136students. The current study adds to our understanding of factors that may shape attitudes related to sexuality and overall sexual satisfaction.POSTER 50SEXUAL SENSATION SEEKING AND SEXUAL SATISFACTION BY SEX AND SEXUAL ORIENTATIONJENNIFER MAILLOUX (UNIVERSITY OF MARY WASHINGTON), MARIANA HOUGH-KLOCKNER (UNIVERSITY OF MARY WASHINGTON), ARMON BARNES (UNIVERSITY OF MARY WASHINGTON), RENEE LEGER (UNIVERSITY OF MARY WASHINGTON), ADAM DESKINS (UNIVERSITY OF MARY WASHINGTON) Are sexual sensation seeking and sexual satisfaction related and, if so, are they differently related in heterosexual males, heterosexual females, homosexual males, and homosexual females? We found that males had significantly higher sexual sensation seeking scores than females, and females had significantly higher sexual satisfaction scores than males, regardless of sexual orientation. Finally, sexual sensation seeking and sexual satisfaction were positively related in homosexual males and females, but not in heterosexual males and females.POSTER 51SHOULD WE 'CALL-IN' OR 'CALL-OUT'? STUDENT PERSPECTIVES ON BIAS INTERVENTION STRATEGIESAVA BJELKA (SACRED HEART UNIVERSITY), RAEGAN DOYLE (SACRED HEART UNIVERSITY), CHRISTINA POIRIER (SACRED HEART UNIVERSITY), DORIANNE J. GREEN (INDIANA UNIVERSITY), KATHRYN M. KROEPER (SACRED HEART UNIVERSITY) The present study explores how people respond to offensive statements when given different instructions: to \Six hundred college students completed an online survey in which they were presented with the definitions of both approaches, and were then prompted to create both a call-in and call-out response to a hypothetical offensive comment made by a friend. Findings suggest that call-ins are rated more favorably than call-outs.POSTER 52SIDING WITH THE AGGRESSOR: AUTHORITARIANISM IN JUDGMENTS OF RACIAL MICROAGGRESSIONSMADELINE BULL (THE UNIVERSITY OF SCRANTON), GABRIELLE JAMIESON (THE UNIVERSITY OF SCRANTON), REBECCA RUSSO (THE UNIVERSITY OF SCRANTON), ANTHONY BETANCOURT (THE UNIVERSITY OF SCRANTON), CHRISTIE KARPIAK (THE UNIVERSITY OF SCRANTON) The present study examined the relationship between authoritarianism and responses to observed microaggressions. As hypothesized, participants (n = 70) who scored higher on the AuthoritarianismConservatism-Traditionalism Scale were more likely to side with the aggressor and omit their negative behavior in free response questions. Additionally, authoritarianism was found to be strongly related to endorsement of colorblind attitudes. These results suggest that authoritarian attitudes in bystanders are likely to complicate efforts to intervene and reduce microaggressions.POSTER 53SOCIETAL ATTITUDES ABOUT GENDER IDENTITY AND SEXUAL ORIENTATIONRACHEL STEELE (SALISBURY UNIVERSITY), VIC ANDROCY (SALISBURY UNIVERSITY), ANDREW BLACK (SALISBURY UNIVERSITY), DE'ASIA DOUGLAS (SALISBURY UNIVERSITY), ELYSHA ROSS (SALISBURY UNIVERSITY) This research examines discrimination and attitudes toward LGBTQIA+ people, highlighting progress in marriage equality and resistance through legislation, education, and politics. A diverse U.S. sample of 534 completed an online survey about gender identity and sexual orientation; thematic analysis was conducted. Participants expressed positive and mixed opinions, though a majority had unsupportive views. Positive responses expressed indifference towards others' identities. Given the many negative responses, there are clear obstacles to progress in securing LGBTQIA+ rights.POSTER 54SPORTS, CLASSROOMS, PEERS AND AUTHORITIES: HOW CONTEXT INFLUENCES PERCEPTIONS OF MICROAGGRESSIONSANTHONY BETANCOURT (UNIVERSITY OF SCRANTON), CLAIRE CARRERA (UNIVERSITY OF OREGON), BRYCE RAHYNES (UNIVERSITY OF SCRANTON), CAMYRN NAGLE (UNIVERSITY OF SCRANTON), CHRISTIE KARPIAK (UNIVERSITY OF SCRANTON) University students (n=70) participated in an extension study of perceptions of racial microaggressions committed by peers vs. authority figures. A 2x2 repeated ANOVA revealed significant impacts of role (authority vs. peer; (F=25.37, partial %u00ce%u00b7%u00c2%u00b2 =.28) and context (class vs. sport; F=72.80, partial %u00ce%u00b7%u00c2%u00b2 = .52).
