175Further, although research has identified positive relations between discrimination and anger coping, it is not known if profiles of discriminatory experiences are linked to anger coping. The present study found four unique profiles of discrimination that were differentially associated with anger coping.POSTER 57SELF-COMPASSION, PTSD, AND SUBSTANCE USE RISK AMONG TREATMENT-SEEKING RESIDENTIAL VETERANSF. ANNA HUGHES (VILLANOVA UNIVERSITY), RAHAN M. SIDDIQI (PENN MEDICINE), JONATHAN S. BITTNER (IMMACULATA UNIVERSITY), ALEXANDER A. PUHALLA (COATESVILLE VETERANS AFFAIRS MEDICAL CENTER) The high comorbidity rate between PTSD and SUDs among veterans suggests underlying mechanisms connecting the conditions, with previous data suggesting self-compassion. As such, we extended these previous findings by examining sub-components of self-compassion as potential mediators and found that common humanity and over-identification were predictive of PTSD symptoms and substance use risk but did not mediate the relationship. Regardless, these findings provide support for integrating selfcompassion-based interventions for veterans with cooccurring PTSD and SUDs.POSTER 58SLEEP CONTROL, QUALITY, AND GENDER PREDICT GENERALIZED ANXIETY DISORDER-7 SCALE SCORERUTH PROPPER (MONTCLAIR STATE UNIVERSITY), MASHA VYPRYAZHKIN (MONTCLAIR STATE UNIVERSITY) Increased anxiety is associated with decreased sleep quality and feelings of control. Relationships between the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Brief Index of Sleep Quality Control (BRISC), and Sex in undergraduates using the ANSWERS dataset (sleep.org) were examined for correlations with the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7). Results demonstrate increased anxiety associated with decreased sleep quality, decreased control over sleep, and female sex. Results replicate previous research, expanding to include control over sleep.POSTER 59RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN FRIENDSHIPQUALITY AND WORRY-BASED CONVERSATIONAL STRATEGIES WITHIN ANXIOUS ADOLESCENT FRIENDSHIPSEMMA RONAGHAN (UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT), KIMBERLI TREADWELL (UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT) This study investigated the differential relationship of anxiety with conversational styles and friendship quality in 150 late adolescents that completed selfreport measures. For highly anxious adolescents, problem anxiety talk was linked to depth and conflict in friendships, whereas for nonanxious adolescents no associations were noted. Anxious adolescent friendships were also characterized by greater corumination and conflict. Results suggest that specific interactions between close friends may be a mechanism wherein anxiety impacts the quality of friendships.POSTER 60SOCIAL CONSTRAINTS, ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, AND ALCOHOL USE AMONG COLLEGE STUDENTSLEANA EUGENE (PENN STATE HARRISBURG), HALEY ALBERSON (PENN STATE HARRISBURG), AVA FERRY (PENN STATE COLLEGE OF MEDICINE), ELEANOR FESTER (PENN STATE HARRISBURG), NZINGA JONES (PENN STATE HARRISBURG), AUBREY NOWLAND (PENN STATE HARRISBURG), %u00d6VG%u00dc KAYNAK (PENN STATE HARRISBURG), CHRISTOPHER WHIPPLE (PENN STATE HARRISBURG) As college students navigate the challenges of early adulthood, social constraints may negatively impact student mental health and increase alcohol use. A cross-sectional design was used to explore indirect effects depression and anxiety have in the relation between social constraints and alcohol use. Depression did not have a significant indirect effect. However, findings did show that an increase in social constraints was associated with increased anxiety; increased anxiety was associated with more alcohol consumption.POSTER 61SEXUAL NEGOTIATION AND DEPRESSION AFTER BIRTH AMONG WOMEN IN MOZAMBIQUELUKONDE MULENGA (THE GRADUATE CENTER, CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK (CUNY)) The purpose of the proposed study is to examine the differential associations between sexual negotiation and depression symptoms between women who had given birth and those who did not in Mozambique. Using data from the eighth round of the Mozambique Demographic and Health Survey, frequencies and linear regressions were performed to describe the sample and estimate the relation between sex negotiation and depression among women who had given birth and women who did not.175Saturday, March 8
