60LILIA LIVOLSI (SIENA COLLEGE), KATLYN FARNUM (SIENA COLLEGE) As part of a larger study on workplace sexual harassment, comments left by 125 of the 288 participants were coded for case relevance and internal, external, controllable, and uncontrollable attributions about the plaintiff and defendant. Internal and controllable plaintiff attributions resulted in a greater proportion of pro-defendant verdicts and decreased pro-plaintiff verdict confidence. Conversely, external plaintiff attributions as well as internal and controllable defendant attributions increased proplaintiff verdicts and pro-plaintiff verdict confidence.POSTER 21AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL MEMORY FOR MUSICABIGAIL FARILLAS (COLLEGE OF MOUNT SAINT VINCENT), LILLIAN JUGASEK (UNIVERSITY OF MOUNT SAINT VINCENT), VICTORIA GAMARRA (UNIVERSITY OF MOUNT SAINT VINCENT), STEPHANIE BERGER (UNIVERSITY OF MOUNT SAINT VINCENT) We examined the relationship between memory for favorite songs of the year and autobiographical memory. In Part 1, participants recalled their top 5 most listened to songs for the year on their favorite music app and completed the Musical Self-Concept Inquiry. In Part 2, when year-end wraps are available, participants will report types of memories cued by their actual top 5 songs. We expect remembered songs to cue more personal memories, moderated by musical self-concept.POSTER 22AWE, PSYCHOLOGICAL RICHNESS, AND WELLBEING AMONG WEST POINT CADETSEMMA SOTTOS (U.S. ARMY), ELIZABETH WETZLER (UNITED STATES MILITARY ACADEMY), JOEL CARTWRIGHT (UNITED STATES MILITARY ACADEMY) This study investigates the relationship between dispositional awe, psychological richness, and wellbeing among West Point Cadets. We hypothesize that awe and psychological richness are positively correlated and predict expanded perceptions of time, preferences for experiential goods, and well-being. Using an experimental design, we will test whether inducing awe improves these outcomes in a highpressure context. Findings may highlight awe's potential as a psychological intervention, though generalizability and reliance on self-reports present limitations.POSTER 23BE-YOU-TIFUL: INVESTIGATING THE POWER OF IDENTITY IN TACKLING BODY DISSATISFACTIONKAYLEY TIGGES (BELMONT UNIVERSITY) Social media's promotion of unrealistic ideals has been linked to increased body dissatisfaction, but research on protective factors is limited. Previous studies suggest personal and cultural identity commitments may buffer these effects. This study examined these commitments role in the relationship between media pressures, internalization of appearance ideals, and dissatisfaction. Results indicated that, while media pressures and internalization increased body dissatisfaction, personal identity commitments were associated with lower dissatisfaction, highlighting their protective role.POSTER 24BEAUTIFUL NATURE PROMOTES FORGIVENESSTYANA BEY (FELICIAN UNIVERSITY), JULIANA BETANCOURT (FELICIAN UNIVERSITY), YERALDIN ABREU (FELICIAN UNIVERSITY), ARI'YANAH WHEELER (FELICIAN UNIVERSITY) Forgiveness is essential to individual and interpersonal well-being. Research has typically explored interpersonal and intrapersonal factors that promote forgiveness. Yet in our study, we examine the effects of the environment on forgiveness. We test for effects of beautiful nature on forgiveness. Beautiful nature has been shown to increase self-transcendent emotions, moving us out of ourselves, and increasing prosocial actions. As expected, more vs. less beautiful nature predicted an increased likelihood with which participants forgive transgressors.POSTER 25BEHAVIORAL AND NEURAL CORRELATES OF AFFECTIVE BIASURSULA HORN (SWARTHMORE COLLEGE), BRIAN METZGER (SWARTHMORE COLLEGE), JACQUELYN CROWLEY (SWARTHMORE COLLEGE) Affective bias (AB) posits that emotional perception is mood congruent. Research suggests AB is predictive of depression. However, the mechanisms of AB remain unknown. Behavioral and EEG data from fifty participants are analyzed to assess whether blocking images into single-valence blocks of happy or sad faces vs. mixed-valence blocks of both faces predicts depression. We also sought to identify the neural correlates of AB and expect N170 amplitude to predict depression severity and AB.60
