This study analyzes practice tests by AI with Bloom's Taxonomy as a determinate of the domains assessed by each exam. Results indicated highest frequency of questions in the lowest domain (remembering) and decreased number of questions in the highest domain (create), decreasing in a stepwise pattern. This pattern was consistent throughout all preparatory exams.POSTER 16ANXIETY, TRUST, AND SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC FACTORS: EFFECTS ON COLLEGE STUDENTS' HEALTHCARE UTILIZATIONEVAN CURTIS (SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT STATE UNIVERSITY), BEATRIZ ROCHA DE FREITAS (SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT STATE UNIVERSITY), CHRISTOPHER BUDNICK (SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT STATE UNIVERSITY), MICHAEL NIZHNIKOV (SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT STATE UNIVERSITY) This study examines the relationships between anxiety, trust in healthcare professionals, and healthcare utilization among college students, focusing on the influence of demographic factors. We explore how anxiety correlates with healthcare utilization, including doctor visits and routine care avoidance, and how trust in doctors correlates with healthcare utilization. Additionally, we consider how demographic factors such as political beliefs, socioeconomic status, and insurance moderate these relationships, providing insight into diverse healthcare behaviors among anxious students.POSTER 17ASEXUAL SPECTRUM PERSPECTIVES ON ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS: BOUNDARIES, EMOTIONAL CONNECTIONS, AND NORMATIVE EXPECTATIONSMALIA GADY (CLARK UNIVERSITY) Author: Malia Gady This study examines how individuals on the asexual spectrum navigate and conceptualize romantic relationships, addressing a gap in research. Using a Qualtrics survey with twenty to thirty-five participants, it explores relationship dynamics and how those without such experience envision romantic relationships. The study aims to raise awareness about asexuality while highlighting the experiences of individuals who desire romantic connections. Potential insights include fostering an understanding of diverse romantic perspectives.POSTER 18ASSOCIATIONS OF EMOTIONS AND ATHLETIC MOTIVATION THROUGH MUSICJAMES HOOGSTRATEN (COLBY COLLEGE), JACKSON ALVORD (COLBY COLLEGE), SELAH BARRETT (COLBY COLLEGE), SAWYER BUSNY (COLBY COLLEGE), ERIN SHEETS (COLBY COLLEGE) Music is often used in athletics to elicit emotions, but little research has compared the motivation elicited by different genres of music. A sample of 110 athletes listened to different music genres while envisioning athletic activities and then rated their motivation and related emotions. Key findings suggest that dominance and less relaxation within songs are essential to influence athletic motivation across athletic activities. These findings demonstrate which music qualities enhance athletic motivation to improve performance.POSTER 19ATHLETES SEEKING HELP: EXAMINING PRESSURE, SELF-STIGMA, MENTAL TOUGHNESS, AND RACEAMILYA BRYANT (BELMONT UNIVERSITY), JESSICA HOCKING (BELMONT UNIVERSITY) The present study explores barriers to mental health help-seeking among athletes, focusing on mental toughness, perceived external pressures, self-stigma, and race. Data from 243 athletes revealed mental toughness positively influenced help-seeking intentions but was negatively correlated with perceived pressures and self-stigma. Self-stigma moderated the relationship between mental toughness and helpseeking intentions, while mental toughness did not significantly interact with perceived external pressuresto predict help-seeking intentions. Non-White athletes exhibited higher mental toughness and help-seeking intentions.POSTER 20ATTRIBUTION THEORY AND ITS APPLICATION TO WORKPLACE SEXUAL HARASSMENT LIABILITY59Friday, March 7
