186SOBRUN (LYCOMING COLLEGE), SARAH HOLSTEIN (LYCOMING COLLEGE) This study examined the impact of a physical stressor during encoding on memory recognition and recall. Twenty participants were exposed to a cold-pressor test (CPT) or warm water control during an encoding task. The impact of CPT on immediate (25 min) anddelayed (24 hr) memory recall and recognition, as well as cortisol levels, was then assessed. Key findings are that CPT increased immediate and delayed free recall, but not memory recognition or cortisol levels.POSTER 31MECHANISTIC INVESTIGATIONS INTO THE BRAIN DERIVED NEUROTROPHIC FACTOR RECEPTOR TRKBMARY AVELLA (HUNTER COLLEGE CUNY), SHAILESH KUMAR (YALE UNIVERSITY), MOITRAYEE BHATTACHARYYA (YALE UNIVERSITY) Psychedelics have become a therapeutic treatment for mental illnesses. One mechanism of the targeting of these drugs is the neurotrophic factor BDNF binds to tyrosine kinase receptor B. We wanted to see the oligomeric distribution of TrkB in response to BDNF on the membrane. We grew Expi-293 cells with TrkB. We broke the cells, solubilized the membranes, and checked TrkB protein quality and oligomeric distribution on the membranes. We found more dimertrimer formation with BDNF.POSTER 32MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES FACED BY FEMALE COLLEGIATE STUDENT-ATHLETESSHELBY SWARTZ (HARTWICK COLLEGE), WILLIAM J. KOWALCZYK (HARTWICK COLLEGE) Mental health struggles impact student-athletes greatly. This study examines the relationship between time of season, life events, and athletic relationships with levels of depression, stress, and anxiety in female student-athletes. No relationship of time was found, but the mental health measures were related to measures of team and coach relationships and performance. This suggests that it's not the time of season, but rather personal performance and personal relationships that are important for athlete mental health.POSTER 33MIND AND BODY: MINDFUL SELF-CARE CONNECTS TO BURNOUT AND PERSONALITYKATELYN AINEY (MARYWOOD UNIVERSITY), LINDSAY MORTON (MARYWOOD UNIVERSITY), MADISON MOWER (MARYWOOD UNIVERSITY), MEGAN O'BRIEN (MARYWOOD UNIVERSITY), LYLAH MOSLEY (MARYWOOD UNIVERSITY), DANIEL KIMES (MARYWOOD UNIVERSITY) Neuroticism may moderate the relationship between mindful self-care (MSC) to burnout and emotional intelligence (EI) to burnout. Two-hundred and twentyfive adults participated in a survey regarding their participation in MSC and their levels of neuroticism, EI, and burnout. Results suggest that MSC and neuroticism each individually predict burnout, however neuroticism does not serve as a moderator. Further research should include more diverse samples, and could provide insight into targeted interventions and therapeutic techniques.POSTER 34MODERATING EFFECTS OF FOOD ADDICTION ON ROMANTIC AND SEXUAL SATISFACTIONJESSLYN MAGNER (ADELPHI UNIVERSITY), LAWRENCE JOSEPHS (ADELPHI UNIVERSITY) Addictive behavior can be associated with relationship problems. This study examined to what extent food addiction was associated with relationship and sexual satisfaction, while utilizing internalized weight stigma and BMI as possible moderators. Food addiction was negatively correlated with relationship satisfaction, but positively correlated with sexual satisfaction. Food addiction appears to moderate the positive association between relationship and sexual satisfaction, which suggests that food addiction may increase sexual satisfaction in ways antithetical to relationship satisfaction.POSTER 35NATURALISTIC OBSERVATION OF PARENT-CHILD INTERACTION IN THE UNITED STATES AND ITALYKARYNA FOWLER (BUCKNELL UNIVERSITY), MATTHEW BUCALOIU (BUCKNELL UNIVERSITY), CHRIS BOYATZIS (BUCKNELL UNIVERSITY) We tested cultural differences in physical closeness and affection between parents and young children in the U.S. and Italy by naturalistically observing mothers and fathers with young children in public spaces in both countries. Contrary to prediction, mothers did not differ in their close physical contact, affectionate touches, or attention with their children. U.S. fathers spent more time than Italian fathers in close physical contact with their children and were marginally more attentive.186
