The present study aims to determine the relations between daily anger coping and ABP reactivity while controlling for trait anger.POSTER 57HOW SOCIAL MEDIA SELF-PRESENTATION PREDICTS RUMINATIVE IDENTITY IN THE CONTEXT OF ANXIETYAITZA CRUZ SILVA (MERCY UNIVERSITY), BUSHRA KHAN (MERCY UNIVERSITY), ASHLEY BAEZ (MERCY UNIVERSITY), ARIANNA CASTELLAR (MERCY UNIVERSITY), JULIANA INFANTE (MERCY UNIVERSITY), NADINE LUJAN (MERCY UNIVERSITY), CELIA ALONSO GARCIA (MERCY UNIVERSITY), REBECCA C. TRENZ (MERCY UNIVERSITY), JULIA ZAVALA (MERCY UNIVERSITY) This study examined how dimensions of social media self-presentation (SMSP)%u2014breadth, depth, positivity, and authenticity predict ruminative identity, in the context of anxiety among 264 female participants. Controlling age and race/ethnicity, findings revealed that SMSP did not predict ruminative identity for females who experienced low anxiety. However, positive SMSP predicted higher ruminative identity for females who experienced high anxiety. Findings indicate that posting positive content and being highly anxious could lead to greater ruminative identity.POSTER 58IMPACT OF TASK CHOICE AND GOAL SHARING ON WELLNESS BASED GOAL ACHIEVEMENTKATHARINE STANNARD (SAINT LAWRENCE UNIVERSITY), R. BRIAN GIESLER (SAINT LAWRENCE UNIVERSITY) The purpose of this experiment was to test the effects of goal sharing via social media platforms and task choice on achievement of wellness-based goals during two weeks in a sample of young adults. We predict the effects of accountability and autonomy produced by the study's independent variables will interact synergistically such that those participants who had task choice and shared their goal will be more successful in achieving their goal than the other conditions.POSTER 59IN-SILICO ANALYSIS OF NPM1 MUTATIONS IN ACUTE MYELOID LEUKEMIAHONEY PRAJAPATI (WILLIAM PATERSON UNIVERSITY OF NEW JERSEY), MICHAEL GORDON (WILLIAM PATERSON UNIVERSITY OF NEW JERSEY), EMILY MONROE (WILLIAM PATERSON UNIVERSITY OF NEW JERSEY) The Functional Analysis through Hidden Markov Models (FATHMM) tool was used to classify mutations in the NPM1 gene as either neutral or cancerous. The NPM1 gene is highly prevalent in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), making its classification crucial for clinical intervention. Using FATHMM, an in-silico analysis of NPM1 mutations identified six out of 36 mutations as likely cancerous. These findings highlight the potential utility of these mutations as biomarkers for the diagnosis of AML.POSTER 60INVESTIGATING THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN PCL-C SCORES AND THE LATE POSITIVE POTENTIALMICHELE SCHREMP (SWARTHMORE COLLEGE), BRIAN METZGER (SWARTHMORE COLLEGE) PTSD is often associated with increased attention to perceived danger (i.e. hypervigilance). To better understand this association, we looked at the relationship between the scalp-derived EEG late positive potential (LPP) and the symptom subscales measured by the PTSD Checklist for Civilians (PCL-C). EEG data were collected from sixty undergraduate students passively viewing negative, positive and neutral emotional stimuli. We expect a positive association between LPP amplitude and trauma exposure, altered mood, and arousal.POSTER 61INVESTIGATION INTO SARCASM COMPREHENSION IN FIRST AND SECOND LANGUAGE ENGLISH SPEAKERS.SARAH HARER (BOSTON UNIVERSITY), SEHENI KARIYAWASAN (BOSTON UNIVERSITY), JUDY LAM (BOSTON UNIVERSITY), CATHERINE CALDWELLHARRIS (BOSTON UNIVERSITY) This study explored whether sarcasm comprehension is learned through socializing, particularly among secondlanguage English (ESL) speakers. Using video vignettes and surveys with English-dominant and ESL participants, we assessed sarcasm comprehension relative to socialization experience. Results showed slightly higher comprehension in English-dominant participants, but findings lacked significance due to a small sample size. Future research will refine measures and expand samples, with potential implications for understanding sarcasm challenges in Autism Spectrum Disorder populations.156
