BUDNICK (SOUTHERN CONNECTICUT STATE UNVIERSITY) Previous research highlights job insecurity as a significant stressor, negatively affecting psychological well-being, job attitudes, and behavior, while also impairing well-being and job performance. This research explores the complex relationship between job insecurity, work-life balance, social connections, and sleep quality, examines the interactions between these factors and their impact on individual overall well-being. By investigating these interactions, the research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the broader consequences of job insecurity.POSTER 76NEURODIVERGENCE AND SELF-STIGMA: THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SELF-STIGMA AND FUNCTIONINGPIPER SMITH (FORDHAM UNIVERSITY), RACHEL ANNUNZIATO (FORDHAM UNIVERSITY) Neurodiversity celebrates the diversity of human bodyminds; this approach emphasizes societal accommodation to improve the disabled experience (McGee, 2012). Self-stigma among neurodiverse individuals can lower self-esteem and hinder healthcare utilization (Corrigan et al., 2012; Marion et al., 2023). This study at Fordham University found a moderate positive correlation between self-stigma and impairment in functioning. Thematic analysis revealed that acceptance of neurodivergence takes time, societal stigma is a barrier, and community support fosters acceptance.POSTER 77PARENTAL FINANCIAL SOCIALIZATION AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO STUDENT FINANCIAL LITERACY AND DEBTALEX J. VALERY (BUFFALO STATE UNIVERSITY), JILL M. NORVILITIS (BUFFALO STATE UNIVERSITY) This study investigating how parental role modeling, parental teaching, and parental preparedness influence college students' financial confidence, well-being, and debt levels. Additionally, the study examined the impact of socioeconomic status on students' financial self-confidence, financial well-being, and the amount of debt. Results indicate that while socioeconomic status plays a role, parental involvement is a stronger predictor of financial confidence and well-being. Students with engaged parents report higher financial security and limited impact on debt.POSTER 78PHYSIOLOGICAL CORRELATES OF ATTENTION TO FACIAL GESTURES IN 6- TO 9-WEEK-OLDSPEARLINA TRAN (UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT), KELSEY DAVINSON (UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT), LAUREN J. BRYANT (SACRED HEART UNIVERSITY), KIMBERLY CUEVAS (UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT) Attention to faces is critical for social and cognitive development during early infancy. This study investigates whether a physiological measure, heart rate (HR), might reflect variations in 6%u2013 to 9-weekolds' attention during a live, non-screen-based dyadic assessment. Infants observed nonsocial (still vs. spinning disk) and social stimuli (neutral vs. dynamic face). Findings will reveal whether patterns of HR vary as a function of stimulus type during the second postnatal month, potentially reflecting early attentional engagement.POSTER 79PASSING THE TORCH: PARENTING STYLES ON EMERGING ADULTS' ATTITUDES TOWARDS FAMILY RITUALSJULIA RIFKIN (ITHACA COLLEGE), ROBIN LIVNEY (ITHACA COLLEGE), DANIEL BOOTH (ITHACA COLLEGE), AMANDA FAHERTY (ITHACA COLLEGE) For this study, we examined how the parenting style in childhood and adolescence predicts emerging adults' attitudes toward family rituals and the continuation of family rituals in emerging adulthood. We also explored if their perception of rituals affects their general wellbeing, and if their perception of their parents' attitudes towards rituals affects the chance of participants continuing said rituals. Finally, we explored how racialethnic groups and immigration status affects emerging adults' attitudes toward rituals.POSTER 80PHENOMENA OF A MALIGNANT ENTITY: TOXIC BEHAVIOR IN COMPETITIVE ONLINE VIDEO GAMES70
