133POSTER 33PERCEPTIONS OF PSILOCYBIN USE PERTAINING TO GENDER DIFFERENCES OF INDIVIDUALS IN RECOVERYKATELYNN COLANTONI-OWENS (INDEPENDENT), JASON EIDLE (INDEPENDENT), DEAN STANKOSKI (INDEPENDENT), ERIN DENEKE (INDEPENDENT), ALBERT GARCIA-ROMEU (JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY) We explored how gender influences the perceptions of individuals in recovery from substance use disorders (n = 305) regarding psilocybin use. Findings showed that men endorsed more positive views regarding the medical, recreational, and spiritual/religious use of psilocybin as compared to women. Furthermore, men had higher agreement that psilocybin can safely be used recreationally, should have medical treatment status, and can be useful for mental health treatment when paired with psychological support.POSTER 34PERCEIVED SOCIAL SUPPORT ON STUDENTS' ACADEMIC STRESS AND ACADEMIC SELFEFFICACYBRIANNA KLINE (SETON HILL UNIVERSITY) College is a stressful time for students which can contribute to academic performance. Stress and coping theory (Lazarus and Folkman, 1984) supports the idea that social support may be a buffer to stress in challenging situations. The current study examines the influence of social support on academic self-efficacy and academic related stress. Results indicate support from professors is positively correlated with academic self-efficacy, and that academic self-efficacy is negatively related to stress of academic selfperceptions.POSTER 35PORNOGRAPHY USE AND ITS EFFECTS ON GENDERED ATTITUDES AND SEXUAL BEHAVIORS%u00e2%u20ac%u2039NATHAN PETERS (PENN STATE LEHIGH VALLEY A CAMPUS OF THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY), DAVID LIVERT (PENN STATE LEHIGH VALLEY), MIYELI VAZQUEZ (PENN STATE LEHIGH VALLEY) Research has linked pornography use to increased stereotypical gender beliefs and aggressive sexual behaviors. Studies found that pornography use correlates with harmful attitudes, such as objectifying women and interest in violent sexual acts, particularly in men. Additionally, frequent porn use was associated with engaging in pornography-normative sexual behaviors. Our research aimed to test this theory by exploring how pornography consumption and social network exposure to sex work influence U.S. collegestudents' attitudes toward sex work.POSTER 36PRECRASTINATION AS AN EMOTION REGULATION STRATEGYESTELA BAKA (SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT STATE UNIVERSITY), MICHAEL NIZHNIKOV (SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT STATE UNIVERSITY), CHRISTOPHER J. BUDNICK (SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT STATE UNIVERSITY) Precrastination, the opposite of procrastination, is the tendency to start a task immediately. This tendency is linked to a need to reduce cognitive load (i.e., CLEAR hypothesis). However, research on individual differences in precrastination is minimal. We found that anxiety, conscientiousness, positive affect, and negative affect predict precrastination. This research may point to precrastination as an emotion regulation tactic as well as cognitive load reduction.POSTER 37PREDICTORS OF DEHUMANIZATION IN AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERALEXANDRA DEPAOLI (SAINT JOSEPH'S UNIVERSITY), DEBORAH WARD (SAINT JOSEPH'S UNIVERSITY) For many with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Theory of Mind (TOM) deficits pose significant social challenges. Individuals with deficits in TOM have difficulty understanding social cues and recognizing that other people have perspectives and experiences different from one's own. The present experiment tests whether TOM deficits are associated with viewing a person as less human, with implications for understanding prejudice and discrimination directed towards those with ASD.POSTER 38PREDICTORS OF SUPPORT FOR TEACHING U.S. SCHOOLCHILDREN ABOUT RACE AND RACISMHEBA SALMAN (SKIDMORE COLLEGE), LEIGH WILTON (SKIDMORE COLLEGE), ALIZA NAZIR (TEACHERS COLLEGE, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY) Children in the U.S. benefit from learning about race, with White children better detecting bias and children of color gaining higher self-esteem. However, many adults, especially conservatives with higher racial bias, oppose race education. We found that adults who accurately estimate when children understand racial 133Saturday, March 8
