While findings support this, our results suggest that prevention of relapse is at least partially dependent on deflation occurring in the same context as training when using a delay fear conditioning procedure.8:45am %u2013 8:55amRENEWAL OF CONDITIONED FEAR FOLLOWING EXTINCTION OR COUNTERCONDITIONINGSAMANTHA MORIARTY (UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT), EMILY ROCCO (UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT), NEIL WINTERBAUER (UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT), TRAVIS TODD (UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT) Conditioned fear responses that have been reduced via extinction are apt to return when the conditioned stimulus is presented outside of the context where extinction occurred. Here we show that renewal of conditioned fear in a third context is not modulated by biological sex, nor cycling ovarian hormones. In addition, these variables have no impact on renewal after counterconditioning. A final experiment demonstrates that renewal is present and equally strong after either extinction or counterconditioning.Friday, March 7, 20258:00am %u2013 9:00am Paper ZiegfeldSOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY PAPERS: IDENTITY & PREJUDICEFriday, March 7, 20258:00am %u2013 9:00amCHAIR: ALEXANDRA GARR-SCHULTZ 8:00am %u2013 8:10amWRESTLING WITH IDENTITY: THE EXPERIENCES OF NON-HETEROSEXUAL MEN IN COMBAT SPORTSTYSON KREIGER (UTICA UNIVERSITY) This study explores the experiences of nonheterosexual men in combat sports. Through semistructured interviews with 14 participants, several key themes emerged: addressing struggles with masculinity, physical development, fostering community, and sexual exploration. Involvement in combat sports enhanced self-confidence, constructed friendships, and provided opportunities for personal growth despite risks of injury and safety concerns. These findings contribute to research on diversity within sports and expand understanding of masculinity and identity in LGBTQ+ contexts.8:15am %u2013 8:25amNONBINARY PEOPLE'S RESPONSES TO GENDER BINARY LANGUAGE IN JOB ADVERTISEMENTSMEGAN MCCARTY (INDEPENDENT), LILY BRYANT (SIMMONS UNIVERSITY) Nonbinary adults were randomly assigned to read a job advertisement using language assuming a gender binary (e.g., he or she) or not (e.g., they). Consistent with hypotheses and previous research on the masculine generic, participants felt more excluded and perceived their potential coworkers as more prejudiced towards nonbinary people when reading exclusive as opposed to inclusive language. However, participants were similarly interested in applying to the position regardless of language condition.8:30am %u2013 8:40amTHE EFFECT OF CULTURAL FRAMESWITCHING ON PERCEPTIONS OF JOB FITSABRINA PICCOLO (NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY), ANALIA ALBUJA (NORTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY) Multicultural people may frameswitch, or adjust their behaviors depending on the cultural contexts they are in. Our previous studies showed that people tend to perceive Multicultural people who frameswitch as less decisive and sometimes less creative than those who do not frameswitch. However, the present study shows that people tend to perceive those who frameswitch as better suited for highly decisive and creative jobs than those who do not frameswitch.8:45am %u2013 8:55amEXTENDING GENDER-BASED PSYCHOLOGY TO INCLUDE COMMUNITIES OF COLOR: INTERSECTIONAL GENDER ROLES18
