14POSTER 67THE EFFICACY OF CREATIVE MEDIA IN ENHANCING SENSITIVITY TO CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIESNAVA SILTON (MARYMOUNT MANHATTAN COLLEGE), ZACHARY BIRON (MARYMOUNT MANHATTAN COLLEGE) Twenty-five students (14 male and 11 female) from an Elementary School in Manhattan, NY showed more disability-based knowledge and more positive cognitive attitudes towards a hypothetical peer with ADHD, Autism and Visual Disability following the reading of the full Realabilities Comic Book Series (12 comics) and viewing the aligned Musical. This intervention showed the promising benefits of the combination of both forms of media in enhancing fourth grade students' knowledge and cognitive attitudes towards disability.POSTER 68THE IMPACT OF CHILDHOOD ADVERSITIES AND PANDEMIC STRESSORS ON COLLEGE EXPERIENCESMANUELA PORTUGAL (LAGUARDIA COMMUNITY COLLEGE), ADRIANA RAMPERSHAD (LAGUARDIA COMMUNITY COLLEGE), SINDY KALAUCH (TEACHER'S COLLEGE), SALIH MANSUR (TOURO COLLEGE), FAHIM SARKER (LAGUARDIA COMMUNITY COLLEGE), LISA MALONEY (LAGUARDIA COMMUNITY COLLEGE), LARA BEATY (LAGUARDIA COMMUNITY COLLEGE) This ongoing study explores the relationship between college experiences, COVID-19 pandemic adversity, and different concepts of childhood adversity and college performance. 92 participants were recruited from First Year Seminars to complete a confidentialGoogle Survey that consisted of 99 questions, including Likert scale, checklists and open-ended questions. Key findings indicate that college problems significantly correlate to coping problems but not to any measure of adversity, contradicting previous research. Additional analysis will consider interactions.POSTER 69THE RECIPROCAL INFLUENCES OF TEMPERAMENT AND PARENTAL DEPRESSIONBRAYDEN ALEXIS (EASTERN CONNECTICUT STATE UNIVERSITY), T. CAITLIN VASQUEZ-O'BRIEN (EASTERN CONNECTICUT STATE UNIVERSITY), ELIZABETH RELLINGER ZETTLER (ILLINOIS COLLEGE) One's temperament has three dimensions: positive affectivity, negative affectivity, and effortful control (Rothbart & Bates, 2006). We hypothesized that parental depression and child temperament would reciprocally predict each other in a three-wave, crosslagged, model. Depressive symptoms and child's temperament were reported at three time points (N=145 family triads). Significant reciprocal interactions were found. Parent depression predicted increases in all three dimensions of temperament. Early childhood and middle childhood temperament predicted later scores of parent depression.POSTER 70THE ROLE OF ADOLESCENT LIFE STRESSORS IN RULE-VIOLATING BEHAVIORSMADISON LEMIRE (UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE), ELLEN COHN (UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE) The present study serves to add to the understanding of the influence adolescent life stress has on engagement in rule-violating behavior (RVB). Using waves 3-8 (n=435) from an ongoing 13-wave longitudinal study, we hypothesize that exposure to personal and/or external categories of life stressors will predict differences in engagement in RVB. Through preliminary analysis, we expect to find that our hypothesis is supported with personal stress predicting certain RVBs and external stress predicting other RVBs.POSTER 71THE ROLE OF YOUNG ADULTS' DEPRESSION IN COPARENTING EXPECTATIONS AND COCAREGIVING DYNAMICSREGINA KUERSTEN-HOGAN (ASSUMPTION UNIVERSITY), SINDI TANE (ASSUMPTION UNIVERSITY), SAMANTHA GOLEMO (ASSUMPTION UNIVERSITY) This study examined whether associations between parental depression and coparenting dynamics also exist in non-parents who develop expectations about their future coparenting relationship and practice cocaregiving. Undergraduate roommate pairs were observed during a simulated co-caregiving task with a computerized doll and their coparenting expectations were assessed via interviews. Findings indicated that non-parents experiencing more depressive symptoms held more negative expectations of their future coparenting relationship and demonstrated more antagonistic co-caregiving dynamics during the simulation task.POSTER 72UNDERSTANDING EARLY WORD KNOWLEDGE THROUGH DRAWINGS14
