172POSTER 41IPV & HEART RATE REACTIVITY AMONG VETERANS WITH PTSD DURING SHAME INDUCTIONRAHAN SIDDIQI (COATESVILLE VAMC), ALEXANDER PUHALLA (COATESVILLE VAMC), F. ANNA HUGHES (COATESVILLE VAMC), JONATHAN BITTNER (COATESVILLE VAMC) Intimate partner violence is a significant issue amongst the veteran population, which may be exacerbated by negative self-evaluations (e.g., shame) which are significantly elevated among those with MST and PTSD. However, no research has examined the affective response to shame induction amongst veterans with PTSD, and how IPV status affects this response. This study found that, while IPV status did not affect conscious increases in shame, IPV history predicted increased autonomic arousal following shame induction.POSTER 42IS DEPRESSION-RELATED COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT LINKED TO SUICIDALITY IN OLDER ADULTS?JAMIE KARNS (FERKAUF GRADUALE SCHOOL OF PSYCHOLOGY), RICHARD ZWEIG (FERKAUF GRADUATE SCHOOL OF PSYCHOLOGY) Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) may involve depression-related cognitive impairment (DRCI) and is a strong diagnostic predictor of suicide risk in older adults. This review integrates research on DRCI (cognitive control, working memory, and decisionmaking) in older adults with MDD who attempt suicide to clarify future research directions. Findings suggest older adults with past suicide attempts have greater DRCI problems (cognitive control, working memory but not decision-making) than older adults with no past suicide attempts.POSTER 43LATER ADULTHOOD TRAUMA RE-ENGAGEMENT AND MENTAL HEALTH OUTCOMES AMONG AGING VETERANSAMANDA EMMA (ADELPHI UNIVERSITY), CHRISTINA MARINI (ADELPHI UNIVERSITY) This study examines the relationship between trauma re-engagement and mental health outcomes within a sample (N=50) of aging (65+) veterans. It also explores whether appraisals of military service moderate these relationships. Findings indicated that veterans with higher re-engagement reported higher depression and anxiety symptoms, even after controlling for age, rank, and total deployments. These associations were not moderated by veterans' appraisals of their service. Clinically, re-engagement appears as a significant factor impacting veteran's wellbeing.POSTER 44LONGITUDINAL IMPACT OF PROBLEM ANXIETY TALK AND FRIENDSHIP QUALITY ON SOCIAL ANXIETYADRIANA TORLISH (UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT), KIMBERLI TREADWELL (UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT) Social anxiety is associated with impairments in peer functioning, yet the direction of these associations is unclear. This study examined two forms of interpersonal disclosures, dyadic worry and corumination, and the potential bidirectional relationship between these variables and social anxiety in a 60-day longitudinal design of late adolescents. Results indicated a significant bidirectional model across time between problem anxiety talk and social anxiety, but not with co-rumination, suggesting specificity in problematic anxious self-disclosure.POSTER 45MINDFULNESS, SOCIAL PROBLEM SOLVING, AND RUMINATION: PREDICTING UNIQUE VARIANCE IN DEPRESSION.FREDERICK NITCHIE (ROWAN UNIVERSITY), DANIELLE SCHWEITZER (ROWAN UNIVERSITY), JAMES HAUGH (ROWAN UNIVERSITY) Mindfulness and social problem solving (SPS) have both been found to differentially predict symptoms of depression. Additionally, rumination has been found to correlate with depression as well as mindfulness, and social problem-solving. However, what remains unknown is how much unique variance rumination can explain in depressive scores when modeled alongside either mindfulness or SPS. Generalized linear modeling showed that ruminative thoughts significantly predicted unique variance in depression levels when tested alongside both mindfulness and SPS.POSTER 46NEUROTIC AND ALONE: THE PATHWAYS FROM NEUROTICISM TO LONELINESS IN COLLEGE STUDENTSCOURTNEY FORBES (NAZARETH UNIVERSITY), TORI WILCOX (NAZARETH UNIVERSITY), RYAN O'LOUGHLIN (NAZARETH UNIVERSITY) 172
