In a survey of 103 adults, we examined how generational age and frequency of Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok use relate to levels of envy and materialism. Gen Z showed significantly higher Instagram and TikTok use than older generations. Frequent Instagram access was associated with higher levels of materialism, while frequent TikTok access was associated with distinct patterns of envy and materialism.POSTER 2HOW COLOR AND ACUTE STRESS AFFECTS MEMORY RECALLVIRGINIA GAVEK (LOCK HAVEN UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA), ALEC MADDEN (LOCK HAVEN UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA), MASON NOVOBILSKI (LOCK HAVEN UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA), ANDREW TALBOT (LOCK HAVEN UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA) People who read passages with warm-toned words with time constraints are likely to answer questions correctly and recall distracting words; however, passages with cool-toned words cause more correctly answered questions but produce lower recall of distracting words. Being placed under a time stressor may increase word recall but not the number of correct questions. Findings from 114 participants and a series of parametric tests suggest word coloration and distractions have an influence on recall ability.POSTER 3HOW DOES LANGUAGE MINDSET CORRELATE WITH MOTIVATION AND STUDY STRATEGIES?PAIGE MULLINS (LYCOMING COLLEGE), SARAH HOLSTEIN (LYCOMING COLLEGE) Students with growth language mindsets may show more intrinsic motivation and better engagement with the language. Sixty-seven college students participated in an online survey about learning motivation, study strategies, and language mindset. Findings suggested that students with stronger growth language mindsets show greater levels of intrinsic motivation, self-efficacy, and effort regulation. However, language mindset does not predict study strategies. These findings could be useful to educators in the language field.POSTER 4HOW DOES TRAINING IMPACT PROVIDERS' COMFORT AND CONFIDENCE IN TREATING AUTISTIC PATIENTS?STEPHANIE TRANDUC (TUFTS UNIVERSITY), LUCINDA GARCIA (TUFTS UNIVERSITY), ASHTON GERBER (TUFTS UNIVERSITY), SIERRA SHOSTAC (TUFTS UNIVERSITY), OLIVER VONNEGUT (TUFTS UNIVERSITY), TAIT SMITH (TUFTS UNIVERSITY), SIMONE DUFRESNE (TUFTS UNIVERSITY), EILEEN CREHAN (TUFTS UNIVERSITY) While existing research focuses on healthcare providers' knowledge of Autism, there is minimal understanding about their attitudes towards treating autistic patients. This study addressed this discrepancy by assessing 19 primary care providers' comfort andconfidence ratings before and after specialized Autism training. Paired t-tests demonstrated a significant increase in providers' confidence and no change in providers' comfort interacting with autistic patients, suggesting that targeted interventions can effectively improve providers' confidence in engaging with autistic patients.POSTER 5HOW INSTRUCTIONAL METHOD OF CAREER SEARCH TOOLS INFLUENCES STUDENT CONFIDENCE AND ANXIETY.ADRIANA ZEBROWSKI (MANSFIELD UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA), FRANCIS CRAIG (UNIVERSITY OF MANSFIELD PENNSYLVANIA) 146
