We used latent class analysis to identify four distinct subgroups of chemically restrained patients based on demographic and clinical characteristics. We found differences by class in the medications used to chemically restrain and the rates of concomitant physical restraint. These findings have implications for interventions to reduce the need for chemical restraint.POSTER 77POSITIVE & NEGATIVE INTERPERSONAL EXPERIENCES, MENTAL HEALTH AMONG BLACK AND LATINO ADULTSMUMIN RABGIE (RUTGERS UNIVERSITY-CAMDEN), KRISTIN AUGUST (RUTGERS UNIVERSITY), MEI FU (UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI), ZEYUAN QIU (NEW JERSEY INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY) Mental health challenges are prevalent among Black and Latino adults, shaped by cultural and systemic factors. Using survey data from 453 Black and Latino adults, we examined the association between social support, social isolation (objective and subjective), and interpersonal violence with mental health. Loneliness and interpersonal violence predicted depressive symptoms; loneliness and social support predicted anxious symptoms. Race/ethnicity moderated the relationship between interpersonal violence and anxiety symptoms. Loneliness had the strongest association with both outcomes.POSTER 78JUSTICE IS BLIND: IMPACT OF BLIND JUROR ON LAY-ATTORNEYS' COURTROOM ARGUMENTSJESSIE ZHOU (SMITH COLLEGE), CADENCE DORRIAN (SMITH COLLEGE), LU CHI ZHANG (SMITH COLLEGE), YAEL GRANOT (SMITH COLLEGE) This study examined how including blind jurors influences lay-attorneys' communication. Participants crafted arguments in a mock murder trial; half were told one of the jurors was blind. We analyzed the language they used. In the presence of a blind juror,participants used less negative emotional language, more logical language, and fewer details going beyond the facts given. These findings suggest that blind jurors may enhance courtroom communication by prioritizing evidence-based arguments over emotionalappeal.POSTER 79PROTECTIVE BUFFERING IN THE CONTEXT OF MILITARY DEPLOYMENTS: INDIVIDUAL AND RELATIONAL PREDICTORSIAN LORAND (ADELPHI UNIVERSITY), CHRISTINA MARINI (ADELPHI UNIVERSITY) This study examines individual and relational predictors of significant others' (SOs) use of protective buffering as a relationship maintenance strategy with their deployed partners. The sample included 36 such couples, and data were taken before and during deployment. Findings indicate that SOs are inclined to employ protective buffering when they experience higher levels of depressive symptoms and lower levels of friend support. Prevention targets may therefore include addressing social support and depressive symptoms before deployment.Friday, March 7, 202510:20am %u2013 11:20am Paper OdetsLEARNING PAPERS: CHOICEFriday, March 7, 202510:20am %u2013 11:20amCHAIR: DAVID KEARNS10:20am %u2013 10:30amCHOOSING BETWEEN CHOICES: A NEW RAT MODEL OF HEROIN TAKINGDAVID KEARNS (AMERICAN UNIVERSITY), FELIPE REGO (AMERICAN UNIVERSITY) The validity of animal models of drug taking has been questioned because subjects have little control over the choices they can make. The present study explored a model wherein rats could choose between two choice situations: one where heroin was cheap and sucrose expensive, and another where sucrose was cheap and heroin expensive. Heroin and sucrose taking depended on both the initial situation presented to rats and the cost of switching to the other situation.10:35am %u2013 10:45amRATS DO NOT PRE-CRASTINATEADAM FOX (ST.
