ORCHOWSKI (BROWN UNIVERSITY) Bisexual+ women have higher rates of sexual victimization compared to lesbian and heterosexual women. The current research used qualitative methods to examine perspectives on factors that contribute to high rates of victimization among bisexual+ college women. Participants were bisexual+ women and nonbinary college students (N = 9). Double-coded thematic analysis revealed that biphobic stereotypes, perceived social rejection, and alcohol use were viewed as contributing factors to sexual victimization.POSTER 45REFRAMING CAMPUS LIFE: ANTI-DEI POLICIES ON STUDENTS' ANTICIPATED EXPERIENCESSKYLER CARTER (UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT), ALEXANDRA GARR-SCHULTZ (UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT) Restrictions on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives have recently been at the forefront of political discourse and policy-making efforts. These policies dismantle practices aimed at increasing the representation and success of individuals from underrepresented backgrounds in higher education. The present study examines the consequences of antiDEI policies on students' expectations of campus belonging, success, and enrollment intentions, as well as environmental changes (e.g., multicultural values) that may drive these outcomes.POSTER 46RELATIVE IMPORTANCE OF WARMTH, ATTRACTIVENESS, AND STATUS IN ROMANTIC PARTNER EVALUATIONSCHRISTIAN CANETE (ITHACA COLLEGE), LEIGH NATURALE (ITHACA COLLEGE), GRACE LILL (ITHACA COLLEGE), RACHEL BRODY (ITHACA COLLEGE), NOELLE SETZER (ITHACA COLLEGE), MAGGIE FARBER (ITHACA COLLEGE), FRANK HAGGERTY (ITHACA COLLEGE), EMMA HEINZE (ITHACA COLLEGE), MARY TOWNSEND (ITHACA COLLEEG), ALLIE RICHTER (ITHACA COLLEGE), LEIGH ANN VAUGHN (ITHACA COLLEGE) Warmth/trustworthiness, attractiveness/vitality, and status/resources are attributes that many people ideally want in a romantic partner. People evaluate their current or prospective romantic partner more positively the more they match up to these ideals. But which of these three ideals are most important to people? In a large international dataset with people who were in or not in a romantic relationship, we found that partners' warmth/trustworthiness and attractiveness/vitality were stronger predictors ofpartner evaluations than status/resources.POSTER 47RELIGIOUS PRESSURE AND PERCEPTIONS OF SEXUAL INTIMACYMADISON PRICE (BELMONT UNIVERSITY), LENA PERRY (BELMONT UNIVERSITY), EMMA JAY (BELMONT UNIVERSITY), OLIVIA FARIAS (BELMONT UNIVERSITY) We examined how Christian music, Bible verses, and mantras influence perceptions of sexual intimacy. Participants were assigned three conditions: high religious pressure (religious song and verse), moderate pressure (slightly religious song and mantra), or no pressure (classical music and inspirational quote). We hypothesized that religious pressure and a religious background would promote more conservative views on intimacy. Our results supported the link between religious upbringing and conservative views, but not the effect of religious pressure.POSTER 48ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS OF SEXUAL OFFENDERS: THE ROLE OF SEXISM, SHAME, SELFESTEEM, ATTACHMENTEMILY MANIS (ADELPHI UNIVERSITY), CAROLYN SPRINGER (ADELPHI UNIVERSITY) Romantic relationships significantly impact people's lives. Romantic relationships have been linked to destinance, but sexual offenders often struggle with intimacy, oftentimes leading to tumultuous or unhealthy relationships. This study utilized a community-based sample of sexual offenders, who completed measures on ambivalent sexism, shame, self-esteem, attachment, relationship satisfaction and quality, and infidelity. The results aim to aid in better understanding factors that can contribute to healthy, satisfying romantic relationships for people convicted of a sexual offense.POSTER 49SACRED INTIMACY: THE INFLUENCE OF RELIGIOSITY ON SEXUALITYMADILYN PERLEBERG (SETON HILL UNIVERSITY) Given research indicates that religion can shape an individual's attitudes related to sexuality and sexual behavior (Schnabel et. al., 2022), the current study analyzed the relationship between religious centrality and sexual attitudes and behaviors among college 135Saturday, March 8
