This suggests that we can improve mental health by fostering positive connections amongst students.POSTER 3EMOTIONAL REGULATION MODERATES THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN POLITICAL MEDIA AND POLITICAL ACTION/MENTAL HEALTHCOLLEEN MARSH (HARTWICK COLLEGE), MADISON M. FELTER (HARTWICK COLLEGE), ASHLEY REISS (HARTWICK COLLEGE), DYLAN DWYER (HARTWICK COLLEGE), MALLORY E. CARMAN (HARTWICK COLLEGE), LIAM M. BROWN (HARTWICK COLLEGE), GIOVANNA M. WALL (HARTWICK COLLEGE), LAWSON T. WILLIAMS (HARTWICK COLLEGE), EMMA R. COHEN (HARTWICK COLLEGE), URSULA A. SANBORN-OVERBY (SUNY ONEONTA), WILLIAM J. KOWALCZYK (HARTWICK COLLEGE) Exposure to political media may present problems for college students' mental health. This study found significant effects of exposure to political media on college students' political action and emotional regulation. Use of emotional regulation also moderated political media exposure's effect on political action, as well as the effect on mental health. In high exposure, certain emotional regulation techniques manifested negative mental health outcomes, as well as either an increase or decrease in political action.POSTER 4EUDAIMONIC WELL-BEING AND REDEMPTIVE FORM USE IN PERPETRATOR AND VICTIM NARRATIVESESRA SAVAS (FRANKLIN & MARSHALL COLLEGE), KATIE PIPPENGER (FRANKLIN AND MARSHALL COLLEGE), CADE MANSFIELD (FRANKLIN AND MARSHALL COLLEGE) We explore whether individual differences in eudaimonic well-being matter for themes expressed in perpetration and victimization narratives. Personal relations with others will predict interpersonal forms of redemption. Personal growth will predict intrapersonal forms of redemption. Participants (n=179) in our within subject's design completed questionnaires and memory narratives about perpetrating harm and being harmed in important relationships. We plan to focus on simple counts of forms within facets of eudaimonic well-being and a chi-square analysis.POSTER 5EVALUATING THE EFFECTS OF FIDGETS ON READING COMPREHENSIONANNA THOMPSON (INDEPENDENT), KAREN L. YANOWITZ (ARKANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY) Fidget toys have been created for individuals to manipulate and are marketed as devices that help calm anxiety and increase focus. Little research has been conducted to examine how fidget toys affect behaviors in the classroom, and with the push for these toys to be in classrooms, there is a need for research on how they affect different classroom skills. This project aims to evaluate the effects of fidget toys on reading comprehension.POSTER 6EXAMINING RELIGIOUS AND SPIRITUAL MEASURES USING FACTOR ANALYTIC METHODSJOELLE SACKS (BINGHAMTON UNIVERSITY STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK), MONICA RAMIREZ (BINGHAMTON UNIVERSITY STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK), ROSHAN PATEL (BINGHAMTON UNIVERSITY STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK), ALYSSA MIVILLE (BINGHAMTON UNIVERSITY STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK), RICHARD MATTSON (BINGHAMTON UNIVERSITY STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK), MATTHEW JOHNSON (BINGHAMTON UNIVERSITY STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK) Religion and spirituality are important to many individuals, though the lack of agreement across definitions and measures make them somewhat complicated constructs to examine. This study analyzes several existing faith-based inventories. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed four major factors. Ultimately, our results suggest that there is a need for additional validation work on measures in this field to ensure more accurate measurement and to allow for better comparison of findings across studies.POSTER 7EXAMINING ROUTINIZED MATH-LEARNING IN PARENT-CHILD CONVERSATIONS: A COMMOGNITIVE ANALYSISFELICIA SHEN (UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH), EINAT HEYD-METZUYANIM (TECHNION %u2013 ISRAEL'S INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY), MELISSA LIBERTUS (UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH) This study investigates math-related conversations between parents and 4-year-old children during pretend grocery shopping. Qualitative coding identifies patterns of routines, (de-)ritualization, and discursive gaps to address how math learning may unfold during parent-child play. This study aims to uncover different math routines during play and if and how parents and children bridge discursive gaps. Findings aim to provide insights into mathematical discourse between 181Saturday, March 8
