158MADELEINE GOODMAN (ITHACA COLLEGE), CAROLINE HOSKINS (ITHACA COLLEGE), JALEN LEONARDOSBORNE (ITHACA COLLEGE), AMANDA FAHERTY (ITHACA COLLEGE) Previous research has been limited to parental support and DI varsity athletes. Little has been done to examine how parenting style predicts athletic satisfaction and may differ in emerging adult athletes of different levels (18-29 years old; varsity, club or intramural). One-hundred and twenty-nine participants were recruited to take this survey. We found that parenting styles predicted EA athletic satisfaction and athletic motivation. Very few differences were found between varsity, intramural, and club athletes.POSTER 68RESILIENCE & RIVALRY: SIBLING RELATIONSHIPS IN DIVORCED FAMILIES DURING EMERGING ADULTHOOD TRANSITIONLAUREN BRUCK (ITHACA COLLEGE), JULIA RIFKIN (ITHACA COLLEGE), DANIEL BOOTH (ITHACA COLLEGE), CHASITY PERDOMO (ITHACA COLLEGE), AMANDA FAHERTY (ITHACA COLLEGE) We explored the effects of a sibling presence during childhood divorce on transitional factors into emerging adulthood. We examined how sibling relationships impacted participants formation of social relationships, and if these networks were able to mitigate the effects of parental divorce. Lastly, we looked at how gender and age between siblings affected relationship quality. We had emerging adults complete a self-report survey and analyzed results using independent samples ttests, simple and multiple linear regressions.POSTER 69THE IMPACT OF CULTURAL UNDERSTANDINGS ON FEAR THROUGH VIDEO GAMESCATHERINE RADKO (MANHATTAN COLLEGE), KIMBERLY FAIRCHILD (NEW YORK UNIVERSITY) Horror video games often feature cultural elements which impact the narrative and atmospheric elements of the game.

The results suggested that culture impacts fear, but more research must be done to gain a clearer understanding of how.POSTER 70YOUR TRUE COLORS: EFFECTS OF AUTHORITY AND GROUP IDENTITY ON AUTHENTICITYYOSELIN RAMIREZ (COLBY COLLEGE), AINSLEY BONANG (COLBY COLLEGE), ELSA GRANT (COLBY COLLEGE), INGRID FARRELL (COLBY COLLEGE), ELIZABETH SETO (COLBY COLLEGE) The present study examined how authority and groupidentity affected feelings of authenticity in a classroom setting. 139 participants were randomly assigned to authority (present/absent) and group-identity (same/different race) conditions and completed a measure of authenticity. Key findings suggest that there is no effect of authority and group-identity on authenticity. These findings consider the possible influence of value differentiation on young adults in the classroom compared to other social settings.POSTER 71EXAMINING COLLEGE STUDENTS' PERSONALITY BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER THE COVID-19 PANDEMICMY TRIEU (VASSAR COLLEGE), EMMA TIEDEMANN (VASSAR COLLEGE), ALLAN CLIFTON (VASSAR COLLEGE) Previous research has linked COVID-19 to personality changes but has not considered cross-cohort personality differences. The present study examines the differences and changes in the Big Five personality traits among three first-year college student cohorts: pre-pandemic, peri-pandemic, and post-pandemic. Data were collected as part of a larger multi-wave study on social networks and personality. We predict between-cohort personality differences, as well as within-cohort personality changes from first year to senior year.POSTER 72LOST IN FANTASY: EXPLORING THE CONSEQUENCES OF MALADAPTIVE DAYDREAMINGHEATHER RAE GAYDOWEN (SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT STATE UNIVERSITY), MICHAEL NIZHNIKOV (SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT STATE UNIVERSITY), CHRISTOPHER BUDNICK (SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT STATE UNIVERSITY) Maladaptive daydreaming (MD) is excessive and compulsive daydreaming that disrupts the individual's life.
