189Mindfulness is a well-established mode of treatment for depression and anxiety with ancient Buddhist roots. While originally a religious practice, its diagnostic- and treatment-oriented teachings surrounding suffering have lent themselves to modern Western psychology. In addition to mindfulness, Buddhism prescribes the interconnected practices of non-attachment, impermanence, lovingkindness, and compassion. This study explores the addition of these practices to mindfulness and their effects on depression, anxiety, and stress levels.POSTER 47RELATIONS BETWEEN THE FIVE FACTOR MODEL AND ANTISOCIAL PERSONALITY DISORDERGABRIELA SOLIS (SUNY CORTLAND), MIRANDA ALDRICH (SUNY CORTLAND), SEBASTIAN PATINO (SUNY CORTLAND), NICOLETTE DECICCO (SUNY CORTLAND), ALEXANDRA VIZGAITIS (SUNY CORTLAND) The Five Factor Model (FFM) has been applied to personality pathology, including antisocial personality disorder (ASPD). We examined links between FFM trait domains and ASPD in a sample of N = 305 university students. We measured FFM domains and ASPD via self-report using the DSM-5-TR model and the Alternative Model for Personality Disorders (AMPD). Results showed FFM trait domains predicted substantial variance in ASPD, with agreeableness and conscientiousness as the strongest (negative) predictors.POSTER 48RESEARCHING THE PERSEVERATION SKILLS OF LANGUAGE IN BILINGUAL COLLEGE STUDENTSCAMILA VASQUEZ (WILLIAM PATERSON UNIVERSITY OF NEW JERSEY), AMY LEARMONTH (WILLIAM PATERSON UNIVERSITY) Bilingual college students experiencing instruction in only one language (English) were asked when they first learned their two languages, how often they speak the second language, and their language proficiency in speaking, understanding, and reading. Analyses compared students self-reported proficiency as well as if English was their dominant language. Results showed mostly equivalent proficiency ratings. The only significant finding was students reporting English was not their dominant language reported lower English reading proficiency.POSTER 49RHYTHMS OF REDUCTION: HARNESSING MUSIC FOR EMOTIONAL REGULATIONAINSLEY BONANG (COLBY COLLEGE), KAYA ROBIN (COLBY COLLEGE), CAROLINE TURNER (COLBY COLLEGE), SAMUEL XUE (COLBY COLLEGE), ERIN SHEETS (COLBY COLLEGE) Music can be used as a strategy for anxiety reduction, with some styles of music more effective in reducing anxiety than others. A sample of 130 college students completed an anxiety elicitation followed by listening to a music sample varying in valence (positive vs. negative) and arousal (high vs. low). All four styles of music significantly reduced participants' anxiety, and participants who were assigned the calm music (lowarousal, positive-valence) experienced the greatest reduction in anxiety.POSTER 50SAVING TIME: COGNITIVE ABILITY AND COMPREHENDING SPED-UP EDUCATIONAL VIDEOSMAX WALSH (UNITED STATES MILITARY ACADEMY), LISA KORENMAN (UNITED STATES MILITARY ACADEMY) This study examined how video playback speed affects learning, considering the role of cognitive ability. Participants watched a TED Talk at different speeds and then took a comprehension quiz and an IQ test. We predicted comprehension would decline at faster speeds, but higher-IQ individuals would maintain better understanding. These findings will shed light on how technology and individual cognitive abilities interact to shape learning, especially in customizing digital learning and interventions.POSTER 51SES AND GENDER HOMOPHILY ACROSS GRADESCLAIRE GALLION (VASSAR COLLEGE), ALLAN CLIFTON (VASSAR COLLEGE) People tend to be drawn toward others similar to them when forming relationships. There is little research about socioeconomic status and gender homophily and their interactions in social network research. The current study seeks to fill in these gaps. We collected our data in three waves, asking students questions about demographic information, their relationships with other students, etc. This research may help to further understanding of SES and gender homophilyPOSTER 52SOCIAL CONNECTION AND DAILY ACTIVITY: IT'S INFLUENCE ON LONELINESS AND LIFE SATISFACTION189Saturday, March 8
