWN COLLEGE) The present study sought to examine if there has been anincrease in LGBTQ+ identities in television and if there wasimpactful representation. The study was a qualitative study withopen-ended questions regarding television representation.Participants felt accepted with an increase of televisionrepresentation, but they felt there was more negativerepresentation than positive representation. There is an increasein representation of LGBTQ+ individuals, but there is room forimprovement in accuracy of these identities. POSTER 57 THE ASSOCIATION OF HEALTH ANXIETY WITH COVID-19VACCINATION STATUS AND VACCINE HESITANCY SAMANTHA BALLAS, KIMBERLI TREADWELL (UNIVERSITYOF CONNECTICUT) This study examined the impact of health anxiety on COVID-19vaccine hesitancy, intent to vaccinate, and frequency ofprevention behaviors. 735 participants were recruited via socialmedia and completed an online survey. Health anxiety andvaccine status were found to be associated with severalCOVID-19 related attitudes and behaviors, includingmask-wearing and social distancing. Results can inform publichealth campaigns for initial vaccinations, boosters, and futurepandemics. POSTER 58 THE ASSOCIATION OF GENERALIZED ANXIETY SYMPTOMSWITH COVID-19 VACCINATION STATUS PATRICK BENTSEN, SAMANTHA BALLAS, KIMBERLITREADWELL (UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT) Given the growing evidence noting increased anxiety in responseto the COVID-19 pandemic, the current study examinedgeneralized anxiety symptoms (GAD) and COVID-19 vaccinehesitancy, attitudes and prevention behaviors. Results foundhigher GAD was reported by vaccinated adults and wasassociated with greater prevention behaviors of mask wearingand social distancing. Vaccination status was not associated withgender, age, ethnicity or political conservatism. Results arediscussed in terms of informing public health campaigns. POSTER 59 TAKE DEEP BREATHS: EFFECTS OF DEEP BREATHING ON

86

STATE ANXIETY AND COGNITION HANNAH BARDEEN, LINDSEY LAPLANT (NAZARETHCOLLEGE) Deep breathing is known to calm the nervous system, reducingstress. Previous research indicated state anxiety and cognitioncan be positively affected by deep breathing. This studyinvestigated how participants’ cognition and state anxiety wereaffected by their deep breathing experiences. Participantscompleted a task and self-report questionnaire to test how theirbreathing experience affected both measures. Results indicatedno significant difference in either anxiety or cognition after deepbreathing exercises.

LEARNING PAPERS: MODULATION OF LEARNINGSaturday, March 5, 2022

11:00am-12:20pm

CHAIR: MICHAEL STEINFELD

11:00am - 11:15am COMPARING NOVELTY-FACILITATED EXTINCTION WITHCOUNTERCONDITIONING AND EXTINCTION IN COGNITIVEAND EMOTIONAL DOMAINS RALPH MILLER (SUNY - BINGHAMTON), CAMERONMCCREA, YAROSLAV MOSHCHENKO (SUNY-BINGHAMTON),KRISTINA STENSTROM (SUN-BINGHAMTON), JAMESWITNAUER (SUNY-BROCKPORT), JEREMIE JOZEFOWIEZ(UNIVERSITÉ DE LILLE) Three experiments looked at the potential of extinction,counterconditioning, and novelty-facilitated extinction (NFE:pairing the CS with a neutral outcome) to alter the expression ofa CS-US association and their susceptibility to renewal. In thecognitive domain, counterconditioning and NFE were equivalentand potentially better than extinction. In the emotional domain,only CC was able to reliably alter the valence of the CS. In bothdomains, all three treatments were equally sensitive to renewaleffects. 11:20am - 11:35am INCREASING EXTINCTION OF A CUE REDUCESCONTEXT-SPECIFICITY OF NON-EXTINGUISHED CUES JUAN M. ROSAS, PEDRO M. OGALLAR, JOSE ECALLEJAS-AGUILERA (UNIVERSITY OF JAEN) Three experiments in human predictive learning evaluatedwhether the Extinction Makes Acquisition Context Specific(EMACS) effect is attenuated when the increase on predictionerror that extinction produces disappears. Twelve extinction trialswith cue E led performance to cue P to become contextdependent regardless of whether extinction of E was previous or

concurrent to training of P. When extinction was trained beyondthe asymptote so that prediction error became approached zero,EMACS effect disappeared. 11:40am - 11:55am INHIBITION IN INSTRUMENTAL LEARNING INFEATURE-NEGATIVE PARADIGMS AND EXTINCTION MICHAEL STEINFELD, MARK BOUTON (UNIVERSITY OFVERMONT) Several experiments asked how well a cue trained to inhibit oneinstrumental response transfers and inhibits another response.Extinction data suggest high response-specificity, but previousinhibition experiments suggest transfer. Here, we trained tworesponses in parallel feature-negative discriminations (AR1+,ABR1-, CR2+, CDR2-). Cross-response transfer of inhibitionoccurred and was related to the rat learning that the transfertarget was “inhibitable.” However, inhibitability of the transfertarget did not influence the response-specificity of extinctionlearning. 12:00pm - 12:15pm BIAS FOR INFORMATION: THE LEARNING MECHANISMSAND NEUROCORTICAL CONTRIBUTIONS VALERIA GONZALEZ, ALICIA IZQUIERDO, AARONBLAISDELL (UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES) When given a choice between a lean alternative that conveysinformation about the outcome of a trial versus a richeralternative without information, most animals prefer the former:they prefer information even though that alternative yields lessreward. We report investigations of the role of information value:we assessed the role of Pavlovian inhibitory properties and therole of frontocortical and limbic areas in the bias for informationeffect.

HYPNOSIS FOR THE SERIOUSLY CURIOUS: ANEVIDENCE-BASED INTRODUCTION STEVEN LYNN (SUNY - BINGHAMTON) Since I first became seriously curious about hypnosis in the late1970s, hypnosis has steadily moved into the orbit of mainstreampsychological science. In this evidence-based introduction tohypnosis, geared to the seriously curious, I will share what I havelearned from my ongoing fascination with hypnosis based onfindings from our Laboratory of Consciousness, Cognition and

87

Psychopathology, other laboratories around the world, and myclinical experiences; address popular myths and misconceptionsabout hypnosis; and articulate a science-informed understandingof hypnosis based on a sociocognitive model of hypnoticresponsiveness and hypnotic phenomena. Finally, I will describehow this perspective can be applied to leveraging hypnosis toadvantage as a catalyst for promoting personal change andgrowth in psychotherapy

REMEMBRANCE OF THINGS PAST: CULTURAL

CORRELATES AND PSYCHOLOGICAL CONSEQUENCES QI WANG (CORNELL UNIVERSITY) In his masterpiece, Remembrance of Things Past, the Frenchnovelist Marcel Proust wrote that “remembrance of things past isnot necessarily the remembrance of things as they were.”Personal remembering involves a constructive process that isinfluenced by how we view the world and how we view ourselves. In this talk, I will discuss how this constructive process isdeeply conditioned by culture. I will present research findings todemonstrate the various pathways via which culture shapes ourpersonal memories and moderates the psychosocialconsequences of remembering. Accordingly, the content, form,and stance of memory serve functions specific to the culturalecology.

CHAIR: ANDREW ABEYTA, PHD (RUTGERS

UNIVERSITY-CAMDEN)

11:00am - 11:15am CONTRASTING ACTUAL AND FEARED SELVES INAIDS-BEREAVED YOUTH: A MULTIDIMENSIONALANALYSIS APPROACH WARREN REICH (FELICIAN UNIVERSITY) Forty AIDS-bereaved youth (ABY) and a matched university

88

student sample described 12 identities in their actual self, andagain in their feared self (as potentially HIV-positive).Inter-identity dissimilarity measures based on each identity'snegative content were submitted to three-way multidimensionalscaling analysis. Results showed that when considering whatthey would be like if they were to become HIV-positive, ABYtended to see “contamination” primarily in personal (vs. social)identities such as gender and private self-views. 11:20am - 11:35am EMOTIONAL DISCLOSURE AND COVID BELIEFS VALERIA VILA (RUTGERS UNIVERSITY - NEWARK), KENTHARBER (RUTGERS UNIVERSITY) Does emotional disclosure reduce bogus beliefs about COVID-19and increase acceptance of facts—and especially forconservatives? Participants (n = 118) completed an expressivewriting task where they disclosed or suppressed about a personaldifficulty and then completed a COVID beliefs survey. Disclosureincreased belief in facts among conservatives. 11:40am - 11:55am EXISTENTIAL AGENCY AND IMPLICATIONS FORPSYCHOLOGICAL HERALTH AND HUMAN PROGRESS ANDREW ABEYTA (RUTGERS UNIVERSITY-CAMDEN), CLAYROUTLEDGE (NORTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY) This research focused on existential agency (XA), the ability todiscover and maintain meaning in life. In 5 studies, we developeda self-report XA measure that has favorable psychometricproperties, is associated with theoretically relevant measures,and is uniquely predictive of well-being and goal pursuits. Finally,we found that those high in XA adjusted better topandemic-related work changes. XA appears to be an importantfactor for adaptive functioning and has implications for humanprogress.

STEREOTYPE THREAT AND IDENTITY THREAT: THESCIENCE OF A DIVERSE COMMUNITY CLAUDE STEELE (STANFORD UNIVERSITY) Drawing on stereotype threat and social identity threat research,this talk will address the why, what and how of diverse learningcommunities: why they are important, a working hypothesis aboutwhat is critical to their success and what research reveals abouthow to achieve that success. The talk’s practical aim is to identify

features of diverse learning communities—schools, universitiesand academic disciplines—that while good for all students, areespecially helpful for minority students generally, and for womenin STEM fields. The talk will also explore the psychologicalsignificance of community and its role in learning.

PSI CHI POSTERSSaturday, March 5, 2022

2:00pm-3:20pm

POSTER 1 JUROR PERSONALITY AND PERCEPTION OF CHILDEYEWITNESSES SIERRA GUEQUIERRE, PETER MORARIU, KATHRYNCHRISTIANSON, MARTHA ARTERBERRY (COLBY COLLEGE) To investigate whether the personality of a potential juror playeda role in their perceptions of the reliability of child eyewitnesses,598 (306 male; 292 female) adult U.S citizens completed theBFI-II in addition to rating child eyewitnesses of different ages.More extroverted participants judged the child eyewitnesses tobe less honest, and more open-minded and less conscientiousparticipants judged them to have a more reliable memory. POSTER 2 CHILDREN'S UNDERSTANDING OF SECRECY AND THEINFLUENCE OF ADULT VERBAL INPUT

89

CORRINE HARRINGTON, JULIA HEBERLE (ALBRIGHTCOLLEGE) This study investigates the influence of adult verbal input onchildren’s understanding of secrecy. CHILDES open-accesstranscript database was used to find the frequency and context ofsecrecy related words like “secret” “tell” “don’t tell” and “surprise.Children were likely to use “secret” during pretend play and weremore likely to hear it from their mother or sibling. Children alsorarely heard the phrase “don’t tell”, suggesting children are rarelytaught to keep secrets. POSTER 3 RACE AND PATRIOTISM EFFECT ON ATTITUDES ABOUTIMMIGRATION CASEY NUTTER, GRACE CROSS, HERMIONE RIGGS, SEANCOYNE (NOTRE DAME OF MARYLAND UNIVERSITY) This study measured levels of blind patriotism, constructivepatriotism, perceived threats of immigrants, and attitudes aboutimmigration in a sample of 96 adults from college campuses.Results indicated a moderate, positive correlation betweenconstructive patriotism and positive attitudes about immigration,while strong, negative correlations exist between blind patriotismand positive attitudes about immigration. Perceived threat waspositively correlated with blind patriotism, but negativelycorrelated with constructive patriotism. There were no significantracial differences. POSTER 4 DIFFERENCES IN SOCIAL SKILLS BETWEEN COLLEGEFIRST YEARS AND SENIORS PETER LAWRENCE (MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE) College students’ continued neurological development andintense socialization ought to lead to significant improvements inthe social aspects of social skills than emotional skills betweenfirst-years and seniors. The study’s results, examining data fromthe Longitudinal Mental Health Survey, demonstrate a weakcorrelation between time spent at college and improvement insocial skills. However, the Covid-19 Pandemic could beresponsible for these results as it limited socialization thusmitigating the predicted social skills improvements. POSTER 5 LACK OF EXPERTISE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS INAFFECTING LEVELS OF TRUSTWORTHINESS ANDPERSUASION TALIA MASLOW, GEOFFREY MUNRO (TOWSONUNIVERSITY) Past research suggests that credibility, consisting oftrustworthiness and expertise, impacts the persuasiveness of asource. Perceptions of trustworthiness, expertise, and persuasionin two food critics were assessed. One critic acknowledged a lackof expertise in an unrelated area, and one did not.Acknowledging a lack of expertise increased sourcetrustworthiness and expertise. However, participants did not view

the food critic who acknowledged a lack of expertise as morepersuasive than the other food critic. POSTER 6 REFRAMING MENSTRUAL LEAVE GILLIAN YI, JASON DAHLING (THE COLLEGE OF NEWJERSEY) This experiment examined reactions toward menstrual leavepolicies in the workplace. A participant pool of 183 Americanadults read a sample leave policy that manipulated the emphasison menstruation and subsequently rated the organization ondiversity support, fairness, and employer attractiveness. Contraryto expectations, the policy manipulation was unrelated todiversity support and fairness perceptions among both male andfemale participants. However, diversity support and fairnessperceptions were positively related to employer attractiveness. POSTER 7 EVALUATING UNWANTED ONLINE PURSUIT RESPONSESIN COLLEGE AGED STUDENTS KAYLA MCCUSKER, WILLA ZIMMERMAN, SARAHWEINBERGER-LITMAN, CHERYL PARADIS (MARYMOUNTMANHATTAN COLLEGE) The researchers investigated the effects of online harassmentfollowing the end of a relationship in college aged people. Theparticipants filled out a survey that pertained to onlineharassment, 45% of participants had experienced some type ofharassment following the end of a romantic or platonicrelationship. The data suggests that a majority of the participantsexperienced anxiety and distrust in others after getting out of therelationship in which they were harassed. POSTER 8 THE COGNITIVE BENEFITS OF MULTIPLE LANGUAGE USE LASMA PADEDZE (MANHATTAN COLLEGE) This study examined how cognitive advantages associated withlanguage learning interact with bilinguals and multilingualsperception of happiness, trait anxiety, cognitive fusion, andemotional attentional control compared to monolinguals. Datarevealed that enriched multilingual experience (e.g., fluency,frequent use) has a significant relationship with all scales.Significant relationships were found between demographicvariables and responses on all scales. Results suggest thatmultilinguals may have greater advantage at psychologicalflexibility and cognitive control. POSTER 9 MINDSET: THE EFFECT ON COLLEGE STUDENTS’ADJUSTMENT TO ONLINE LEARNING EMILY ANGELILLO (MARYMOUNT MANHATTAN COLLEGE) In March, 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic changed livesthroughout our world. The present study focused on the effect of

90

these changes on college students in the U.S. Specifically, thestudy examined the relationship between students’ ‘mindsets’(i.e., attitudes toward the malleability of intelligence) and theiradjustment to online schooling. Results indicated a strongpositive correlation -- the greater the belief in the potential growthof intelligence, the better the adjustment from in-person to virtualinstruction. POSTER 10 ATTITUDES TOWARDS E-CIGARETTES AND COMBUSTIBLECIGARETTES GRACE VIVIANO, LINDA LIN (EMMANUEL COLLEGE) This study examined people’s attitudes and beliefs towardse-cigarettes and combustible cigarettes in a direct side-by-sidecomparison. We measured outcome expectancies, perceivedhealth risks, descriptive/injunctive norms, and trait ratings. Theresults indicated significant differences in trait ratings, positiveoutcome expectancies, perceived health risks, and injunctivenorms and that people perceive e-cigarettes in a significantlymore positive light than combustible cigarettes. There were nosignificant findings for outcome expectancies and descriptivenorms. POSTER 11 DEMOGRAPHIC SUSCEPTIBILITY TO COVID-19DISINFORMATION MATTHEW LEMANSKY, LINDA LIN (EMMANUEL COLLEGE),MICHAEL BERG (WHEATON COLLEGE) This study examined the relationship between demographicvariables, COVID-19 vaccine disinformation endorsement, andvaccination status. In July 2021, we collected data on COVID-19disinformation endorsement, demographic factors (age, gender,race, education, political ideology, religiosity), and vaccinationstatus. We found that endorsement of vaccine disinformation wasrelated to greater political conservatism, greater religiosity, andvaccination status. POSTER 12 FACE MASKS AND SOCIABILITY AMONG COLLEGESTUDENTS RILEY MCHUGH, COLE CORRIGAN, ERIK PARRY, AUDREYWEIL (WASHINGTON COLLEGE) We investigated how the presence of facemasks duringCOVID-19 has affected sociability amongst college students.Specifically, we looked at the variability of approachability ratingsparticipants gave in response to masked and unmasked subjects.We found significant results that show a discrepancy between theapproachability ratings of subjects wearing a mask or not. Thedata showed that participants rated masked subjects as lessapproachable and unmasked subjects as more approachable. POSTER 13 FACTOR ANALYSIS INDICATES RESILIENCE AS ANASPECT OF META-MOOD EXPERIENCE

KAI OKAGAWA, YUHAN BI, MICHAL NEWHOUSE-VANVLERIN, OREI ODENTS, FITSUM AYELE, KIMBERLYBARCHARD (UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, LAS VEGAS) Meta-mood experience is the tendency to monitor and regulateongoing mood states. Using the 30-item Trait Meta-Mood Scale,Salovey et al. (1995) identified three factors (Attention, Clarity,and Repair), but Palmer et al. (2003) found four. Among 202undergraduates, the four-factor model fit best. The novel fourthfactor, Resilience, measures the ability to maintain a stableemotional outlook. To better capture meta-mood experience,researchers using the TMMS could calculate subscales basedupon this four-factor model. POSTER 14 EARLIER COLLEGE CLASS START TIME PREDICTS LOWERGPA, ALERTNESS, & COURSE ENGAGEMENT LIA CHARLES, SUSAN WENZE (LAFAYETTE COLLEGE) This study tested whether college course start time predictsstudent outcomes (grades, engagement, sleepiness) &/or studentevaluations of teaching in 82 Introduction to PsychologicalScience students (8:00-8:50am n = 39 vs 10-10:50am n = 43) ata private mid-Atlantic small liberal arts college in Spring, 2021.Controlling for GPA, students in the later section completed morereadings, had an easier time waking up and staying awake forclass, and reported marginally less sleepiness. POSTER 15 THE EFFECTS OF DISTRACTIONS AND EXTRA TIME ONCOLLEGE STUDENTS WHILE TEST ATHANASIA GIANNOPOULOS, JENNIFER ELLIOTT (MOLLOYCOLLEGE) College students’ grades can be negatively impacted bydistractions. Providing extra time to students may help.Thirty-nine college students completed a three-questionelementary school level reading comprehension and vocabularytest. Half of the students took their test in an environment withdistractions, half in one without distractions. Half in each classwere given extra time; half were not. Findings showed thatstudents who faced distractions did more poorly than those withno distraction. POSTER 16 UNDERGRADUATE ALCOHOL USE PERCEPTIONSEXPERIMENT LEWIS M RODRIGUEZ, MYAH CHAPMAN, AMBER ENORWOOD (SHIPPENSBURG UNIVERSITY OFPENNSYLVANIA) A sample of predominantly white (n=93, 80.9%) and female(n=82, 71.3%) undergraduate students were assessed onstandard alcohol knowledge and perceptions of personal use.The majority of participants accurately identified standard drinksizes and healthy drinking limits. With respect to AUDIT scoreson risky drinking (n=85 on this measure), 56 (65.9%) participants

91

scored in the low-risk range, with the remaining 34.1% ofparticipants scoring in either the hazardous/harmful or likelyalcohol dependent categories. POSTER 17 AN INVESTIGATION INTO RETENTION OFUNDERREPRESENTED STUDENTS IN STEM MAJORS ANDREW LENWAY, CHRISTIE KARPIAK (UNIVERSITY OFSCRANTON) We hypothesized that students in a grant-funded program toretain economically underrepresented students in STEM wouldshow greater changes in science self-efficacy and belonging overthe first year than other STEM students. Retention was higherand a marginally larger gain in belonging was found, but gain inself-efficacy was not different from other STEM students.Secondary analyses revealed a large difference betweenprogram students from minoritized and majority groups, pointingto the importance of intersectionality. POSTER 18 STATISTICAL REGRESSION ON SINGLE SUBJECT DATA INAPPLIED BEHAVIORAL RESEARCH MEGAN BEYOR, ADAM FOX (ST. LAWRENCE UNIVERSITY) Research in Behavioral Analysis tends to rely on visual analysis,but the addition of a statistical model can offer severaladvantages for researchers. Specifically, we show a statisticalregression model which utilizes linear regression across andwithin each phase of a single subject experiment can help bolstervisual analysis and make communication of results clearer to abroader audience. Statical analyses should not be used toreplace visual analysis, rather as an additional tool. POSTER 19 DENTAL APPEARANCE IS ASSOCIATED WITHSELF-ESTEEM IN YOUNG ADULTS JORDAN BARNETT, SARAH WEINBERGER-LITMAN(MARYMOUNT MANHATTAN COLLEGE) The current study aims to explore how dental appearance isassociated with body image and self-esteem. The more negativeperception of one’s smile and greater endorsement of the needfor orthodontic treatment was associated with worse self-esteem.Furthermore, we strive to investigate the potential correlation withdisparities in access to dental care, as well as whether theCOVID-19 pandemic is having any effects on access to dentaltreatment. POSTER 20 COGNITIVE LOAD IN A ZOOM WORLD: STUDENT ANDINSTRUCTOR PERCEPTIONS AUDREY WENZEL, CEILI BANASIK, MORGAN JACKSON,EMILY POSTLETHWAIT, ALEXANDER STEITZ, JENNIFERMCCABE (GOUCHER COLLEGE)

This study explored Zoom-class factors with regard to mentalexhaustion and cognitive load. Results revealed that class length,total time, and number of classes positively correlated withundergraduates’ levels of mental exhaustion. Student participantsalso reported that specific Zoom features, teaching strategies,learning environment, and feelings/attitudes impacted theirextraneous (non-learning-task-focused) cognitive load. Instructorperceptions were mostly aligned with students, but in somecases differed. POSTER 21 GENDER AND RACIAL INEQUALITY IN TEACHING OFPSYCHOLOGY JOURNALS? FRANK A. ILLIANO, NATALIE J. CIAROCCO (MONMOUTHUNIVERSITY), AARON S. RICHMOND (METROPOLITANSTATE UNIVERSITY OF DENVER), NATALIE O. DELGADO(MONMOUTH UNIVERSITY), BIRUNGI BALIJAHE(METROPOLITAN STATE UNIVERSITY OF DENVER) Little is known about how race and gender impact teaching ofpsychology research. The current archival study examined threeteaching of psychology journals over the past 20 years. Findingsindicate that gender and ethnicity often go unreported in samplesand are rarely the topic of articles, more men are editors andeditorial board members, and White women tend to be authors.These findings will be used to encourage inclusivity in teaching ofpsychology research. POSTER 22 COVID-19 PANDEMIC FACTORS AND BURNOUT INCOLLEGE STUDENTS, AND THE ROLE NANDINI MEHTA (THE COLLEGE OF NEW JERSEY) The present study examined how technology overload,loneliness, and financial strain related to burnout among collegestudents during the COVID-19 pandemic, and if affectiverumination tendencies moderated these relationships. A series ofthree online surveys distributed one week apart was given tocollege students during the pandemic. Results indicated apositive relationship between affective rumination and burnout,but no significant interactions of affective rumination on thehypothesized relationship. POSTER 23 EFFECTS OF EXERCISE ON MOTIVATION ANDPRODUCTIVITY IN COLLEGE STUDENTS SHANNON MCGOEY, ERIN SMITH (SUSQUEHANNAUNIVERSITY) Studies indicate that exercise impacts mood, reducing negativefeelings and increasing positive feelings, however therelationship between exercise and increases in productivityremain largely unexplored. In this study, 77 undergraduatestudents rated their moods before and after engaging in at least20 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise. Results showincreases in positive mood for aerobic, anaerobic, and acombination of both types of exercise, with highest increasesamong those who performed anaerobic exercise.

92

POSTER 24 ACTUAL AND FEARED SELF-IMAGES IN AIDS-BEREAVEDYOUTH: NEGATIVITY AND COMPARTMENTALIZATION ASHLEY MENJIVAR (FELICIAN UNIVERSITY) We examined actual and feared selves in 40 AIDS-bereavedyouth (ABY) and a matched comparison sample of universitystudents. Participants described themselves in 13 identities asthey actually are now, and in a feared self as they would be ifthey were to become HIV-positive. ABY scored higher on ameasure of compartmentalization but did not reach significance.The strongest conclusion from this analysis is thatcompartmentalization was not uniquely strong in ABY fearedselves. POSTER 25 THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ANXIETY SEVERITY ANDADHD SYMPTOMS AMONG COLLEGE STUDENTS JACQUELINE LEWIS, KAYLEE SEDDIO, DEBORAH POLLACK(UTICA COLLEGE) College students who experience Anxiety can also experienceADHD symptoms. Past literature indicates that there exists a highcomorbidity with Anxiety and ADHD. Using data from 200undergraduates, an analysis of variance was conducted to finddifferences in ADHD symptoms between Anxiety severity groups.A statistically significant difference was found, indicating thatthose with severe Anxiety present more ADHD symptoms. POSTER 26 TREATING COVID-19 AND HEALTH ANXIETY AMONGNURSES: THE MODERATING ROLE OF SELF-CARE CHRISTOPHER MCGUIRE, BRIAN AYOTTE, ANNASCHIERBERL SCHERR, MARNI KELLOGG (UNIVERSITY OFMASSACHUSETTS DARTMOUTH) The COVID-19 pandemic is related to psychological struggle innurses, including health anxiety. Data were collected from 148nurses via an online questionnaire to measure health anxietysymptoms and self-care behaviors. There was a significantdifference in health anxiety between nurses who treated patientswith COVID-19 versus those who did not, but engaging inself-care behaviors attenuated this difference. This studydemonstrates the importance of self-care behaviors for nursesmanaging mental health outcomes. POSTER 27 THE EFFECTS OF COVID-19 ON SLEEP, STRESS ANDDEPRESSION ALEXA PHILLIPS, CLAIRE NOVOSAD (SOUTHERNCONNECTICUT STATE UNIVERSITY) Young adults (N=143) were asked to compare stress,depression, and sleep quality from before the pandemic (2019) tonow (2021) by completing the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS),

Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and the Pittsburgh SleepQuality Index (PSQI). Significant differences were found for all 3measures when 2019 scores were compared to 2021 scores.Women reported higher levels of stress (2019 and 2021), higherlevels of depression (2021) and higher levels of sleep problems(2021). POSTER 28 PUBLIC PERCEPTIONS OF POLITICAL FIGURES SARA GHERARDI, KATHRYN MILLIREN, JAMES GRIFFITH(SHIPPENSBURG UNIVERSITY) The current study examined how participants’ psychopathy levelaffects their perceptions of past and current presidents and howthey would rank these presidents on the hare psychopathy scale.There were statistically significant correlations between politicalaffiliation, perceived levels of psychopathology and grit inAmerican Presidents, and self-evaluated levels ofpsychopathology and grit. This study adds to current research, asno studies have currently been conducted relating participant’spsychopathy to the president’s perceived psychopathy. POSTER 29 SOCIAL REACTIONS TO DISCLOSURES OF SEXUALASSAULT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH DISORDERED EATING KAYLA MARTINS, JOANNA HERRES (THE COLLEGE OF NEWJERSEY) Campus sexual assault victims are at increased risk of eatingdisorders (Ganson et al., 2020), possibly due to negative socialreactions to sexual assault disclosures. Among 440undergraduate students who completed a survey, 57 reportedbeing a victims of sexual assault. Key findings demonstrate thatvictims who received unsupportive acknowledgement reactionsafter disclosures reported more disordered eating. These findingshighlight the importance of prevention against mental healthproblems post-assault including eating disorder symptoms. POSTER 30 RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN STRESS, PRE-SLEEPAROUSAL AND NIGHTMARES AMONG UNIVERSITYSTUDENTS JHANVI GULABANI, LESLIE GELLIS (SYRACUSEUNIVERSITY) Nightmares are associated with significant distress and disturbedsleep, which may negatively impact multiple physical and mentalhealth outcomes. This study compares perceived stress andcognitive and physiologic arousal in those who did and did notreport a nightmare in the past week. This is the first study thatlooks at the relationship between pre-sleep arousal andnightmares and shows that those with higher somatic arousal aremore likely to experience nightmares. POSTER 31 RINSTA OR FINSTA? DESCRIPTIVE STUDY OF HOWCOLLEGE STUDENTS USE INSTAGRAM ACCOUNTS

93

JANINE GOGGIN, SAMANTHA SHORT, ELIJAH SCHECHTER,SAMANTHA OKEEFE, JESSICA ADAMS, KATHERINEWETTENGEL, KYLEE LONG, JENNIFER M KNACK(CLARKSON UNIVERSITY) The purpose of this descriptive study was to determine whethercollege students use rinsta and finsta accounts differently and ifthese differences were associated with indicators of depression.Our preliminary results indicate that college students portraythemselves differently on rinsta and finsta. Students' activity onfinsta may more accurately reflect their actual lives in partbecause they have a smaller, more intimate following on finstarather than a larger broader audience on rinsta. POSTER 32 EXPERIENCES OF EVERYDAY RACISM AND INCIDENCESOF SOMATIC SYMPTOMS IN US LATINOS ISABEL TORRES, JENNA RIEDER (THOMAS JEFFERSONUNIVERSITY) In the United States, Latinos have an elevated risk of poor mentaland physical health outcomes. To examine the correlationbetween racism and somatic symptoms, thirty-six participantstook two surveys. Our results support that there is a relationship,which, despite limited statistical power, may indicate that theseassociations are robust. Participants with darker skin tones alsoexperienced more discrimination. This has implications for theimpact racism has on long-term long-term physical & mentalhealth. POSTER 33 THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN ACTIVITIES, RESILIENCE,AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING IN COLLEGESTUDENTS SAMUEL GOTTHEIL, PING ZHENG (ELMIRA COLLEGE) The Covid-19 pandemic has affected college students by causingchanges and massive upheaval in daily life. Early researchshows alarming data about the pandemic’s toll on students’mental well-being. Resilience was identified to be associated withbetter psychological well-being among college students duringthe Covid-19 period. The results of a survey of 104 collegestudents indicated that practicing mindfulness, physical activity,and optimistic thinking positively correlated with resilience andpsychological well-being.

Keywords: Covid-19, Resilience, POSTER 34 A NATURALISTIC OBSERVATION OF COLLEGE STUDENTS’USE OF HAND-SANITIZER DISPENSERS DURING COVID-19 MAKENNA LUZENSKI, JOSIE COPE, YINUO JING, MOLLYTERESI, CHRIS BOYATZIS (BUCKNELL UNIVERSITY) The COVID-19 pandemic struck colleges across the nation. When many schools reopened in the fall 2020, to protect thehealth of students and staff they took numerous risk-mitigation

steps including installation of hand-sanitizer dispensers acrosscampus. During that semester we conducted unobtrusivenaturalistic observations of 1,680 private-university students asthey walked past hand sanitizers in high-traffic buildings (library,dorm, student center). In an overwhelming 96% of observations,students did not use the hand sanitizers. POSTER 35 SMARTPHONES' INTRUSION IN PEOPLE'S LIVES: HOWSMARTPHONES DISTRACT FROM GROUPCOMMUNICATION. IRINA BUKHANOV, CARRIE DIMATTEO (TOURO COLLEGE) This study investigated how the presence of smartphones candisrupt communication. Forty students participated on Zoomduring their online class. Participants were randomly assigned toengage on Zoom with one another with or without theirsmartphones. Results showed a significant impact of smartphonepresence on participants’ emotional states, thoughts, andmemory. These data are consistent with previous studies thatdemonstrate the negative influence of smartphones on people’squality of interaction, health, and well-being. POSTER 36 THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY AND THEIR RELATIONSHIPWITH MENTAL HEALTH IN HIGHER EDUCATION ISABELLA FEEST, JASON SIKORSKI (CENTRALCONNECTICUT STATE UNIVERSITY) This study addresses the differences between LGBTQ+ andnon-LGBTQ+ college students on mental and physical health.The National College Health Assessment was administered to691 college students. An independent samples t-test andPearson Chi Square test were performed, both of whichsuggested the rates of some unhealthy behaviors were higher inLGBTQ+ than non-LGBTQ+ college students, such as abusiverelationships and stress. This study promotes further research onLGBTQ+ college students and their health behaviors. POSTER 37 DO MORAL BELIEFS LICENSE ACCEPTANCE OF IMMORALBEHAVIOR? AIDA RAMIREZ (SAINT PETER'S UNIVERSITY), TAYLORSANCHEZ, BRITTANY HANSON (SAINT PETER'SUNIVERSITY) The current study found that when participants agree with anactivist’s stance on a political issue, feeling greater moralconviction about the issue predicted more positive evaluations ofthe speaker—regardless of whether the activist lied in a speechabout the issue. These finding conceptually replicated Muellerand Skitka (2017) using the traditionally conservative stance ofsupporting capital punishment compared to the traditionallyliberal stance of supporting abortion used in the original study. POSTER 38 SOCIAL EMOTIONAL FUNCTIONING AND ATTENTION

94

PAIGE DESROSIERS, GWYNE W. WHITE (MERRIMACKCOLLEGE) It is hypothesized that poor utilization of social skills may providediagnostic clarity for missed diagnoses of ADHD. Individuals withADHD often evidence social immaturity and social skills deficitsduring childhood that can result in lifelong social weaknesses andanxiety. Thirty-six college students completed a survey thatexplored attention, social skills, and social anxiety. Initial findingssuggest there is a positive relationship between inattentive ADHDand both social anxiety and deficits in functional socialcommunication. POSTER 39 THE EFFECTS OF MINDFULNESS PRACTICE ONDEPRESSION, ANXIETY, AND STRESS KYLA ZIMMERMAN, IRNIA KHUSID (EAST STROUDSBURGUNIVERSITY) Mindfulness techniques are believed to be an effective methodfor improving quality of life. This study examined the effect ofmindfulness practice on subjects' quality of life, defined asgeneral levels of stress, depression and anxiety. Forty-fiveundergraduate students completed online questionnaires andreported their frequency of mindfulness practice techniques. Nosignificant differences were found in general levels of stress,depression, or anxiety in subjects who reported more or lessfrequent mindfulness practice. POSTER 40 TECHNOLOGY USE, ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, AND SLEEPQUALITY EMILEE NEDZ, BRENNA VALLORANI, ALEC MURTHA (SAINTVINCENT COLLEGE) Previous research has emphasized the importance of gettingsufficient sleep to maintain proper cognitive functioning. Weexplored the relationships between sleep quality, daily mediausage, internet addiction, and the severity of anxiety anddepression symptoms to find support for previous research thatindicated that depressive and anxiety symptoms were predictorsof sleep quality. We also aimed to contribute to the field bydiscovering evidence that daily media consumption and internetaddiction predicted sleep quality. POSTER 41 CAN STRESS FROM INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPSEFFECT AN INDIVIDUAL’S WORK PERFORMANCE? EMMET O'BOY (MACAULAY HONORS COLLEGE AT LEHMANCOLLEGE CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK) The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effectinterpersonal (romantic relationship) based stress has on thework performance of an individual. This research is part of alarger study being conducted at the University of Michigan'sWellness Health and Interpersonal Relationship Laboratory(WHIRL).

POSTER 42 EXPLORING CULTURAL VALUES IN HIGHER EDUCATIONMISSION STATEMENTS: A QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS RINEATH TAING, ANDREW BETTS, PATRICE PENROSE,TATYANA PATTON, VICTORIA QUINN, JANET CHANG (WESTCHESTER UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA) Research on cultural values in higher-education messaging isscarce. This qualitative study analyzed mission statements from110 top-ranked U.S. colleges and universities to exploreprevailing cultural values. Results revealed institutionsemphasized collaboration and community to encourage softindependence (e.g., personal achievement), promote campusand global citizenship, advance knowledge (e.g., research), andfoster belonging. Institutions may need to assess how theirmessaging is perceived by their audience if they aim to diversifyand retain students. POSTER 43 THE EFFECTS OF PEER MENTORING ON FIRST-YEARPSYCHOLOGY STUDENT RETENTION EMILY CHATBURN, CAITLYN BIRMINGHAM, GABRIELLACOBOS, KARENA RUSH (MILLERSVILLE UNIVERSITY) Mentoring college students is a common practice (Shanahan etal., 2015). Peer mentoring has benefits in that the mentors havein-depth knowledge of the college experience and theiruniversity. This study examined the benefits of a peer mentoringprogram for first-year students. The results indicated thatstudents from minoritized backgrounds utilized the resourcesmore than others. However, there was no impact on retentionrates. Confounds (e.g. COVID) and future directions areexplored. POSTER 44 PARENTS' PERCEPTIONS OF CHILDREN'S REMOTELEARNING EXPERIENCES GRACE DUMAS, HEATHER BEAUCHAMP (STATEUNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK AT POTSDAM) This exploratory research involved creating a parental survey forchildren’s remote learning experiences. The Remote LearningSurvey was first pilot tested in Qualtrics on 20 parents ofschool-age children. The survey was then substantially modifiedand administered through Qualtrics to a new sample of parentswith school-age children. We explored parental perceptions ofonline learning for singletons and twins. Preliminary data forsingletons show online struggles and gaps in education forremote learners. POSTER 45 USE OF PRETEND PLAY AND IMAGINARY COMPANIONSFOR EMOTION REGULATION AND CONTROL CHANTAL VALDIVIA, TRACY GLEASON (WELLESLEYCOLLEGE)

95

Theoretically, children regulate emotions and exert control whenengaged in pretend play (PP) or with imaginary companions(ICs), but whether they do or do so the same way is unclear.Parents of 71 preschool children kept diaries of their children’sPP and ICs for two weeks; diary episodes (n=573) were codedfor emotion regulation (ER) and control. Both occurred rarely,largely with ICs, suggesting these activities might serve different purposes in development. POSTER 46 NOT ALL SKINFOLK ARE KINFOLK: SKIN TONE EFFECTSON BIPOC STUDENTS’ EXPERIENCES KEITH JAMISON JR, ROSITA SCERBO, GUADALUPEGONZALEZ (ALLEGHENY COLLEGE) This preliminary study examined how skin tone influencesBIPOC. Participants with medium skin tones had more friendsand reported higher levels of colorist attitudes than those withdark skin tones but these differences were not statisticallysignificant. Future research should obtain larger samples toexamine how skin tone affects BIPOC. The influence of skin toneand colorism on BIPOC and implications for recruitment andretention of BIPOC college students will be discussed. POSTER 47 THE FACE BEHIND THE MASK: RECOGNITION OFEMOTIONS IN FACES WEARING MASKS MEGAN WRIGHT, EMILY FERNANDES (KEENE STATECOLLEGE) Understanding the emotional state of others is critical to successin social situations. Through the COVID-19 pandemic, individualshave covered the bottom half of their faces, blocking a portion ofthe information conveyed from emotional expression. This studyresearched participants' ability to recognize emotions from faceswearing face masks. Participants were more accurate when itcame to perceiving the emotions of the stimuli with no maskrather than the stimuli that had a mask present. POSTER 48 INVESTIGATING PUBLIC’S PERCEPTION ON TREATMENTSFOR PANIC DISORDER CALEIGH CAPEK (SAINT JOSEPH'S COLLEGE NEW YORK) The purpose of this study was to investigate the public’sperception of treatments for panic disorder (PD). Fifty-oneparticipants were randomly assigned to read a vignette regardinga person with PD who received either cognitive behavioraltherapy (CBT) or panic-focused psychodynamic therapy (PFPP),followed by a survey. Participants did not believe CBT wassuperior to PFPP, despite prior research supporting CBT in thetreatment of PD. These results reveal an issue in CBTdissemination. POSTER 49 APPROACHES TO EDUCATING INDIVIDUALS ABOUT

TRAUMA-INFORMED CARE KATHERINE MARGIOTTA, MARY FALLON, NICOLEHESSELBARTH, WHITNEY WOOD (LE MOYNE COLLEGE) Traumatic experiences can stymie healthy brain development,leading to emotional and behavioral difficulties in children.Previous research has explored methods of trainingprofessionals to adequately support children with histories oftrauma. Sixty-nine undergraduate students viewed apre-recorded lecture and completed pre and post-tests to assesstheir knowledge of trauma-informed care. This study aims to buildon existing research by investigating whether a brief interventioncan lead to more informed perspectives on childhood trauma. POSTER 50 EMBODIED NARRATIVE KNOWING: ADVANCED MARTIALARTS KAITLYNNE SEMINSKY (BETHANY COLLEGE) The purpose of this research is to conclude whether aninexperienced, unbiased individual can interpret the samethemes as an experienced individual through personal narratives.By completing a meta-analysis on nine vignettes about subjects’personal experience with advanced martial arts, I found commonthemes throughout. My resulting themes were similar to those ofDr. Overton’s, validating our hypothesis that I would be able togain insight on martial arts without obtaining any first-handexperience. POSTER 51 THROUGH THE DIGITAL LOOKING GLASS: THE EFFECTSOF SOCIAL MEDIA ON DEPRESSION, IRINA KHUSID, TOM ACHEY, GUNNER ANGLOVICH, MAURIJACKSON, BENNY PEMBLETON, HEAVEN RIVERA (EASTSTROUDSBURG UNIVERSITY) People who spend more time on social media are more likely tohave their mood affected negatively. Ninety-seven collegestudents completed a questionnaire and responded to how manyhours a week they use certain social media platforms. Questionsin the survey assessed feelings of depression, anxiety, andalcohol use. Results showed there is a significant positivecorrelations between Facebook use and depression and Twitteruse and alcohol use. POSTER 52 THE EFFECTS OF PRE-EVENT MISINFORMATION ON FALSEMEMORIES EMILY HILLIARD, KIMERY LEVERING (MARIST COLLEGE) The current study explores whether misinformation before anevent produces the misinformation effect. Participants watched avideo of an event either before or after watching a first-personaccount that was either accurate or included misinformation.Participants then took a multiple-choice test that asked questionsabout details of the event. Consistent with our predictions, wefound that misinformation interfered with memory of the event

CHAIR: DARRYL HILL

“DON’T BE UNCONSCIOUS, JOIN OUR RANKS!”: ACTIVISTPSYCHOLOGISTS, 1920-1980 BEN HARRIS (UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE) How did psychologists participate in 20th century movements forsocial change? Are there role models in psychology’s past fortoday’s social activists? This talk tells the story of psychologistswho challenged the prejudices of the day about race, socialclass, gender, sexual orientation and religion. The story beginsin the 1920s with feminists wanting to dismantle the patriarchalfamily. It continues during the Depression with Marxist caucusessupporting labor and opposing fascism. After WWIIpsychologists formed SPSSI, active in the civil rights movement. Individual activists will be profiled (e.g., Evelyn Hooker) as wellas the EPA’s brief moment of activism.

CHAIR: YVANNE JOSEPH

2:00pm - 2:15pm ONLINE INSTRUCTION IMPROVES COLLEGE STUDENTS’FACT-CHECKING SKILLS ACROSS POLITICAL IDENTITIES JESSICA E. BRODSKY, PATRICIA J. BROOKS (THEGRADUATE CENTER AND THE COLLEGE OF STATENISLAND, CUNY), CATHERINE MESSINA (TEACHERSCOLLEGE, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY), DONNA SCIMECA,PETER GALATI (THE COLLEGE OF STATEN ISLAND, CUNY),MICHAEL CAULFIELD (UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON) Undergraduates (N = 221) learned to fact-check onlineinformation using lateral reading (i.e., leaving content to researchsources and check claims). Students showed gains in identifyinglateral reading strategies as the best ways to fact-checkinformation and in their use of lateral reading. Identifying andusing lateral reading strategies were only modestly related, but

both did not vary by political identity. Findings suggest thatpolitical identities do not pose a barrier to improving fact-checkingskills. 2:20pm - 2:35pm STUDENT ENGAGEMENT AND EDUCATIONAL BARRIERS INTHE ERA OF COVID-19 TYSON KREIGER, EMILY MULLINAX, ANGELINE VITI (UTICACOLLEGE) Higher education is struggling with the unprecedented effects ofthe Covid-19 pandemic and researchers are beginning toexamine these outcomes. Adding to this research, we compareda pre-pandemic sample of college undergraduates to a samplesurveyed one year into the pandemic to determine if Covid-19negatively affected student engagement and increasedperceptions of educational barriers. The pre-pandemic samplereported greater levels of student engagement; yet, also reportedgreater concern over several educational barriers. 2:40pm - 2:55pm PROCRASTINATION, INDECISION, AND SELF-REGULATEDLEARNING: RELATIONSHIP WITHIN ONLINE LEARNINGENVIRONMENTS REZA FEYZI BEHNAGH, SEMIH BURSALI, SHAGHAYEGHSAHEBI (UNIVERSITY AT ALBANY, STATE UNIVERSITY OFNEW YORK), JOSEPH R. FERRARI (DEPAUL UNIVERSITY) Research linked procrastination to a failure of self-regulation(SRL) and indecision. We examined how online procrastination islinked to fear-of-failure, lack of motivation, and indecision. Wefound that academic procrastination was associated negativelywith most aspects of online SRL, fear-of-failure, and chronicprocrastination. Fear-of-failure and lack of motivation was linkednegatively with environment restructuring aspect of SRL.Indecision negatively correlated with goal-setting and positivelywith fear-of-failure. 3:00pm - 3:15pm ONLINE PARTICIPATION IN YOGA AND MEDITATION:EFFECTS ON STRESS, BURNOUT, MINDFULNESS YVANNE JOSEPH (MEDGAR EVERS COLLEGE, CUNY),SUMEYRA TOSUN, BRANDI GREENE (MEDGAR EVERSCOLLEGE-CUNY), MARIA-LUISA RUIZ (MEDGAR EVERSCOLLEGE_CUNY) This study examines the responsiveness of faculty, staff, andstudents of MEC to online Yoga courses regarding perceivedlevels of stress, mindfulness, feelings of burnout, and workingmemory. Participants received Yoga courses for two months. Theresults demonstrated that the benefits of yoga practice aregradually experienced by all practitioners in the areas of stress,burnout, mindfulness, and memory. The findings are discussedregarding the importance of health and wellbeing during theCOVID-19 pandemic.

CHAIR: ERIC THRAILKILL

NICOTINE VAPING: A TRANSLATIONAL DELAYDISCOUNTING PERSPECTIVE AMY ODUM (UTAH STATE UNIVERSITY) Nicotine is a powerful reinforcer, as evidenced by the steep risein e-cigarette use by youth following decades of decline innicotine use through smoked tobacco. Why is vaping soreinforcing, and how has it captured so many new nicotineusers? In this talk, I will review findings from the human andanimal pre-clinical literature to try to provide an answer in part.Specifically, I will present evidence that delay discounting, thedecline in the value of temporally remote rewards, is associatedwith a number of maladies and cigarette and e-cigarette use inparticular. There are also clear disparities in nicotine use indifferent groups and regions of the U.S. We have developed a ratmodel of e-cigarette use that allows pre-clinical investigation of

important variables that may influence nicotine taking.

MEASURING AND UNDERSTANDING ACADEMIC RELATEDHELP SEEKING BEHAVIOR IN THE CONTEXT OF STUDENTSUCCESS Help Seeking Behavior (HSB) has been a common topic inpsychology however it typically focuses on individuals seekingmental health help. Yet, instructors regularly see students avoidaccess to assistance like tutoring that could be the differencebetween their academic success or failure. This symposium willfocus on HSB in the context of an academic setting.Measurement, associated variables, and techniques used toimprove student engagement in academic related HSB will bediscussed.

3:30pm - 3:45pm IS MANUAL DEXTERITY ASSOCIATED WITH INDIVIDUALDIFFERENCES IN THEORY OF MIND? RITA OBEID (CASE WESTERN RESERVE UNIVERSITY),DANIELLE DENIGRIS (FAIRLEIGH DICKINSON UNIVERSITY),PATRICIA BROOKS (THE COLLEGE OF STATEN ISLAND ANDTHE GRADUATE CENTER, CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEWYORK)

98

Building on research suggesting links between motor andlanguage abilities, we examined whether manual dexterity mightcorrelate with individual differences in theory of mind. Children(N= 62, M age= 8 years, 2 months) completed the pegboard task,the attribution of intentions task, and measures of workingmemory and language ability. Manual dexterity predicted uniquevariance in theory of mind after controlling for other variables.Potential impact of poor motor skills on social development arediscussed. 3:50pm - 4:05pm PANDEMIC'S IMPACT ON STUDENTS AND TEACHERS: NEWRESEARCH ELIZABETH ENGLANDER (BRIDGEWATER STATEUNIVERSITY) Two studies were conducted at the Massachusetts AggressionReduction Center: one survey of teenage students, and one ofK-12 educators. Results indicated that students were notexperiencing significant increases in problems such as bullyingand cyberbullying, but they were experiencing dramatic increasesin mental health challenges. Educators rated hybrid teaching asmost difficult, with a 10-fold increase in the percentage seriouslyconsidering leaving the field. Parents were less supportive thanin previous years. 4:10pm - 4:25pm DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENT TRAJECTORIES OF OWN ANDOTHERS' FALSE BELIEF DAVID SOBEL (BROWN UNIVERSITY) Using two metaanalyses and an investigation of a sample ofpreschoolers (N=1231), this paper suggests differentialdevelopmental trajectories in children’s responding to questionsabout their own representational change and others’ false belief.Three-year-olds are better able to track their ownrepresentational change than make predictions about others’false beliefs. Older preschoolers show the reverse pattern. Thesefindings have implications for theories of theory of mind andcognitive development. 4:30pm - 4:45pm PARENTING AND SYMPTOMS OF DEPRESSION INPARENTS AND CHILDREN OVER TIME THEAH VASQUEZ-O'BRIEN, MELISSA VALENZUELA(EASTERN CONNECTICUT STATE UNIVERSITY), ELIZABETHRELLINGER ZETTLER (ILLINOIS COLLEGE) Parenting and parent depression predict child depression(McLeod et al., 2007). We hypothesized bidirectional relationsbetween parenting, parent depression, and child depression, withparental warmth related to less depression and parental rejectionrelated to more depression. Families (N = 145) with two childrenparticipated at two time points. Longitudinally, child depressionpredicted increases in parent depression, but child depressionwas only influenced by concurrent parenting and parentdepression. Additional bidirectional research is needed.

LEARNING PAPERS: BEHAVIORAL ECONOMICSSaturday, March 5, 2022

3:30pm-4:50pm

CHAIR: JOSÃ© ALCALÃ¡

3:30pm - 3:45pm OVERSHADOWING EFFECT IN AN ITERATED TRUST GAME:ASSOCIATIVE PRINCIPLES IN SOCIAL INTERACTIONS JOSÉ ALCALÁ (UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM), MAÏKATELGA (UNIVERSITY OF ST. ANDREW), JOSE PRADOS(UNIVERSITY OF DERBY), GONZALO P. URCELAY(UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM) Cue-competition phenomena are a benchmark for learningmodels and have been observed across different domains.However, little attention has been paid to these phenomena insocial interactions. Across three experiments, we exploredwhether overshadowing (i.e., reduced learning about a cuetrained together with a redundant cue) characterizes sociallearning in an iterated trust game. In all experiments, anovershadowing effect was observed regardless of gendercategories or instructions manipulations. 3:50pm - 4:05pm BEHAVIORAL ECONOMICS OF DRUGS: COCAINE ANDHEROIN INTERACT DIFFERENTLY WITH NON-DRUGREINFORCERS DAVID KEARNS, MADELINE BEASLEY, SARAH AMANTINI(AMERICAN UNIVERSITY) Choice between reinforcers depends on whether they aresubstitutes, complements, or independents. A rat modelinvestigated how cocaine and heroin interact with non-drugreinforcers along the substitute-to-complement continuum. InExp. 1, heroin was a substitute for timeout-from-avoidance(safety), whereas cocaine was a complement. In Exp. 2, cocainesubstituted for social interaction, whereas heroin was anindependent. Preliminary results (Exp. 3) suggest that cocainesubstitutes for saccharin, whereas heroin complementssaccharin. 4:10pm - 4:25pm LOSS AVERSION AND RISK FOR CIGARETTE SMOKINGAND OTHER SUBSTANCE USE ERIC THRAILKILL (UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT) Loss aversion refers to the tendency for losses to have astronger influence on behavior than equivalent gains.Crowdsourced samples of cigarette smokers and never-smokers

99

completed measures of loss aversion. Smokers were less lossaverse than never-smokers. Low loss aversion was associatedwith smoking, alcohol-, other drug-, and poly-use independent ofdelay discounting, another important risk factor. Overall, thefindings suggest loss aversion deserves further study as possibleprotective decision-making factor related to health-risk behavior. 4:30pm - 4:45pm EFFECTS OF IMMEDIATE REINFORCEMENT TRAINING ONDELAY DISCOUNTING BEHAVIOR IN RATS ADAM FOX (ST LAWRENCE UNIVERSITY), CARLAMARTINEZ-PEREZ (AUBURN UNIVERSITY) Forced experience with delayed rewards has been shown toreduce impulsivity on delay discounting tasks. We tested theopposite: across five experiments, we exposed rats and humansto immediate rewards and assessed the impact on delaydiscounting behavior. For both species, there was evidence thatrepeatedly experiencing immediate rewards may increaseimpulsive choice on a subsequent delay discounting task.

SOCIAL POSTERS: PREJUDICE, PROSOCIAL BEHAVIOR,PERSUASION


POSTER 1 IMPACT OF RACE AND GENDER ON CHILDREN’SBEHAVIOR DISORDER DIAGNOSES DEBRA HULL, KELSIE MEINTEL, SAMARIA MURRY, JOHNHULL (BETHANY COLLEGE) Participants read a paragraph describing the school behavior ofeither a Black or white boy or girl, then rated the seriousness ofthe behavior, its probable cause, best treatment, and mostappropriate diagnosis. Results showed no differences based onthe child’s race or gender, with ratings indicating participantsthought the behavior of the child was troubling, was bestdiagnosed as oppositional defiant disorder, but also warrantedcompassion, respect for the child, and openness to change. POSTER 2 CROSS-CULTURAL VARIATIONS IN CHILD ANDADOLESCENT SUBJECTIVE WELL-BEING: ANINTEGRATIVE REVIEW ALEXA REILLY, KAITLYN BROWN, ABBY DEGARMO,ANNABELLE MADAMBA (THE COLLEGE OF NEW JERSEY)

100

The current research is an integrative review of the literature onchild and adolescent subject well-being (SWB) around the world.In conducting the review, we specifically focused on researchthat included participants from outside of the United States inorder to determine the universalities versus differences in themean levels and predictors of SWB for children and adolescents. POSTER 3 INTERPERSONAL IDENTITY CUES: THE EFFECT OFTHERAPIST IDENTITY/PERSONALITY ON THETHERAPEUTIC RELATIONSHIP JESSICA PHILIP, MELANIE MAIMON, DIANA SANCHEZ(RUTGERS UNIVERSITY, NEW BRUNSWICK) Women perceive a disagreeable man as more likely to beprejudicial than an agreeable man. 260 racial/ethnic minoritywomen read a therapist’s Psych Today profile before completingquestionnaires on perceived prejudice and anticipatedtherapeutic relationship outcomes. Black therapists wereperceived as more culturally competent and genuine intherapeutic relationships, and less likely to be racist than Whitetherapists. This highlights the importance of diversifying the fieldto make therapeutic settings more welcoming for racial/ethnicminorities. POSTER 4 PSYCHOLOGICAL DISORDER STIGMA RELATED TOPARTICIPANT GENDER, RACE AND RELIGIOUSAFFILIATION MCKAYLA MARTIN, MERSHAWN SMITH, DEBRA HULL, JOHNHULL (BETHANY COLLEGE) Participants read a scenario describing someone with adiagnosed psychological disorder, then evaluated that person forthings such as dangerousness and responsibility. Gender andrace of the person in the scenario had a negligible effect onparticipants’ evaluations. However, participant self-identifiedgender, race, and religious affiliation – and the specific disorderdiagnosis –significantly impacted participants’ perceptions of theseverity of disorder, and the extent to which participantsstigmatized the person in the scenario. POSTER 5 THE EFFECT OF MINDFULNESS ON REDUCING LGBTQBIAS IN HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS RYAN TUDINO, WILLIAM JELLISON (QUINNIPIACUNIVERSITY) Sexual prejudice is defined as a negative attitude toward anindividual based on their membership in a group defined bysexual orientation. These biases have been shown to causehealthcare disparities amongst LGBTQ individuals. However,mindfulness and one’s competency with the LGBTQ communitymay be associated with sexual prejudice. The current studydemonstrated that LGBTQ competency mediated the relationshipbetween mindfulness and explicit LGBTQ bias when mindfulnesswas measured as perspective-taking rather than trait

mindfulness. POSTER 6 ADDRESSING BARRIERS TO GYNECOLOGICAL HEALTHCARE FOR TRANSGENDER AND GENDER DIVERSEPOPULATIONS MEGHAN N. FLYNN (UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND,BALTIMORE COUNTY) The current study aims to outline the individual and systemicbarriers related to gynecological care for transgender and genderdiverse (TGD) populations, in an attempt to increase access toand expansion of gender-affirming practices. Results from 7 keyinformant interviews identified several barriers faced by transpatients when seeking gynecological care, including insufficienttraining from providers; lack of integrated community resources;and difficulties accessing insurance and coverage. Specificrecommendations from key informants are also discussed. POSTER 7 EVALUATING ANDROGYNY: DOES TARGET SEX ANDSOCIAL STATUS MATTER? REBECCA NORTON, EMMA SUTKIN, OLIVIA FRASER,URSULA SANBORN-OVERBY (STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEWYORK AT ONEONTA) It is important to understand how androgynous people areevaluated. We hypothesized that gender-role consistent targetswould be evaluated more positively than gender-role inconsistenttargets, with androgynous targets rated somewhere in between;and high social-status would mitigate the negative evaluations.Participants (N=251) rated targets who varied in status (i.e., low,high), gender-role (i.e., masculine, feminine), and sex (i.e., male,female). Results revealed interactions between status,gender-role consistency, and sex of target. Implications will bediscussed. POSTER 8 RESTRICTIVE GENDER NORMS ASSOCIATED WITHMASCULINITY AND ANTI-FEMININITY ISMAR FRANQUI SEGARRA, CATHERINE MELLO (THEPENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY) The purpose of this study was to investigate how young adultsperceive and experience the concept of masculinity. Men andwomen’s norms and stereotypes for masculinity and somehypothesized correlates of “fragile” masculinity were investigated.While participants had generally liberal norms for masculinity,men and participants who identified as religious tended to havemore restrictive norms. Endorsement of traditional norms wereassociated with defensive reactions to threatened masculinity,but not restricted affect or physical ideals. POSTER 9 PERCEPTIONS OF SEX WORK MARHARYTA BONDARCHUK, KRISTIN HENKEL CISTULLI

101

(UNIVERSITY OF SAINT JOSEPH) The purpose of this study is to explore participant attitudestowards sex workers and the differences in how online andin-person sex work are perceived. Although there were nosignificant differences in how participants perceived online andin-person sex work, individual differences such as religiosity andAmbivalent Sexism significantly predicted stigmatizing attitudestowards sex workers. POSTER 10 SPORTS UNIFORM COLOR AND GENDER ANDPERCEPTIONS OF AGGRESSION ALLISON PAXTON, DEBRA HULL, JOHN HULL (BETHANYCOLLEGE) Undergraduates read about a hypothetical soccer championshipgame featuring either men or women players wearing eitherorange or black uniforms, then rated various aspects of the gameon an aggression scale. The perception of aggression was notrelated to the color of the uniform, but to the gender of thespectator and gender of the championship team. Gender-baseddifferences depended on various aspects of the game—scoring,fouls called, and the particular fouls committed. POSTER 11 CRITICAL CONSCIOUSNESS: A RESOURCE FOR MEN TOACT FOR GENDER EQUALITY JENNIFER THOMAS, CAITLYN PIKE, ELLEN NEWELL(WILKES UNIVERSITY) What motivates men to act for gender equality? Criticalconsciousness is a tool to combat inequality. It entails criticalreflection, efficacy, and action. To examine whether criticalconsciousness explains men’s actions to reduce sexism,male-identified college students reported on their criticalreflection on sexism, efficacy, and actions for gender equality. Amediation model revealed men who had critical reflection weremore likely to have participated in actions to reduce sexism ifthey had efficacy. POSTER 12 AN EMPIRICAL ASSESSMENT OF "MANSPLAINING" CLAIRE GRAVELIN (SUNY COLLEGE AT GENESEO) Colloquial discussions of “mansplaining” suggest a genderedexperience whereby men interject or speak on behalf of womenwithout their solicitation and in spite of the expertise of thewoman involved. Despite the common use of this term, limitedempirical investigations into the practice, and consequences, ofmansplaining exist. The current work provides a qualitativeaccount of who mansplains, in what domains, and theconsequences of the experience. POSTER 13 MINDFULNESS, IMPLICIT RACIAL BIAS, AND AVERSIVERACISM IN NURSING

GITEL GORDON, LISA SAMSTAG, SARAH BLOCH-ELKOUBY(LONG ISLAND UNIVERSITY) This study examined the role mindfulness plays in therelationship between Implicit and Explicit Racial Bias andassessed whether mindfulness can help reduce the impact ofAversive Racism in nursing. Results indicated that extremely lowlevels of mindfulness trait reflect greater discrepancies betweenImplicit Biases and Explicit Biases and ultimately higher levels ofAversive Racism; suggesting that cultivating mindfulness mayhelp alleviate sustained racial inequities in healthcare. POSTER 14 ASSESSING THE REACTIVITY OF ETHNIC/RACIAL IDENTITYIN RESPONSE TO RACIAL DISCRIMINATION MATTHEW ROLAND, LEIGHA CLARKE, ELIZ BENNY, JOHNMORABITO, TOMMASO MAZZAFERRO, ELIZABETHBRONDOLO (SAINT JOHN'S UNIVERSITY), MATTHEWZAWADZKI (UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, MERCED) Ethnic/racial identity (ERI) has been linked with exposure todiscrimination, but it is unclear if ERI changes over time asexposure to discrimination varies. This longitudinal studyexamined the relations of discrimination to ERI in Blackindividuals. Across individuals, greater discrimination wasassociated with greater racial centrality, but within-individualvariations in exposure to discrimination over time were notassociated with changes in ERI. Findings have implications foridentity-based interventions to reduce effects of discrimination. POSTER 15 TESTING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INSTRUCTIONS INMITIGATING RACIAL BIAS IN SIZE JUDGMENTS ALEX BROSSEAU, ALEXA CIANGIULLI, JOHN PAUL WILSON(MONTCLAIR STATE UNIVERSITY) Across two studies, we tested the effectiveness of a simplemitigation strategy for reducing racial bias in size judgment.Here, we informed participants that people tend to overestimatethe size of Black men relative to White men. In response to abrief instruction to attempt to avoid this tendency, participantsshowed reduced racial bias in height judgments (Study 1) andharm capability judgments (Study 2). We discuss implications forperception of race and size. POSTER 16 RACIAL BIAS IN PERCEPTIONS OF THE AGE ANDPHYSICAL STRENGTH OF ADOLESCENTS ASHLEY POWELL, SONIA CONDE, JOHN PAUL WILSON(MONTCLAIR STATE UNIVERSITY) We explored racial biases in perception of age and strength ofadolescents aged 12-18. Participants made face-basedjudgements of White and Black male and female adolescents. Inan initial study, Black adolescents were judged to be older thanWhites adolescents. In the primary study, Black adolescentswere judged to be stronger than Whites. These findings

102

contribute to our understanding of the pervasiveness of physicalstereotypes of Black Americans, even those who are young. POSTER 17 AGE BIAS IN THE AGE ESTIMATION OF YOUNG,MIDDLE-AGE, AND OLDER ADULTS HANNAH BENZ, HAILEY SCHERER, GUSTAVO RODRIGUEZ,JENESSA STEELE (RADFORD UNIVERSITY) The current study used a within-subjects study design todetermine age bias when estimating the age of photos of malecelebrities representing three different age groups (young adult,middle-aged adult, and older adult). A repeated-measuresanalysis of variance found significant differences in ageestimations, such that estimation errors were greatest for theolder and middle-aged celebrity photos. For all age conditions,mean age estimations were lower than actual, chronological age. POSTER 18 AGE-RELATED MEMES ON SOCIAL MEDIA BIANCA ALVAREZ, SYDNEY KMETZ, MEGAN LATTE,JESUCA MAURICE, JACKLYN RAMOS-ARVELO, PATRICIAKAHLBAUGH (SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT STATEUNIVERSITY) The present archival research investigated 3000 memes andhashtags (#grandpa, #grandma, #grayhair, #seniormoment,#boomerremover) on Social media platforms (Twitter, Instagram,TikTok) created for old and young users. Although ageist memeswere rare, the greatest frequency of ageism was found on theolder Instagram account. TikTok had the most ageist hashtagposts, particularly under #seniormoment, #boomerremover and#grayhair. Ageism permeates many facets of our culture, makinginvestigations of ageism on social media relevant. POSTER 19 INTEGRATIVE REVIEW OF THE CULTURAL VARIATION INSUBJECTIVE WELL-BEING OF OLDER ADULTS AKANKSHA VIDALA, MANSI BHARGAVA, ELIZABETH KIM,REBECCA KLEIN (THE COLLEGE OF NEW JERSEY) We conduct an integrative review that considers the universalsand cultural specifics of successful aging and happiness of olderadults. In reviewing over 120 articles on happiness and aging,we find that while universals -- such as physical and mentalfunctioning -- exist, so do multiple cultural variations. Variationsinclude spirituality, financial security, family relationships, andmore. We also find that emic approaches provide greaterunderstanding of the nuances in the POSTER 20 RELIGION AND DISADVANTAGE: REJECTION OF SYSTEMJUSTIFICATION IN BLACK CHURCH MEMBERS JACOB SHOBE, ROBERT FOELS (RUTGERS UNIVERSITY) System justification theory states that people are motivated to

support the status quo even when it works against their interests. Disadvantaged groups face conflict and distress if they supportthe status quo. However, religion may serve as a buffer againstthis distress. A large sample of Black persons completedmeasures of system justification and religiosity. Results showedthat religion is not a buffer, because Black persons engage insystem condemnation, POSTER 21 RELIGIOUS FUNDAMENTALISM IN INTERFAITH ANDRELIGIOUS/SECULAR ATTRACTION AMONG CHRISTIANAND JEWISH PARTICIPANTS JACLYN K. DOHERTY (THE GRADUATE CENTER, CUNY),CLAUDIA C. BRUMBAUGH (QUEENS COLLEGE, CUNY) We experimentally explored individual differences that affectreligious homogamy and romantic attraction. Christian andJewish participants viewed three dating profiles (Christian,Jewish, and N/A). Participants were most attracted to same-faithtargets, and this effect was stronger among high-fundamentalists.Meanwhile, low-fundamentalist Christians were most attracted tounaffiliated targets, and low-fundamentalist Jewish participantshad no preference. These findings lend insight to the growingfrequency of interfaith and religious/secular couples, despitegeneral preferences for religious homogamy. POSTER 22 PLURALISTIC IGNORANCE IN ATTITUDES TOWARDATHEISTS: THE MODERATING ROLE OF RELIGIOSITY JEFFERY ASPELMEIER, TIANGE DAI, PHOEBE DUBOIS,HAILEY SCHERER, MIA PURCELL, RHYS LAFON, HAYLEYGROSSMAN, THOMAS PIERCE, NICOLE IANNONE(RADFORD UNIVERSITY) The present study tests whether pluralistic ignorance (PI) withinattitudes toward atheists is moderated by religiosity. A sample of136 college students completed positive attitudes, negativeattitudes, and positive behavioral attentions regarding atheists aswell as a religiosity measure. PI within atheist attitudes wasmoderated by religiosity. Less religious participants expectedother college students to hold more negative attitudes andbehavioral intentions about atheists than themselves. Morereligious participants held more negative attitudes about atheists. POSTER 23 THE EFFECT OF SELF-DEPRECATING HUMOR ABOUTWEIGHT ON ANTI-FAT ATTITUDES MATTHEW GERSON, NANCY DORR (THE COLLEGE OFSAINT ROSE) Investigated the effects of self-deprecating humor on anti-fatattitudes and beliefs of controllability of weight. Undergraduateswere randomly assigned to watch one of four comedy routines(self-deprecating about weight, self-deprecating somethingbesides weight, other-deprecating about weight,other-deprecating something besides weight. Participantscompleted self-report scales assessing moderators anddependent variables. Results showed right-wing authoritarianism

103

and social dominance orientation scores moderated the effect ofhumor about weight on beliefs that weight is a function ofwillpower. POSTER 24 INSTITUTIONAL TRUST PREDICTS INTERGROUPCOOPERATION NICK UNGSON, MADELYN CORRELLUS, JOHNNIE BRYANT(SUSQUEHANNA UNIVERSITY) Shared group membership provides an instrumental incentive topreferentially affiliate with ingroup over outgroup members. Weargue that effective social institutions (e.g., government, legalsystem) can serve as alternative cooperative affordances; that is,people will display less ingroup bias when they trust thatinstitutions will promote intergroup cooperation. Archival analysis(Study 1, N = 919) and an online survey (Study 2, N = 309) showthat institutional trust negatively predicted ingroup bias in WhiteAmericans. POSTER 25 NATURALNESS BIAS AND MINDSET MICHAEL ROY, JOCELYN KOSIC, MARGARET HARBORD,CARLY PATTERSON, HOPE MCQUIOD, VINCENTGAMBELUNGHE (ELIZABETHTOWN COLLEGE) We examined the effect of mindset – fixed or growth – and thenaturalness bias - the tendency to prefer people who seem tocome by their talent naturally and not through work or effort - onauthor preference. Results indicate that people that were inducedto have a fixed mindset supplied higher ratings for all subsequentessays regardless of how the author was described. POSTER 26 DIAGNOSTICITY AS A MODERATOR OF IMPLICITSTEREOTYPES IN PERSON PERCEPTION HANNAH UCHE, EMILY HOFMANN, RACHEL RUBINSTEIN(TOWSON UNIVERSITY) We investigated whether the effect of individuating information onimplicit racial stereotypes is moderated by the diagnosticity ofindividuating information. We assessed differences in stereotypeImplicit Association Test (IAT) scores in the presence ofindividuating information varying in diagnosticity. Results showedthat highly diagnostic information reduced implicit stereotyping toan equal extent as did somewhat diagnostic information; thus,diagnosticity of individuating information did not moderate implicitstereotyping, but results supported the malleability of implicitstereotypes. POSTER 27 THE INFLUENCE OF INDIVIDUATING INFORMATION ANDLAY THEORY ON IMPLICIT STEREOTYPES MADELYN MARSHALL, RACHEL RUBINSTEIN (TOWSONUNIVERSITY)

The present research analyzed the effect of lay theory ofpersonality on the extent to which individuals rely on stereotypesor relevant social information in implicit person perception. Bothsomewhat and highly relevant individuating information reducedimplicit stereotyping, but lay theory did not predict implicitstereotyping, nor did it moderate the effect of individuatinginformation on implicit stereotyping. Results are interpreted in thecontext of fast and slow learning perspectives of social cognition. POSTER 28 DOES THE PUNISHMENT FIT THE BIAS? LAYPERCEPTIONS OF DISCRIMINATION CONSEQUENCES CHRISTINA AMARI, STEFANIE SIMON (SIENA COLLEGE) This study examined people’s perceptions of consequences forracial discrimination. The perpetrator’s racial bias malleability andintent to discriminate were factors investigated that wouldinfluence perceptions. Those who believed the perpetrator actedintentionally wanted to punish the perpetrator and help the victim,whereas participants who believed that the perpetrator couldchange their racial bias wanted to give the perpetrator anotherchance and have them attend an anti-bias training. These factorsinfluence perceptions of appropriate consequences. POSTER 29 BOREDOM AND MORAL JUDGMENTS SOPHIA MULLENS, MCWELLING TODMAN, EMILY WEISS,REBECCA BUNN, ÖZGE PAZAR, ISABEL GLUSMAN, SALLYMCHUGH, ELIANA LEGELEN (THE NEW SCHOOL FORSOCIAL RESEARCH) Reidy (2019) examined the role of state and trait boredom inmoral judgments. Participants with a high propensity for boredomwere, in general, more likely to rate crimes as less severe, andless likely to assign importance to some domains of morality.This study aims to replicate these results and includes severaladditional measures of boredom and moral decision-making.Preliminary results among a small sample of MTurk workerssuggest trends in the opposite direction. POSTER 30 VICTIM BLAME AS A FUNCTION OF CRIME TYPE ANDATTRIBUTIONAL COMPLEXITY PHILIP HAN, ROB FOELS (RUTGERS UNIVERSITY) Blaming a victim may or may not be more unique for the crime ofrape than for other crimes. We examined this question andincluded attributional complexity as a predictor of victim blame.Attributional complexity is the extent to which behavior isexplained multidimensionally, by using situational and societalvariables, not simply personality. Results showed that rapevictims are blamed more, but that attributional complexityreduces rape myth acceptance and victim blame. POSTER 31 JUDGEMENT OF COLLEGE SEXUAL ASSAULT SURVIVORSBASED ON REPUTATION AND ASSAULT LOCATION

104

JULIA ETTERE, KIMBERLY FAIRCHILD (MANHATTANCOLLEGE) The purpose of this study was to explore perceptions of survivorsof sexual assault as deserving and needing of support whenreputation and location of assault is manipulated. Although not allresults were significant, data trends in the direction that suggeststhese variables do affect perception of survivors. Both thefindings and the limitations of this study bring up importantresearch questions to explore in future studies. POSTER 32 A SOCIETY DRESSED IN SEXISM: EFFECTS OF RAPE TYPEON BLAME MERCEDEZ BIRNIE, JOHN SCHWOEBEL (UTICA COLLEGE) Participants read a stranger or an acquaintance rape vignetteand responded to questions concerning victim and perpetratorblame, rape myth acceptance, and sexism. We observed greatervictim blaming in the acquaintance than the stranger conditionand greater perpetrator blaming in the stranger than theacquaintance condition. Both victim and perpetrator blame werepredicted by rape myth and sexist beliefs. Results suggestimplications for understanding the underreporting of rape and alack of accountability for perpetrators. POSTER 33 THE ROLES OF VICTIM RACE AND PRESENCE OF AWEAPON FOLAKE OLOWU, JENNIFER RATCLIFF (SUNY BROCKPORT) Work on bystander reactions to police violence as a function ofvictim race focuses on male victims. This study instead examinedthe reaction to a deadly police interaction with a woman. Resultsshow that only presence of a weapon, but not victim raceincreased justification for the use of deadly force and victimblaming. Explanations for distinct reactions to female victims areexamined. POSTER 34 ATTITUDES OF THE PUBLIC TOWARD THE CRIMINALJUSTICE SYSTEM & OFFENDERS MACKENZIE CREIGHTON, WILLIAM JELLISON (QUINNIPIACUNIVERSITY) Across two studies, we sought to examine the general public’sattitudes toward criminal offenders and the criminal justicesystem, along with factors that may be associated with theseattitudes. A self-report questionnaire assessed the followingfactors: political ideologies, social dominance, prior victimization/safety concerns, experience with the criminal justice system, andattitudes toward race. All factors were correlated with attitudestowards offenders and the system as a whole. Implications forpublic policy are discussed. POSTER 35

MEASURING BEHAVIORAL INTENTIONS TOWARDSINDIVIDUALS CONVICTED OF FELONIES JORDAN LANKFORD, BRONWYN HUNTER (UNIVERSITY OFMARYLAND BALTIMORE COUNTY), CHRISTOPHERBEASLEY (UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON TACOMA) Psychometric scales measuring behavioral intentions towardsthose convicted of a felony are scarce. A total of 196undergraduate students from a large Midwestern privateuniversity completed an initial pool of 11 items. The final factorstructure resulted in 10 items loading onto two subscales:Interpersonal Relations and Policy Support. Further researchshould aim to confirm this factor structure, as well as to examinethe relationships between explicit attitudes and behavioralintentions. POSTER 36 CRISIS AT THE SOUTHERN BORDER KOEBE DIAZ, JESSICA NOLAN (UNIVERSITY OF SCRANTON) The current study examines how the rhetoric of authority figuresinfluences the feeling of empathy in executants. Participantswere asked to read a memo, a scenario, and answer severalquestions, the memos were randomly assigned: neutral, positive,or negative rhetoric on immigration. Results showed thatparticipants who read a memo that conveyed positive rhetoricshowed the highest levels of empathy for a fictitious detainee. Connection to the dehumanizing effects of anti-immigrant rhetoricis discussed. POSTER 37 SITUATION-DRIVEN JUDGMENTS OF USE OF FORCE BYPOLICE OFFICERS LOGAN ALBRECHT, NATHAN GREENAUER (THEPENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY, BERKS) Issues related to police brutality and racial profiling are areas ofnational concern (Carney, 2016), with increasing attentionfocused on systemic racism and violent practices. In twoexperiments, we assess factors that influence the perceivedappropriateness of use of force by a police officer. Resultsindicated that crime type may influence the perceivedappropriateness of police officers’ conduct. The influence ofindividual differences and prior experience with law enforcementare also discussed. POSTER 38 CONSERVATIVE IDEOLOGY AND MORAL SANCTITYPREDICT PREJUDICE WHEN LOW ATTRIBUTIONALCOMPLEXITY NICHOLAS ZAMBROTTA, ROB FOELS (RUTGERSUNIVERSITY–NEW BRUNSWICK) This study examines the link between moral foundations andprejudice. 177 participants completed surveys including moralfoundations, prejudice, and attributional complexity. Bindingversus individual morality was predicted by higher conservatism,

105

and lower attributional complexity. Prejudice was predicted bybinding morality and higher conservatism. When attributionalcomplexity was entered into the model, it was the only predictorof prejudice. The results suggest that conservative foundations ofmorality involve low levels of. POSTER 39 DIFFERENTIAL EVIDENCE THRESHOLDS RESULTINGFROM PARTISAN BIAS TING HUANG, GEOFF MUNRO (TOWSON UNIVERSITY) Using the quantity of processing model, the present study testedhow many scientific studies participants needed to read beforereaching a conclusion. The participants read studies that either 1)matched or mismatched their political views and 2) findings were100% or 83% consistent. The study results showed thatparticipants reading matched or consistent studies required fewerarticles to arrive at a conclusion, but there was no interactionbetween the Match and Consistency factors. POSTER 40 LIKELIHOOD OF HELPING: PARTICIPANT AND TARGETGENDER, EMPATHY, AND COST OF SITUATION SHYAN YAHNER-GOLBY, JOSIE KNOPSNYDER, ADAMPETROVICH, EMILY TAYLOR (SAINT VINCENT COLLEGE) The effects of target gender and cost of situation on likelihood ofhelping was examined and if it varied by participant gender andtheir empathy level. 170 participants read 16 helping scenariosand reported their likelihood of helping for each. They thenresponded to the Basic Empathy Scale. There was a significanteffect of cost of situation and target gender. There was asignificant interaction of participant gender and empathy. POSTER 41 COMPARISONS IN TIMES OF CRISIS: DOWNWARD SOCIALCOMPARISONS LEAD TO PROSOCIAL SUPPORT GABRIELA RIVERA, MAGGIE R. ALBRIGHT-PIERCE, SHANACOLE (RUTGERS UNIVERSITY- NEW BRUNSWICK) Using an experimental design, we tested the affective andbehavioral consequences of comparing one’s own COVID-19related challenges to others’. Results suggest downward (vs.upward) comparisons elicited positive emotions (i.e., luck,gratitude, and empathy), which, in turn, led to increased prosocialbehavior in the form of financial donations and emotional support.These findings highlight the beneficial effects of downwardcomparisons during times of stress and uncertainty. POSTER 42 FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY SARAH RICHTER, DELANIE FICO, ERIKA WELLS (BOSTONUNIVERSITY) The current study investigates hypergamy, specifically how apotential partner’s socioeconomic status (SES) affects a

participant’s willingness to continue the relationship based on theparticipant’s gender, the proposed relationship duration, and theparticipant’s own SES. The study included 278 participants,recruited through Amazon MTURK and collected via Qualtrics.The results yielded support for hypergamous trends. Specifically,participants with lower SES exhibited greater hypergamy asdemonstrated as more willingness to date partners of higherSES. POSTER 43 NATIONALISM AND ATTITUDES TOWARD CLIMATECHANGE: TESTING A SOLUTION AVERSION HYPOTHESIS MARK WALTER, GABRIELLE ATKINSON, MACKENZIENICKLE, ALISON WEEG, JUSTIN LAZZARINO (SALISBURYUNIVERSITY) We examined attitudes toward climate change as a function ofparticipant’s level of nationalism and the type of climate changesolution (strengthened America vs. weakened America) that theyread. It was hypothesized that low nationalists would believe inclimate change regardless of the offered solution, but that highnationalists would only believe in climate change if the solutionbenefitted America. Although this interaction was not supported,the results provide insight into climate change attitudes. POSTER 44 CHILDBEARING DECISIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF CLIMATECHANGE FRANKLIN AUCAPINA (HUNTER COLLEGE, CITYUNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK), JENNA TIPALDO, SUSANAHERNANDEZ, MINDY ENGLE-FRIEDMAN (BARUCHCOLLEGE, CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK) 126 NYC residents were recruited via Amazon Mechanical Turk(MTurk). They completed a questionnaire investigating attitudesregarding climate change and its impact on childbearingdecisions. 14.3% reported they will have fewer children becauseof climate change and 12% said they have thought about havingfewer because of the changing climate but remain unsure POSTER 45 ECONOMIC STATUS WITH E-WASTE: LETTING-GODEPENDS ON INCOME? ALYSSA T. ALTIERI, HELENA L. SWANSON, JOSEPH R.FERRARI (DEPAUL UNIVERSITY) Retention rate of electronic waste within the home is of greatinterest as electronic use becomes increasingly morefundamental within our lives. This study explores the factors thatinfluence the decision to keep “e-waste” in one’s possession asopposed to recycling or otherwise ridding our space of unusedtechnology with 930 adults. Results indicated factors predictingwaste retention include knowledge of e-waste’s environmentalimpact and personal norms; these factors also differed based onincome. POSTER 46

ATTITUDES TOWARD PROTECTING ENDANGEREDSPECIES: THE IMPACT OF PERCEIVED PHYSICALATTRACTIVENESS RICHARD HARNISH, YANUO ZHOU, JAMISON NEE, KALINABOSHKOVSKA, JOY KRUMENACKER (PENN STATEUNIVERSITY) We examined whether perceived physical attractiveness of aspecies impacted attitudes toward protecting the species.

Results indicated that the Dead Leaf Butterfly received moreprotection among participants who viewed the butterfly with itswings open than when closed.

Additionally, we observed an interaction effect such thatpolitically conservatives expressed as much support for thephysically attractive view of the butterfly as compared to politicalliberals when viewed with its wings closed (i.e., unattractiveview). POSTER 47 IMPLICIT VERSUS EXPLICIT ANTHROPOMORPHIZATIONDEPENDS ON TARGET AND REFERENCE DENNIS POEPSEL, SHANNON LUPIEN, LEAH MAY (DAEMENCOLLEGE) The current study tested whether targets that vary in animacy, aswell as one’s person/thing orientation, differentially predictegocentric vs. homocentric anthropomorphization. Personorientation did not predict anthropomorphization for animate-liketargets, but having greater person orientation may provide theability to see human-like traits in an inanimate target. POSTER 48 LOCUS OF CONTROL SHIFTS DISGUST IN HUMAN VSANIMAL MORAL DILEMMAS XINRU WANG, KIMBERLY FAIRCHILD (MANHATTANCOLLEGE) Previous studies have focused on how humans react to moraldilemmas in the context of human subjects. However, littleresearch has cross-examined human and non-human subjects inmoral quandaries. The purpose of this study was to investigateelements that may explain the cause for the emotional responsesthat occur when individuals make judgments under moralsettings. Results showed that the situation itself had moreinfluence on emotional reaction than the subjects within thesituation. POSTER 49 DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW FRAMEWORK FOR IDENTIFYINGINTERDEPENDENCE DILEMMA RESOLUTION STRATEGIES ANDRE BISIMWA, DERRICK A. BURNETTE, CHLOE E.MICKELSON, HANNAH M. WASHBURN, GAVIN STEWART,ALEJANDRO M FERNANDEZ Y MORA, KAYLA M. BINNS,BRIAN C. PATRICK (GOUCHER COLLEGE)

This study used Deci’s Self-Determination Theory as aframework to categorize different types of strategies taken inresponse to conflicts of self-interest in relationships, or whatRusbult et al. (2004) called interdependence dilemmas.Participants were asked to respond to hypotheticalinterdependence dilemma scenarios which were coded into fivemajor categories of strategies: Avoidance, RelationshipRestructuring, Autonomous Synthesis, Self-Preferencing, andSelf-Silencing. These categories were then framed in terms ofsatisfaction of autonomy and relatedness needs. POSTER 50 THE EFFECT OF NORMATIVE AND INFORMATIONALSOCIAL INFLUENCE ON COMPULSIVE BUYING RICHARD HARNISH (PENN STATE UNIVERSITY), ZACHARYGASKELL, KYLIE MEYER (PENN STATE UNIVERSITY - NEWKENSINGTON CAMPUS), CATHERINE ROSTER (UNIVERSITYOF NEW MEXICO), FREDERICK J. SLACK (INDIANAUNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA) The goal of the study examine how e-WOM in the form of aproduct review relates to compulsive buying. Results suggested that there was no difference in compulsivebuyers’ rating of either the image-oriented or product-orientedreviews. We discuss why compulsive buyers may not beimpacted by e-WOM. POSTER 51 “FRIENDS IN LOW PLACES”: HOW PEERS MOTIVATECOLLEGE DRINKING BEHAVIORS EVAN STOCK, WILLIAM JELLISON (QUINNIPIACUNIVERSITY) Drinking among college students can be explained by theirperceptions of their peers’ behavior. Participants completed asurvey of drinking behavior, motives, and group norms amongthree peer groups (close friends, typical students, and generalstudents). Our results showed close friends and students at theirschool were most influential for injunctive norms, but generaluniversity students were more influential for descriptive norms.Implications for university drinking culture are discussed.

5:00pm - 5:15pm THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN CENTRAL HUMANCAPABILITIES AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING

107

STEVEN M. SPECHT, CHRISTOPHER M. MARLEAU, SYDNEYA. PRZYGODA (UTICA COLLEGE) For each of four consecutive semesters (commencing in the fall2019), participants completed a 95-item survey which includedthe Psychological Well-Being Scales developed by Ryff andSinger (2008), and items for participants to rate the “importance”of 20 “central human capabilities” (Nussbaum, 2011), and toindicate at what level they were currently realizing thosecapabilities. The findings indicated that the closer participantswere to realizing various capabilities, the higher their levels ofpsychological well-being. 5:20pm - 5:35pm THE INFLUENCE OF THE TOUGHNESS NORM ON THEWILLINGNESS TO SEEK RYAN OLOUGHLIN, COURTNEY FORBES (NAZARETHCOLLEGE) This investigation explored the relation of the toughness norm onwillingness to seek treatment for depression. 142 MTurk usersreported levels of toughness, read vignettes describingdepression symptoms, and indicated willingness to seek care. People’s interest to wait and see was associated with greatertoughness. This relation was moderated by sex. Womenshowed no relation between toughness and wait and see whilemen higher on toughness showed a greater interest. 5:40pm - 5:55pm DOES HARDINESS CONTRIBUTE TO RESILIENCY IN THELGBTQ+ COMMUNITY ANDREW O'MEARA (STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK ATNEW PALTZ), CLAIRE STARRS (MCGILL UNIVERSITY) Minority stress (Meyer, 2003) is often named as a cause formental health disparities among LGBTQ+ individuals. Studiesidentifying community specific strengths to counter this effect areessential. Thus, the present study examined whether personalhardiness constituted such a resiliency factor. Results showedthat hardiness buffered minority stress, leading to more generalflourishing but not less depressed or anxious symptoms,suggesting that hardiness may contribute to long-term resiliencybut not acute distress relief. 6:00pm - 6:15pm FLOURISHING ON THE AUTISM SPECTRUM CATHERINE CALDWELL-HARRIS, TIFFANY MCGLOWAN,KATHERINE BEITIA (BOSTON UNIVERSITY) The strength-based perspective investigates what helps personswith autism succeed. To draw on authentic experiences,thematic analysis was used to analyze online forums. Workplacesuccess involved drawing on autistic "superpowers" such ascultivating a special interest or talent. The other was to flipconventional workplace negatives into positives. Instead of being"asocial, aloof," posters described their strength as "self-reliant";not tactful was recast as "honest." Employers could benefit.

POSTER 1 LGB+ EMERGING ADULTS ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPNARRATIVES: GENERALITIES & PARTICULARITIES EMILY MCMAHON, CANDICE FEIRING, ZACHARY GALL (THECOLLEGE OF NEW JERSEY) We used narratives to understand the romantic relationshipexperiences of 40 LGB+ emerging adults. Positive experiencesconcerned partner support for coming/being out and support fromfamily for the relationship. Negative experiences concerned howbeing at different levels of outness and problems with familysupport stressed the relationship. Our findings show thestrengths and challenges of LGB+ emerging adult romanticrelationships and highlight the importance of developing culturallysensitive relationship education programs for this age group. POSTER 2 ROMANTIC NARRATIVES ABOUT STRESS & STRATEGIESDEALING WITH COVID-19 JESSICA O'DELL, ALYNA STRUMOLO, JOSE CANCEL, FAITHCORTRIGHT, CANDICE FEIRING (THE COLLEGE OF NEWJERSEY) Using narratives, this study examined how 48 emerging adultsmade sense of changes in their romantic relationships associatedwith COVID-19. Covid-19 as a negative stress to the relationshipcategory had more themes mentioned (7) than positive (4) orstrategy (5) categories. However, the most common positive andstrategy themes were mentioned more frequently (becomingcloser through intimacy/support, 77.1%; using media/technologyto stay connected, 70.8%), compared to the most commonnegative theme (more conflict/stress, 47.9%). POSTER 3 MINDFULNESS AND ATTACHMENT STYLE BROOKE RUTH, TORU SATO, ASHLEY SEIBERT(SHIPPENSBURG UNIVERSITY) The present study examined the relationships betweenmindfulness and attachment styles using a set of measurementinstruments never used before on participants in the UnitedStates. The Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (Brown & Ryan,2003) and Attachment Style Questionnaire (Feeney, Noller, &Hanrahan, 1994) were completed by 144 undergraduateuniversity students. As hypothesized, mindfulness was positivelycorrelated with levels of secure attachment and negativelycorrelated with levels of both insecure ambivalent and insecureattachment. POSTER 4 NEUROBEHAVIORAL PTSD MODEL IN INFANT RATSINDUCED BY EARLY-LIFE HARSH CARE ISLAM AHMED, ROSEANNA ZANCA (NEW YORKUNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE), JANELLE CANGE,CHRISTA AMOIA, REGINA SULLIVAN (NEW YORK

UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE) We model PTSD and nucleus accumbens (NA) in infant rats,focusing on age-specific PTSD in children. First, early-lifemaltreatment gives a vulnerability to PTSD. Second, infantsexpress PTSD within attachment. Here, we use postnatal(PN)8-12 early-life maltreatment and fear condition PN14 and 18rats with and without mother. Results show the mother reducesthe NA, but not in maltreated pups. This suggests maltreatmenthas impaired the pups’ abilities to use maternal presence toactivate reward. POSTER 5 TEACHING ADAPTIVE COPING DURING A PANDEMIC: FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH PARENT SUGGESTIONS ALEXANDRA EAGER, SARAH BRAMMELL, CLAIREHENDERSON, LAINEE SWANSON, SARAH STANGER(ALLEGHENY COLLEGE) This study explored the relationship between parent socializationof coping strategies, mindful parenting, parent psychologicalflexibility, and parent depressive symptoms during COVID-19. Asample of 204 parents of 8- to 12-year-old children wererecruited on MTurk in August 2020. Greater parental flexibilityand mindfulness and fewer depressive symptoms wereassociated with greater engagement suggestions and fewerdisengagement suggestions. These findings suggest thatcontextual behavioral factors and parent depression mayinfluence how parents socialize child coping. POSTER 6 ADDING A PANDEMIC: STRESS AND PARENTINGCHILDREN WITH AUTISM DURING COVID-19 AMY LEARMONTH, JORDYN YESHION, SOPHIE GRITSCH,CHRISTINA LAGOMARSINO, KELLY LENNON, ALEXANDRAROMAN (WILLIAM PATERSON UNIVERSITY) Parents of children with autism show higher rates of parentingstress correlated with behavioral symptoms in their children.Using an online survey, we explored pandemic effects on therelationship between parenting stress and autism symptoms.Hypotheses predicted pandemic stress would show differentrelationships to child symptoms, such that cognitive and socialsymptoms would join behavioral symptoms as correlates.Findings indicate a complex picture of pandemic stress showinga different relationship to symptoms than parenting stress. POSTER 7 EMERGENT NEEDS IN TRAINING NEEDS REPORTED BYSTAFF AT FAMILY EMERGENCY SHELTERS VICTORIA RICCELLI (VILLANOVA UNIVERSITY), TARIERE C.TEBEPAH, MCKENNA HALVERSON, LAURA E. WALLACE,JANETTE HERBERS (VILLANOVA UNIVERSITY) A high proportion of providers do not receive formal trainingregarding family and child development (Sznajder-Murray &Slesnick, 2011), therefore implementing educational initiatives toenhance knowledge among shelter staff may improve staffs’

109

ability to provide developmentally appropriate care and advocatefor the children and families they serve. In this project, we aimedto understand the questions about early childhood developmentmost often reported by shelter staff to evaluate gaps in trainingneeds to support families. POSTER 8 FAMILIAL TIES IN RETIREMENT: WHEN THE WORRYMAKES ME GO HOME EMMA BEITER, HELEN KISO (SUSQUEHANNA UNIVERSITY),JOSE COLLAZO (CALIFORNIA STATE POLYTECHNICUNIVERSITY, POMONA), MAYRA AVILA (UNIVERSITY OFTEXAS AT RIO GRANDE VALLEY) In this quantitative study we analyzed how financial andretirement planning worry impacts familial expectations for LatinAmerican immigrants. Through data collected from a surveythrough Qualtrics, we found that higher levels of financial worryand younger retirees significantly affected greater familialexpectations to return to their country of origin. POSTER 9 GRIT: CONNECTIONS TO SELF-ESTEEM, SELF-WORTH,COGNITIVE PROCESSING, AND AGING JULIA GABRIEL, LOU MANZA, MALLORY ANDERSON,SAMANTHA PARADISE, SOPHIA STRANICK, SHELBYANDERSON, AMBER KINTZER (LEBANON VALLEYCOLLEGE) Associations between self-esteem, self-worth, and grit – anddevelopmental trends across these variables – were tested, andwe found high levels of grit correlated with elevated degrees ofboth self-esteem and self-worth, as well as high levels ofmetacognitive awareness and emotional control. Olderparticipants (versus younger) were found to possess significantlyhigher levels of grit, metacognitive awareness, self-esteem, andmore effective habits of mind – but no other age effects wereobserved. POSTER 10 HOW COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS AFFECTED YOUTH’SCAREGIVERS ARIAGNNA ABREU-GARCIA, MARGARET CARADONNA,JOSE VERDIS SALAZAR (ITHACA COLLEGE) In the past 2 years, COVID-19 has affected people’s sense ofnormalcy and tested their endurance. Our study focused oncaregivers of children and how they were affected by COVID-19.Our study included 103 participants from the United States, themajority living in New York, California, and Massachusetts.Participants answered a survey and reported that the COVID-19pandemic experience was challenging and anxiety provoking andthat their children also experienced a hard time. POSTER 11 YOUTH EXPERIENCES DURING COVID-19: A YEAR AFTER

ASHTYN HECKART, CAROLINE MANNION, ONASSISCABRERA, ADRYANA COLLADO (ITHACA COLLEGE) This study focuses on the experiences and feelings of 103 9 to12 years-old youth during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participantscompleted an online survey. Although some youth experiencednegative feelings due to the pandemic, most did not feel that wayoften. Most participants were able to cope with difficult situations.Some of the different coping strategies included exercising andengaging in various activities such as social media. POSTER 12 USING NUMERICAL CARD GAMES TO IMPROVE EARLYNUMERACY IZABELL HEARST, MOST YEASMIN, KATELYN WHETSTONE,VINAYA RAJAN (UNIVERSITY OF THE SCIENCES) Children raised in low-SES households perform worse on tasksrequiring domain-specific skills such as symbolic or verbalsystems of number domains. Additionally, low-SES children alsoexpress weakness in domain-general cognitive processes thatrelate to working memory. In the present study, we examined ifnumeracy can be improved using numerical card games thattrain working memory independently or simultaneous training ofboth working memory and symbolic mapping. POSTER 13 PANDEMIC-RELATED HARDSHIPS AND PSYCHOLOGICALWELL-BEING: COVID-19'S IMPACT ON LOW-INCOMECHILDREN AND FAMILIES NICOLE KINGDON, MOLLY DUBUC, WENDY KENNEDY,ROSEMARIE DIBIASE (SUFFOLK UNIVERSITY) This study surveyed Head Start families with preschool-agedchildren for Covid-19 impacts using a quantitative questionnaire.We examined whether increased material and relationshiphardships impacted parental distress, perceived stress, childdistress, and emotional well-being. Linear regressions werecomputed. Material hardships predicted parental distress(R2=0.191, p<.01), parental perceived stress (R2=0.169, p<.01),and child distress (R2 = 0.156, p<.01). Relationship hardshipspredicted family emotional well-being (R2 =0.263, p<.01).Associations show increased pandemic-related hardships foralready vulnerable families. POSTER 14 WHAT CHILDREN WANT TO KNOW ABOUT: CHILDREN’SINTEREST IN COMPLEX PHENOMENA WHITNEY SANDFORD, SUSAN ENGEL (WILLIAMS COLLEGE) Young children express curiosity about novel events that crop upin everyday life. However, close observation suggests that, bythe time they are four years old, children are also curious aboutcomplex and often abstract puzzles. The present study usesparental report data to examine 4- to 7-year-old children’ssustained lines of inquiry, which we term “Intellectual Projects”.The data show that most children pursue intellectual projectssuch as the afterlife, extinction, and reproduction.

POSTER 15 CHILDHOOD FEAR OF ANIMALS: THE ROLE OF INDIVIDUALAND PARENTAL CHARACTERISTICS MEGAN CONRAD, RAGHAD HASSABELNABY, GENESISVILLALBA, VICTORIA MULLIGAN, HEIDY MONTES, JENEENSUIAFAN, JORDYNN JONES, TRICIA CALABRESE (WILLIAMPATERSON UNIVERSITY) A fear of snakes is among the most common fears for bothchildren and adults. However, only a few studies to date haveexamined the way fear develops in natural settings. The currentstudy observed parent-child storybook reading about threateningand non-threatening animals, coding their language use for bothpositive and negative statements. Children’s behavioral andverbal fear was also related to individual differences, includinggeneral child anxiety, parent animal fear, and behavioralimpulsivity. POSTER 16 SOCIAL MEDIA USE AND STRESS IN EMERGING ADULTS HOLLY CHALK, PATRICIA DIXON (MCDANIEL COLLEGE) The present study examined the relationship between socialmedia use and stress in college students via online survey. Ashypothesized, perceived stress was positively related to socialmedia intrusion, addiction, and stress. Unexpectedly, perceivedstress was not related to frequency of social media use orpassive social media use. Group differences emerged based ongender and race. POSTER 17 COGNITIVE FLEXIBILITY AND FRONTAL EEG ACTIVATION:SECONDARY DATA ANALYSIS ON MATHEMATICALABILITIES MADELEINE MARTINELLI, VINAYA RAJAN (UNIVERSITY OFTHE SCIENCES) Our present study examines cognitive flexibility and mathematicalskills in 6-year-olds, and explored if failing scores on theDimensional Change Card Sort task exhibited a lowerperformance. Cognitive flexibility and mathematical abilities weremeasured through three Woodcock Johnson III Test ofAchievement subtests and frontal EEG composite correlations.Results exhibit significant findings in which greater performancewith passing scores and frontal EEG activation. POSTER 18 UNDERSTANDING YOUNG PEOPLE'S ENGAGEMENT WITHNEWTOWN CREEK FIRDEVS GURSOY, ERIKA NIWA (CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEWYORK, THE GRADUATE CENTER) Research highlights how young people’s engagement in theircommunities can lead to increases in youth’s belief in theirabilities to be social change agents (Tamanas, 2010). Therefore,

it is critical to explore how youth make meaning of whatcommunity is for them. Through semi-structured in-depthinterviews, this study examined young people’s perceptions inand around Newtown Creek, a highly contaminatedenvironmental site in New York City that is a high priority targetfor restoration. POSTER 19 EXPLORING PARENT-CHILD INTERACTIONS DURINGNATURAL SPATIAL PLAY NICOLE OPPENHEIMER, AMANDA CAPRIGLIONE, STEFANIMORGAN, HANNAH MACIEJEWSKI, ANJALI BADRINATH,AMY JOH (SETON HALL UNIVERSITY) Working together with a parent creates an environment in whichchildren can practice emerging skills. Working together isparticularly beneficial for spatial skills, which develop over thefirst years of life. Most studies have focused on parent-childinteractions in experimental settings, which may not representhow learning occurs at home informally. Therefore, usingarchived video data, this study explored how parents andchildren interact when working together in a more naturalenvironment. POSTER 20 EFFECTS OF COVID-19 ON COLLEGE STUDENTS'ACADEMIC SUCCESS DIANE C. PLACIDE, SARAH TURNER, JANE NAM,SAMANTHA H. GALCZYK, JENIFFER KHORDANDIAN, SUSANSONNENSCHEIN (UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, BALTIMORECOUNTY) What are negative and positive predictors of marginalized(students of color) and non-marginalized (White) college studentsGPAs during fall, 2020? Do the levels of supportive and stressfulfactors differ for these two groups? Students attending a mid-sizeuniversity completed an online survey in spring, 2021. Financialand emotional stressors were significant negative predictors, withsome differences across groups. These factors, GPA, and thereported amount of school support differed for the two groups ofstudents. POSTER 21 MITIGATING EFFECTS OF ADVERSE CHILDHOODEXPERIENCES BY INCREASING TEACHERS'SELF-EFFICACY LISA FIORE (LESLEY UNIVERSITY) Research has identified correlations between early childhoodexperiences and later life outcomes, particularly trajectories thatcontribute to generations of economic, mental, and physicaladversity when adults report high levels of adverse childhoodexperiences. This study invited undergraduate students inteacher education programs to participate in modules thatincrease awareness about child homelessness, parentingresilience, and health-focused curriculum that, in turn, increasedtheir own self-efficacy as educators, advocates, and activists withchildren and families.

POSTER 22 MATERNAL PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH IN RELATION TOCHILDREN’S EMOTION ADJUSTMENT DURING THEPANDEMIC YIHUI GONG, XIN FENG (THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY) The present study aims to investigate the relations betweenmaternal psychological health, before and after the pandemic,and children's emotional adjustment following the COVID-19outbreak. A sample of 76 mother-child dyads was recruited whenchildren were 3.5-4.0 years old. Results indicated that maternaldeclined psychological wellbeing was positively related tochildren's negative emotional reactions towards the COVID-19outbreak. The findings underscore the importance of maternalpsychological health for children’s emotional adjustment duringCOVID-19.

POSTER 30 GETTING READY TO LEARN: THE ROLE OF AGITATIONLEVEL ON CHILDREN’S LEARNING REGAN BENTON, AMAR HAMAD, RHYANNON BEMIS(SALISBURY UNIVERSITY) Thirty-three children (ages 4-9 years) completed a studyinvestigating how level of arousal impacts memories of learning.Children were divided into two conditions, one that did tenjumping jacks before learning and one that did nothing. Childrenthen watched a pre-recorded event and answered open-endedand dichotomous questions about their learning. Resultsindicated that older children could more accurately recall thefacts they learned and how they learned them. There was noimpact of condition. POSTER 31 THE PREDICTORS OF ACADEMIC SUCCESS FOR FIRSTAND CONTINUING GENERATION COLLEGE STUDENTS NEDA MOINOLMOLKI (ALBERTUS MAGNUS COLLEGE),AURORA RAMOS NUÑEZ, LAURA LYNCH, CAILÍN NOBLE,CLAIRE HUGHES (COLLEGE OF COASTAL GEORGIA) This longitudinal study assessed the predictors of collegestudents’ success and how they vary for different generationalstudents. Significant differences were found on interpersonal andindependent self-efficacies, campus involvement, and the deltascores (from start to end of first semester) of perseverance andgraduation confidence. A regression conducted onfirst-generation students revealed that only bringing honor toone’s family contributed to GPA; meanwhile, math growthmindset and belonging uncertainty contributed to continuinggenerations’ GPAs. POSTER 32 PFC RESPONSE TO QUALITY OF MATERNAL CARE ININFANCY

NINA GRAF (NEW YORK UNIVERSITY), REGINA SULLIVAN,ROSEANNA ZANCA (NEW YORK UNIVERSITY LANGONEMEDICAL CENTER) Abusive caregivers impact the infant’s regulation of cognition andemotion. We explore how caregiving quality modulates local fieldpotentials (LFP) in the PFC of pups using a social behavior test.Control pups had decreased in LFP power as they contacted themother while adversity-reared pups did not. Overall, this dataillustrates the robust, temporally dynamic impact of the mother onpups’ brain oscillations, thus impacting a process shown to becritical in guiding brain development. POSTER 33 HOME SWEET HOME? EXAMINING RESIDENTIALINSTABILITY & PRESCHOOLERS’ EARLY MATHEMATICSDEVELOPMENT MARISHA KASHYAP, ROSEANNE FLORES (HUNTERCOLLEGE, CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK) In 2020, approximately 13% of all children under five experiencedresidential instability. Residential instability is known tocompromise the socio-emotional and behavioral development ofyoung children. However, there is limited evidence documentingthe effect of residential instability on preschoolers' cognitiveabilities, in particular the development of mathematical skills.Using data from the 2018 National Survey of Children's Health(NSCH), this study examines young children's early mathematicsknowledge in the context of access to poor housing. POSTER 34 ASIAN AMERICANS ARE PROTECTED FROM EMOTIONDYSREGULATION ASSOCIATED WITH NEGLECTFULPARENTING CATHERINE HU (NEW YORK UNIVERSITY), QINGYI ZHANG(COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY), WILLIAM TSAI (NEW YORKUNIVERSITY) INTRODUCTION.

METHOD. 434 adults(198 Asian, 236 White) completed the Modified Parental BondingInstrument and the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale. RESULTS. A statistically significant interaction was foundbetween parenting style and ethnicity on overall emotiondysregulation and emotional non-acceptance.DISCUSSION. Asian Americans who experience neglectfulparenting may be protected against certain dimensions ofemotion dysregulation. POSTER 35 COMPARISON OF CAREGIVERS’ PERCEPTIONS OFYOUTHS’ EXPERIENCES AND YOUTHS’ ACTUALEXPERIENCES CATHERINE HANEY, DANIEL BATKIN, EMMA BOGDANICH(ITHACA COLLEGE) This study examines the relationship between caregivers

113

perceived experiences with COVID-19 and their levels of anxiety,and how these are related to their children’s (ages 9-18)experiences. Sixty-eight caregiver and their children ages 9-18completed online surveys. Caregivers’ perceptions of theCOVID-19 experience were associated with their children’sexperiencing negative emotions. However, caregivers’ levels ofanxiety related to the COVID-19 pandemic did not relate to howtheir children felt they dealt with difficult situations. POSTER 36 DYADIC PARENT-INFANT INTERACTIONS IN THE CONTEXTOF FAMILY HOMELESS SHELTERS MARISSA MULVEY, RAHMA GORAN, KRISTIN JENNINGS,JANETTE HERBERS (VILLANOVA UNIVERSITY) This study utilized a microanalytic coding approach to describedyadic styles of interaction in a homeless sample andassociations with various factors. Results showed that all parentsand infant codes were significantly associated with child age.Additionally, results indicated that longer time spent in shelter isassociated with lower quality parent-infant interactions, whichcould indicate negative impacts of the shelter environments.These results suggest utility of this coding scheme. POSTER 37 CHANGES IN PERSONAL GOALS FOR COLLEGE-AGEDSTUDENTS BEFORE AND AFTER COVID-19 PRISCILLA G. DIAMOND, AUDREY L. MARKER, TAKERA N.JONES, SYDNEY B. RUCKDESCHEL, KATHRYN M.WESTCOTT (JUNIATA COLLEGE) The study examines the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic ongoal setting for college students.

Using asix-category framework goals based on Salmela-Aro & Nurmi(2007) preliminary analysis showed an increase ineducation-related, travel-related, and personal growth goals anddecreases in career-related and personal relationship goals.Implications will be shared. POSTER 38 INFLUENCE OF LIMBIC REGIONS ON EFFORTFULCONTROL IN CHILDREN ANGELA JI (UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND), TRACY RIGGINS(UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, COLLEGE PARK) Fear and shyness are two of the more influential characteristicsof temperament which research has integrated into onedimension called fearful inhibition. Inhibitory behavior is animportant component of a higher-order temperament constructcalled Effortful Control, most commonly associated with areas ofexecutive functioning. To better understand the emotional-fearrelated influences on inhibitory behavior, this project suggests aninteraction between limbic areas - amygdala and anteriorcingulate cortex - with children’s expression of Effortful Control. POSTER 39

BARRIERS TO COLLEGE: THE ROLE OF SOCIAL SUPPORT CHRISTIANNA R. BARTEL, SARA R. STREET, KATHRYNWESTCOTT (JUNIATA COLLEGE) This study examined perceptions of barriers in college and theirrelationship to levels of social support from family and friendsamong college students.

POSTER 47 CHILDREN’S CONCEPT OF CONFLICTING JUDGMENTSAND FAIRNESS IN AMBIGUOUS MORAL SITUATIONS CHARLOTTE BIRNBAUM, EMILY WASKOW, NADIRAGONDAL, GWYNETH PHILBIN, HALLEY PRICE, BRENDANROBINSON, EMMA SARR, DANIELLE WILLIAMS, KATHERINECHOE (GOUCHER COLLEGE) This study aimed to examine four-to-seven-year-olds’ versusadults’ representation of conflicting states of mind when facedwith moral dilemmas in which intention and outcome wereinconsistent--e.g., intending to help someone but ending uphurting that person, or vice versa. Their understanding of fairnessin resulting consequences for the protagonist was also examined.Adults served as developmental comparisons. The resultsshowed significant differences across conditions and age groups. Implications of the results were further discussed. POSTER 48 A COMPARISON OF EXECUTIVE FUNCTION AND LITERACYIN BILINGUAL AND MONOLINGUAL CHILDREN RAAHI CHAPLA, PURVA ACHARYA, STUTI JOSHI,MUSHARRAF KHAN, VINAYA RAJAN (UNIVERSITY OF THESCIENCES) Bilingualism has been a controversial subject in the U.S.. Manypeople argue it may impede first language skills in children, butprevious research on this has been unclear. Furthermore, therehas been debate as to whether bilingualism has an impact onexecutive functioning in children. The present study aims toclarify the ongoing debate of bilingualism in children byinvestigating the impact of bilingualism on executive functioningand early literacy in preschool-aged children. POSTER 49 THE EFFECT OF SOCIAL COMPARISON ON ANXIETY

115

SYMPTOMS IN LATE ADOLESCENCE: HAILEY BYRNE, STEPHANIE BALLAS, LINDSAY DALY,YAMINI PANT, KIMBERLI TREADWELL (UNIVERSITY OFCONNECTICUT) Upward social comparison is emerging as a predictor of anxietyin adolescents. This association was examined in 50 lateadolescents who completed a 7-day daily-diary report of FoMOand anxiety. Results were evaluated in Multilevel Modeling thatnested daily self-reports (Level 1) within each person (Level 2).Daily FoMO predicted an increase in anxiety on the same day aswell as subsequent days. Findings suggest new avenues formitigating the negative impact of FoMO. POSTER 50 DETERMINANTS OF ADOLESCENT MENTAL HEALTH:ACCESS TO NEIGHBORHOOD SUPPORTS ANDDEPRESSION LOK-YEE LAM, ROSEANNE FLORES (HUNTER COLLEGE,CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK) Neighborhood environments are key determinants of mentalhealth outcomes, and lack of access to support places certainadolescents at a higher risk of depression, where 1 in 3experience related symptoms. Using data from the 2018 NationalSurvey of Children’s Health, this study examines the relationshipamong age, racial disparities, and neighborhood support foradolescents. Results show that Black adolescents with leastaccess to supportive communities present with more severeforms of depression. POSTER 51 COMPUTER VS. PAPER TESTING OF THE WATER LEVELTASK IN 4- SARAH JAMAL SHAH, JESSICA CHARLES, ARIELLEHERSHKOVICH, HAFSA ABID, YINGYING YANG (MONTCLAIRSTATE UNIVERSITY) All past research on Piagetian Water-level tasks has been inpaper format. This study has explored how the differentmodalities had an impact on the performance, with age as acovariate and gender as a between-subject factor. Children ages4-9 years old (N= 43) completed the water-level tasks on acomputerized and then on a paper version. The results indicatedthat there was a significant main effect of modalities whenaccounting for age and gender. POSTER 52 PRESCHOOL EMOTION REGULATION AND ACADEMICREADINESS: BIDIRECTIONAL ASSOCIATIONS ANDMODERATION BY PARENTING KRISTEN E. KIBLER, GRETCHEN R. PERHAMUS, JAMIE M.OSTROV (UNIVERSITY AT BUFFALO) Good emotion regulation (ER) is known to facilitate academicreadiness (e.g., Eisenberg et al., 2010), but less is known aboutthe potential effects of academic readiness on emotion regulation

or moderating roles of parenting. The present study examinedthis in a sample of preschool children at two-time points duringone academic year. Findings supported hypotheses regardingpositive effects of academic readiness on ER, and ER andauthoritative parenting interacted to predict change in academicreadiness. POSTER 53 CHILD-REPORTED TEMPERAMENT PREDICTS OBSERVEDPOSITIVE SIBLING RELATIONSHIPS JORDYN POWELL, THEAH VASQUEZ-O'BRIEN (EASTERNCONNECTICUT STATE UNIVERSITY), ELIZABETHRELLINGER ZETTLER (ILLINOIS COLLEGE) Differences between siblings’ temperaments may predict siblingconflict. This study hypothesized that children lower in activitylevel and higher in inhibitory control would have a more positive,less conflictual relationship, and that differences in siblingtemperament would increase sibling conflict, but not siblingpositivity. Families (N=145) with two children completedlaboratory assessments and questionnaires. Individual levels ofchild-reported inhibitory control predicted sibling positivity. Siblingdifferences may not matter as much as individual siblingcontributions. POSTER 54 IMPACT OF SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS AND HOUSEHOLDCHAOS ON CHILDHOOD EXECUTIVE FUNCTION CHUNG WAI YUE, VINAYA RAJAN (UNIVERSITY OF THESCIENCES) We examined whether characteristics of the home environment(i.e., household chaos) mediate the relation betweensocioeconomic status (SES) and executive function (EF) in asample of 9-year-old children (n = 318). Mediation analysesrevealed that the relation between SES and EF performance wasfully mediated by household chaos, suggesting there are indirecteffects of SES on executive function performance throughchaotic home environments. POSTER 55 PROMOTING INVENTIVE IDENTITY EXPLORATION AMONGADOLESCENT GIRLS AMANI RUSH, AVI KAPLAN (TEMPLE UNIVERSITY), JOANNAGARNER (OLD DOMINION UNIVERSITY), MONICA SMITH,JEFF BRODIE (THE LEMELSON CENTER AT THESMITHSONIAN) This study examined identity processes among early-midadolescent girls as part of an experience designed to promotetheir identity exploration around being inventive. Data werecollected through virtual focus groups where participantsassumed the role of a museum visitor in an exhibition aboutinventiveness in sports.

POSTER 56 HOW DO CHILDREN SEE THEMSELVES? PARENT-CHILDRELATIONS, SELF-PERCEPTION, AND CHILD DEPRESSION MEGANLYN DELANEY, THEAH VASQUEZ-O'BRIEN(EASTERN CONNECTICUT UNIVERSITY), ELIZABETHRELLINGER-ZETTELR (ILLINOIS COLLEGE) More parent positivity to one sibling predicts higher self-esteem(Rolan & Marceau, 2018). We hypothesized that parent-childpositivity would relate to greater child self-perception and fewerdepression symptoms, parent-child negativity would relate to theinverse and that the sibling with a better parent relationshipwould have better outcomes. In families (N=145) with twochildren, parent negativity related to more depression symptoms,and differential negativity harmed both siblings. The role ofdifferential positivity requires more research. POSTER 57 PARENTS INFLUENCE ON CHILD SELF-EFFICACYTHROUGH PARENTAL PRACTICES NICOLINA FUSCO (YALE UNIVERSITY) The present study investigates the relation between parentalpractices and young adult SE.104 student participants, and 15parents, completed a SE and perceived parental practicesquestionnaire. Hypotheses: parental SE would be predictive ofyouth SE, parental practices would mediate the relation betweenparent and youth SE, and parental practices would be related tohigher youth SE scores. Linear regression analysis showed arelation between parent and youth SE scores and with parentencouragement.
