131POSTER 22MINORITY STRESS AND WORKING MEMORYAHMED SALEM (MONTCLAIR STATE UNIVERSITY), JOHN PAUL WILSON (MONTCLAIR STATE UNIVERSITY) Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) individuals face stressors unique to their sexual minority identity. Long-term minority stress has been shown to result in poorer health outcomes. This study utilized a film-based minority stress induction and the n-back task in over 250 participants to gauge the effects of minority stress on working memory in both LGBTQ+ and non-LGBTQ+ samples. The study seeks to identify the between-group effect of acute minority stress on cognitive performance.POSTER 23MODELING AND FOOD SELECTION: ARE WE AWARE OF THE INFLUENCE OF OTHERS?NYAH SPEICHER (UNIVERSITY OF MARY WASHINGTON), ALEX BORG (UNIVERSITY OF MARY WASHINGTON), ALLISON MIGLIACCIO (UNIVERSITY OF MARY WASHINGTON), LILITH MIZOE (UNIVERSITY OF MARY WASHINGTON), KENNA WESTEN (UNIVERSITY OF MARY WASHINGTON), CHRISTINE MCBRIDE (UNIVERSITY OF MARY WASHINGTON) This study examined the effects of eating tempo, food type, and fullness on mimicry of eating behavior. Participants watched a model representing one eating speed (slow vs fast) and type of food (healthy vs hedonic) and reported how many of the food options they would eat in a similar situation. No differences were found between conditions in what foods participants thought they would choose. The awareness of social influence on eating is discussed.POSTER 24MULTIPLE INFORMANT REPORTS OF MEN'S NEGATIVE ATTITUDES TOWARD WOMENAREESHA WASEEM (CENTRAL CONNECTICUT STATE UNIVERSITY), JASON SIKORSKI (CENTRAL CONNECTICUT STATE UNIVERSITY), ALEXA LOMBARDO (CENTRAL CONNECTICUT STATE UNIVERSITY), EMMA BRUZZI (CENTRAL CONNECTICUT STATE UNIVERSITY) 87 men accompanied by another informant who knew them well for many months, completed several reliable and valid response inventories. Informants described the participants they accompanied to the study as displaying more negative attitudes toward women than the participant themselves described via self-report. As in clinical assessment, it is likely that the assessment of gender role adherence would benefit from including other reporters to enhance the reliability of various clinical and judicial decisions.POSTER 25NOT ME-SEARCH, YOU-SEARCH: ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR RESEARCH INVOLVING MARGINALIZED OUTGROUPSHANNAH SNIDMAN (MARYMOUNT UNIVERSITY) This study explored experiences of quantitative researchers who work with marginalized populations. Participants were recruited from the Society for Personality and Social Psychology forum, and asked questions regarding their struggles and best practices while working with marginalized populations. Responses included concerns regarding bidirectional trust, community norms, perceived bias, diversity and participant recruitment and compensation. This paper contributes to understanding of current struggles and best practices while conducting research among marginalized populations.POSTER 26NYC COLLEGE STUDENTS' KNOWLEDGE SOURCES AND ATTITUDES TOWARDS HPV VACCINATIONJOYCE ESCATEL-FLORES (BROOKLYN COLLEGE), LAURA REIGADA (CUNY GRADUATE CENTER AND BROOKLYN COLLEGE), CHERYL CARMICHAEL (CUNY GRADUATE CENTER AND BROOKLYN COLLEGE) The human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common sexually transmitted infection that may cause cancer. Research assessing sources from which individuals acquire information on HPV and its implications for HPV vaccine uptake is limited. NYC College students completed a survey regarding vaccine uptake, vaccine completion likelihood, and source of HPV information. Findings have the potential to be significantly impactful for cancer prevention stakeholders who aim to deliver HPV information to diverse groups.POSTER 27OLDER ADULTS' NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS AND LONELINESS: THE MEDIATING ROLE OF CYNICAL HOSTILITYJACLYN KEENOY (COLLEGE OF MOUNT SAINT VINCENT), LEYLA REYES (UNIVERSITY OF MOUNT SAINT VINCENT), CAROLINE GOMES (UNIVERSITY OF MOUNT SAINT VINCENT), AMANDA OCC%u00c9AN (UNIVERSITY OF MOUNT SAINT VINCENT) This study explores how neighborhood characteristics affect loneliness in older adults, considering the mediating role of cynical hostility.
