PRD is a chronic psycho-social stressor that has various subdimensions; however, it is unknown whether unique patterns of exposure to discrimination exist. In the current study, we sought to understand if race, age, or gender significantly predicted latent profile membershipPOSTER 65THE SCIENCE OF SLEEP AND SUCCESS: INSIGHTS FROM HBCU STUDENTSALEXANDRIA GREEN (MORGAN STATE UNIVERSITY), TENIYA PITTS (MORGAN STATE UNIVERSITY), NEFETARI DESCHAMPS (MORGAN STATE UNIVERSITY), AMBER HODGES (MORGAN STATE UNIVERSITY) This study examines the relationship between sleep quality, academic performance (GPA), and extracurricular involvement among African American college students. Using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), 100 undergraduates (50 male, 50 female) at Morgan State University were surveyed. Results reveal a negative correlation between poor sleep quality and GPA, and between extracurricular involvement and sleep disturbances. These findings emphasize the importance of addressing sleep health to enhance academic success and overall student wellbeing.POSTER 66TOWARDS AN INTERDISCIPLINARY MODEL FOR IDENTIFYING CHILDHOOD TRAUMA.EDWARD HILL (KUTZTOWN UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA), GREGORY SHELLEY (KUTZTOWN UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA) Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), a chronic occurrence rife with devastating long-term outcomes, plagues humanity. The present study sought to understand the perspectives taken by multiple disciplines (Psychology, Sociology, Medicine, Criminal Justice, and Communication Studies) by reviewing the literature in the area of ACE in each of these disciplines and by conducting interviews with experts in each of these fields. The results of this study provide a unified framework for recognizing childhood trauma.POSTER 67CHILDREN'S EVALUATION OF SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATIONS PROVIDED BY DIGITAL VOICE ASSISTANTS AND TEACHERSKARA BODE (FAIRFIELD UNIVERSITY), MELIA SWENSON (FAIRFIELD UNIVERSITY), ELIZABETH RUEL (FAIRFIELD UNIVERSITY), SONA KUMAR (PURDUE UNIVERSITY), AMANDA HABER (FAIRFIELD UNIVERSITY) Children acquire answers to science questions from both teachers and caregivers, as well as Digital Voice Assistants (DVAs: Siri, Alexa, Google Home). In a study of 141 children (aged 4-6), we investigated how the quality of an informant's explanation impacts children's trust in DVAs versus teachers through four phases. Results indicated that children preferred to direct scientific questions to DVAs, and, with age, children endorsed more noncircular rather than circular explanations provided by informants.POSTER 68EXPLORING GENDER TYPICALITY, BODY IMAGE, SELF-ESTEEM, AND LGBTQ+ IDENTITIES: INTERSECTIONS AND IMPLICATIONSABIGAIL HILL (BELMONT UNIVERSITY), JESSICA HOCKING (BELMONT UNIVERSITY) The current study examined relationships among identifying as LGB, gender typicality, self-esteem, body appreciation, body acceptance by others, and eating disorder symptomatology in a sample of 250 emerging adults. Results indicated significant associations among all study variables, that those identifying as LGB reported significantly lower feelings of gender typicality than the heterosexual participants, and that selfesteem mediated the relationship between identifying as LGB and eating disorder symptomatology. Implications of findings are discussed.POSTER 69EXTRACURRICULAR PARTICIPATION AND BURNOUT AMONG COLLEGE STUDENTSKEIRA ROACH (SUSQUEHANNA UNIVERSITY), PAIGE WEAVER, ASPEN COOPER, HELEN KISO (SUSQUEHANNA UNIVERSITY) 68
