183SASHA MACHMULLLER (SUNY CORTLAND), KAREN DAVIS (SUNY CORTLAND) This study examined whether models for online radicalization apply to online comments about Blanchard. Instagram comments (N = 848) were categorized into a radicalization hierarchy that ranged from content that condemned her actions to content that advocated for violence against people who abuse children. Analyses showed significant differences in the type of content across the hierarchy and supported the use of the model to explain how parasocial relationships result in ideologies similar to online radicalization.POSTER 14HIGH SCHOOL DRESS CODES: EXPLORING STUDENT PERCEPTIONS AND EXPERIENCESLYNLEY POLSGROVE (INDEPENDENT), KAREN L. YANOWITZ (ARKANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY) The study sought to explore the various effects, reactions, and attitudes towards high school dress codes. The participants for this study were asked about violations of the dress code, the gender of those most impacted by the dress code, and overall feelings towards dress codes. Results revealed that while students understood the purpose of a dress code, most agreed that the dress code unfairly targeted women and was less than beneficial to their learning experience.POSTER 15HOW DO SCIENTIFIC STORYBOOKS IMPACT CAREGIVER AND CHILD MINDSET AND FAILURE BELIEFS?JULIA TOMCHO (FAIRFIELD UNIVERSITY), BROOKE BENZ (FAIRFIELD UNIVERSITY), EMILY HANGEN (SUNY BROCKPORT), AMANDA HABER (FAIRFIELD UNIVERSITY) We examined how scientific storybook reading may impact caregiver-child dyads (N = 20; aged 6-7) mindset beliefs and engagement in a STEM activity. Caregivers and children were asked about their views of intelligence, failure, and children's persistence on a science task was assessed. The findings indicate that caregivers tend to have moderate expectations of their children's performance, consistent with children's perceptions of their expectations, and children tend to endorse a growth versus fixed mindset.POSTER 16HOW DOES FAST FASHION PURCHASING HABITS IMPACT PERCEPTION OF CLIMATE CHANGE?BRIDGET LONGDEN (ALBANY COLLEGE OF PHARMACY AND HEALTH SCIENCES), LILLIAN RODRIGUEZ STEEN (ALBANY COLLEGE OF PHARMACY AND HEALTH SCIENCES) The current study examined the frequency of college students purchasing habits from fast fashion companies, their understanding of climate change, and their acceptance of climate change. Data was collected from 48 college-age students. Participants responded to a series of questionnaires designed to capture their opinions and attitudes about fast fashion and climate change. Overall, the current study demonstrated that college-age students are knowledgeable about and accepting of climate change and the impact of climate change.POSTER 17IDENTIFYING EYE GAZE PATTERNS IN LOWINCOME MOTHER-INFANT AND FATHER-INFANT PLAYCATHERINE FISCHER (MOUNT ST. MARY'S UNIVERSITY) The ability to engage in mutual eye gaze during play is foundational to infant social and communicative development. The current study observed both mother-infant and father-infant play from 75 lowincome families with 9-month-old infants to determine the length of mutual eye gaze. Results showed similar amounts of mutual eye gaze between mother-infant dyads and father-infant dyads. These findings suggest that both low-income mothers and fathers are equally engaged with their children during play.POSTER 18IDENTIFYING PSYCHOLOGICAL NEED BASED RISKS OF PARENTS LIVING IN HOMELESS SHELTERSMADISON PALLADINO (VILLANOVA UNIVERSITY), JANETTE HERBERS (VILLANOVA UNIVERSITY) This study examines how mental health challenges and traumatic experiences impact the fulfillment of basic psychological needs%u2014autonomy, competence, and relatedness%u2014among parents living in homeless shelters. Data from 35 participants highlighted significant negative relationships between psychological distress and all three needs, with adult adversity particularly diminishing feelings of relatedness. These findings emphasize the importance of addressing psychological well-being and creating supportive shelter environments to reduce distress and promote healthier outcomes for parents and their families.183Saturday, March 8
