154POSTER 45THE INFLUENCE OF MUSIC ON EMOTIONAL PERCEPTION OF VISUAL ART ACROSS STYLESKEIRA GRUPE (KEENE STATE COLLEGE), HARLAN FICHTENHOLTZ (KEENE STATE COLLEGE) Music and art both evoke emotion in the person consuming it. This study examines the interaction between the two mediums when consumed simultaneously. Participants listened to music and rated multiple styles of visual art on how positive or negative they perceived it. A significant interaction showed that Impressionism was the only art style perceived significantly differently depending on the music. Additionally, Fauvism and Impressionism were perceived more positively than Cubism and Surrealism.POSTER 46THE INFLUENCE OF NAPPING ON COLLEGE STUDENTS MOOD REGULATION AND ACADEMIC ENGAGEMENTTALIA MANETTA (SETON HILL UNIVERSITY) While the influence getting enough sleep on cognitive outcomes is well-researched, less is known about the influence of mid-day napping. University students were surveyed to explore the influence of nap duration on mood and academic engagement. The results revealed that napping thirty minutes or less was associated with increases in positive mood, and unrelated to the remaining study variables. Discussion focuses on the implications for student health and well-being.POSTER 47THE PRESENCE OF IMPLICIT RACIAL BIAS IN SENTENCING BETWEEN ETHNICALLY-DIVERSE DEFENDANTSVINCENT NAZZARO (KEAN UNIVERSITY), JANE O'BRIEN (KEAN UNIVERSITY), VERNEDA HAMM BAUGH (KEAN UNIVERSITY) The scientific literature is variegated as to the relationship between implicit racial bias, guilt, and sentencing in criminal trials. Two hundred fifteen juroreligible adults participated in a 3 x 3 factorial design experiment. Participants viewed a criminal trial and reached both a verdict and sentence. Key findings suggest that race did not have an effect on guilt or sentencing which refuted an effect of bias. These findings reflect existing discrepancies in the role of race.POSTER 48THE PROCESSING FLUENCY OF TROUT MASK REPLICAMICHAEL AZINGER (SAINT VINCENT COLLEGE), MARK RIVARDO (SAINT VINCENT COLLEGE) Enjoyment of songs from the unusual album Trout Mask Replica was increased by an informational reading but not by repeated exposure, partially supporting processing fluency. Participants listened to two songs of higher or lower complexity from the album three times each. Between the second and third listens, they read a passage about the album or birds (control). As predicted, participants given the album reading reported greater enjoyment after the second listen.POSTER 49THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BEHAVIORS THAT IMPACT WELLNESS AND THE MODERN BUILT ENVIRONMENT.BRYN MORTENSON (TULANE UNIVERSITY), KARENA RUSH (MILLERSVILLE UNIVERSITY) The relationship between behavior and buildings we inhabit has long been established. However, workplace rather than home is typically investigated. The purpose of this study was to conduct a review of architecture and psychology research to examine how modern house designs can influence behaviors related to wellbeing such as food intake, activity, and socialization. The results from this literature will be discussed through the lens of architectural psychology with recommendations for both psychologists and architects.POSTER 50THE ROLE OF BACKGROUND COMPLEXITY ON EMOTION RECOGNITION IN VIDEO CONFERENCINGJANE KALLA (NEW JERSEY INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY), YELDA SEMIZER (NEW JERSEY INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY) This project examines the effect of visual complexity on ensemble perception, the ability to extract summary statistics from a group of similar items. Participants are asked to judge the average emotion of a group of attendees in a simulated video conferencing display. The background complexity of attendees are manipulated and a clutter metric is used to measure the visual clutter. The results can inform design choices to improve user experience.154
