                                    176POSTER 62SOCIAL SKILLS IN CHILDREN WITH DUCHENNE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHYNATALIE NAGPAL (QUEENS COLLEGE, CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK), VERONICA HINTON (QUEENS COLLEGE, CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK) Parent report of social skills and social communication were completed on a large sample of boys with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) and sibling controls. A subsample of children also completed measures of estimated verbal IQ and ability to read affect. Groups did not differ by age or estimated verbal IQ, yet children with DMD had significantly worse reported social skills, social communication and performed more on affect reading compared to typically developing siblings.POSTER 63SPEED/ACCURACY TRADE-OFF AND ANXIOUS SYMPTOMS IN CHILDREN WITH FRAGILE X PREMUTATIONSONIA SEEHRA (QUEENS COLLEGE, CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK, THE GRADUATE CENTER, CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK), MELANIE MEJIA (QUEENS COLLEGE, CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK), SHIRA RUSSELL-GILLER (QUEENS COLLEGE, CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK, THE GRADUATE CENTER, CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK), AMANDA KENEPP (QUEENS COLLEGE, CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK, THE GRADUATE CENTER, CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK), SHANTAL TAVERAS (QUEENS COLLEGE, CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK, THE GRADUATE CENTER, CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK), RACHEL GOLDMAN (QUEENS COLLEGE, CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK, THE GRADUATE CENTER, CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK), TATYANA ADAYEV (NYS INSTITUTE FOR BASIC RESEARCH IN DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES), NICOLE TORTORA (NYS INSTITUTE FOR BASIC RESEARCH IN DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES), EMILY GRAVES ALLEN (EMORY UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE), JESSICA EZZELL HUNTER (RTI INTERNATIONAL, RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK), VERONICA J HINTON (QUEENS COLLEGE, CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK, THE GRADUATE CENTER, CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK) This study investigated whether speed/accuracy tradeoffs in cognitive performance on the computerized Attention Network Task serve as behavioral markers for anxiety traits in children with fragile X premutation (PM; n=69) versus non-carriers (NC; n=80). Age, sex and PM status significantly contributed to speed/accuracy ratios, although anxiety symptoms were not associated with performance patterns. Results suggest complex relationships between response patterns and behavioral traits that differ from hypothesized anxiety-related patterns in PM carriers and non-carriers.POSTER 64SOCIAL REACTIONS TO DISCLOSURES OF THE NONCONSENSUAL DISTRIBUTION OF SEXUAL IMAGESRUISHA PRASAI (TOWSON UNIVERSITY), MATTHEW ABELL (TOWSON UNIVERSITY), EMMANUELA ONYILOKWU (TOWSON UNIVERSITY), DANIEL ROSS (TOWSON UNIVERSITY), CHRISTINA DARDIS (TOWSON UNIVERSITY) The present study examined gender differences in social reactions to nonconsensual distribution (NCD) disclosures. Among 745 undergraduate participants who received NCD disclosures, there were gender effects of the supporter and victim. Male supporters gave, and male victims received, more negative reactions (i.e., blame, stigma, infantilizing), and fewer positive reactions (e.g., support) than female supporters and female victims. Gender pairing effects were significant only for infantilization; male supporters gave particularly more infantilizing reactions to male victims.POSTER 65SOCIETAL PRESSURE TO BE HAPPY, CORUMINATION, AND DEPRESSION: GENDER MATTERSKARLA MURDOCK (DEPARTMENT OF COGNITIVE AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE, WASHINGTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY), WYTHE WHITING (DEPARTMENT OF COGNITIVE AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE, WASHINGTON AND LEE UNIVERSITY) We examined associations among perceived societal pressure to be happy, cellphone-mediated and face-toface co-rumination, and depression among emerging adults. Women endorsed significantly higher levels of all study variables compared to men. Regression models testing direct and interactive effects of perceived societal pressure to be happy and corumination accounted for more than 20% of the variance in depression for women and less than 4% of the variance for men.POSTER 66STIGMA AND DEPRESSION AMONG OLDER ADULTS IN NYCNANCY WANG (WEILL CORNELL MEDICINE), CLARE CULVER (WEILL CORNELL MEDICINE), ISABEL ROLLANDI (WEILL CORNELL MEDICINE), JO ANNE SIREY (WEILL CORNELL MEDICINE) 176
