PREDICTORS OF PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING AMONG LATINXS: AN ECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS APPROACH<br />
</strong>ALEJANDRO LEGUIZAMO, MACKENZIE RAMSAY, IRENE SANCHEZ (ROGER WILLIAMS UNIVERSITY)<br />
While psychological well-being has been studied with respected to diverse samples, research has tended to focus on individual variables. Utilizing Bronfenbrenner&#39;s (1977) Ecological Systems Model, we explored predictors of psychological well-being for a Latinx community sample. Our findings supported the use of the Ecological Model and of the importance of including community and societal variables in this line of research.<br />

ADULTS WITH AUTISM DISCUSS THEIR EXPERIENCE OF FOREIGN LANGUAGE LEARNING<br />
</strong>CATHERINE CALDWELL-HARRIS, TIFFANY MCGLOWAN, MEGHAN GARRITY, SHIRUI CHEN (BOSTON UNIVERSITY)<br />
Little is known about how persons with autism spectrum conditions acquire foreign languages. To augment the literature with the experiences of autistic persons, trained raters coded forum posts for categories such as method of learning, number of languages, and outcomes of learnings. Relative to posters writing on non-ASC websites, those with autism reported being being self-taught, being a polyglot, having a special interest in learning language.<br />

PSYCHOSOCIAL MEDIATORS AND MODERATORS OF THE GENDER DIFFERENCE IN ELDER DEPRESSION<br />
</strong>KAITE YANG, CHRISTINE FERRI (STOCKTON UNIVERSITY), JOAN GIRGUS (PRINCETON UNIVERSITY)<br />
It is unclear which psychosocial factors predict the gender difference in depression in older adults (Girgus, Yang & Ferri, 2017). Baseline ORANJ BOWL panel data from 3008 participants (>59) revealed that women had significantly more negative mood and depressive symptoms, lower life satisfaction, functional ability, physical health, financial comfort, and income, but more social support than men (p&rsquo;s<.02). Significant moderation and mediation effects by psychosocial predictors were found for depression, negative mood, and life satisfaction.</span>
