76WHITE WOMEN'S PERSONAL SAFETY DECISIONS WHEN ENCOUNTERING BLACK VS. WHITE MENSU-YUE WANG (CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK, GRADUATE CENTER), KERRY O'BRIEN (CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK, GRADUATE CENTER), CATHERINE GOOD (CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK, BARUCH COLLEGE) The current study explores white women's personal safety decisions when facing Black versus white men. White women will be exposed to articles discussing varying levels of gender-based violence (GBV) and then complete a task measuring whether they choose to cross the street or continue straight when walking past a Black or white man. We predict that participants will avoid Black men more than white men; this effect will remain despite orienting participants to GBV.POSTER 8UNIVERSITY RESPONSES TO BIAS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR IMPRESSIONS AND BELONGINGJOHN RAYCROFT (BRYANT UNIVERSITY), MAYA NIEMEYER (BRYANT UNIVERSITY), MELANIE MAIMON (BRYANT UNIVERSITY) This study investigated how universities address campus bias and affect feelings of identity safety for LGBTQIA+ adults. While a manipulation of university responses to bias did not affect participants, we found that the more that participants perceived the university's bias response to be thorough, the higher their expected belonging, the less bias they anticipated, and the more they perceived the university to be honest about diversity efforts. Participants preferred restorative and educational sanctions for bias.POSTER 9FLOURISHING AMONG PEOPLE WITH LOWER LIMB AMPUTATIONYASMEEN NAJJAR (UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAVEN, CT), LILLIE MACIAS (UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAVEN) The loss of a lower limb has been shown to detrimentally affect well-being, however few studies have explored people's ability to thrive and flourish with lower limb amputation. This mixed-method study reports on preliminary findings of a systematic reviewand three focus groups with lower limb amputees scheduled in spring =2025. A deductive thematic analysis of transcripts explores key domains of flourishing, including happiness, meaning and purpose, and social relationships.POSTER 10\ KNOW AND BE KNOWN\AS A BISEXUALJULIA MACEY (MONMOUTH UNIVERSITY), GARY LEWANDOWSKI (MONMOUTH UNIVERSITY) Feeling known by one's romantic partner positively facilitates relationship satisfaction. The present study investigated bisexual individuals' sense of feeling known in their romantic relationships. Participants reported feeling more known when they indicated a lower degree of negative identity attitudes and concealment stress, but did not report feeling more known when they indicated a higher degree of positive identity attitudes. Findings suggest that bisexuals cannot feel known by their partners when preoccupied with unsafe psychological circumstances.POSTER 11\ IS ALWAYS ON AFAB PEOPLE\SPERM-TARGETING CONTRACEPTIVESTHERESA JACKSON (BRIDGEWATER STATE UNIVERSITY) The purpose of this research was to explore LGBTQ+ participants' perceptions and willingness to try three new sperm-targeting contraceptives. Qualitative interviews with 13 participants revealed a continued perception that people who have a uterus should have relief from the primary responsibility for contraceptives; however, people who produce sperm might be resistant to accepting products altering their bodies. Results highlighted how social messaging should address these concerns to promote these new products.POSTER 12A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY OF SELFPROTECTION STRATEGIES AMONG US ADULTSELIZABETH MAYER (RHODE ISLAND HOSPITAL, BROWN UNIVERSITY HEALTH), LINDSAY ORCHOWSKI (DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHIATRY AND HUMAN BEHAVIOR, ALPERT MEDICAL SCHOOL OF BROWN), DARLENE DEFOUR (DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY, HUNTER COLLEGE, CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK), JOCELYN HOLLANDER (DEPARTMENT OF SOCIOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF OREGON), CLEA SARNQUIST (DEPARTMENT OF PEDIATRICS, STANFORD UNIVERSITY), CHARLENE SENN (DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF WINDSOR), MEG STONE (EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, IMPACT BOSTON), MARTHA THOMPSON (DEPARTMENT OF SOCIOLOGY AND DEPARTMENT OF WOMEN'S STUDIES, NORTHEASTERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY) 76
