Roundtable

Exploring Financial Well-Being: Intersections of Subjective Well-Being, Materialism, and Financial Skills Among African Americans

Tuesday October 21, 2025 1:00 PM - 1:45 PM ET (17:00 - 17:45 UTC)

Subject Area: Social Psychology

Abstract

This roundtable explores how subjective well-being, materialism, and financial skills interact to influence financial well-being in African Americans. Discussing findings from a large, representative dataset, we will consider implications for psychological science, policy, and interventions to foster financial stability and equity.

Roundtable

Roundtable: Proposed Longitudinal Study: Health-Related Labels, Stigma-Related Processes, and Resilience to Challenges in College Students

Tuesday October 21, 2025 1:00 PM - 1:45 PM ET (17:00 - 17:45 UTC)

Subject Area: Social Psychology

Abstract

The proposed longitudinal study is guided by Modified Labeling Theory. College students in the United States will be recruited via social media and will complete eight surveys across four years. Adoption and denial of health-related labels will be examined with internalized stigma, social identity threat, and resilience to challenges.

Roundtable

Solitude and Singlehood: Balancing the Need for Autonomy and Social Connection

Wednesday October 22, 2025 5:00 PM - 5:45 PM ET (21:00 - 21:45 UTC)

Subject Area: Social Psychology

Abstract

This roundtable explores several explanations behind rising trends in solitude and singlehood. Through discussing how individual characteristics, life experiences, and structural factors may shape these choices, we invite reflection on how researchers can represent these shifts without reinforcing stigma, overlooking loneliness, or reducing them to personal preference alone.

Roundtable

From Compliance to Connection: Innovative Educational Approaches for Neurodivergent Learners

Wednesday October 22, 2025 7:00 PM - 7:45 PM ET (23:00 - 23:45 UTC)

Subject Area: Social Psychology

Abstract

This panel explores belonging-centered educational approaches for neurodivergent learners through international case studies. Integrating the Interpersonal Whole-Brain Model of Care®, Scotland's NISS project, and The Beautiful Collective's framework, we examine how strength-based interventions create inclusive environments where neurological differences become valued community assets rather than deficits.

Roundtable

Psychology at War: Theoretical, Methodological, and Ethical Consequences of the Discipline’s Peacetime Bias

Wednesday October 22, 2025 7:00 PM - 7:45 PM ET (23:00 - 23:45 UTC)

Subject Area: Social Psychology

Abstract

Psychology has a peacetime bias; our field largely neglects civilian populations experiencing war. This peacetime bias has theoretical, methodological, and ethical consequences. Our roundtable seeks to explore concrete next steps in collaboratively developing psychological research and theories that address the pressing challenges faced by civilians living through war and conflict.

Roundtable

Shielded Childhoods: How Innocence Shapes Racial and Gender Socialization

Thursday October 23, 2025 9:00 AM - 9:45 AM ET (13:00 - 13:45 UTC)

Subject Area: Social Psychology

Abstract

In this roundtable, we discuss parental construction and regulation  of childhood innocence. Using mixed-methods studies, we document multiple dimensions of parental regulation of childhood innocence, and demonstrate its relation to ethnic-racial and gender socialization. broader implications for how children are prepared—or shielded—from engaging with social realities and inequalities.

Roundtable

Emotion in Overdrive: Regulating Affect Under Cognitive Load in the Digital Age

Thursday October 23, 2025 9:00 AM - 9:45 AM ET (13:00 - 13:45 UTC)

Subject Area: Social Psychology

Abstract

I present empirical evidence that increased cognitive load during digital multitasking impairs emotion regulation. Using EEG, pupillometry, and ecological momentary assessments, we find that mindfulness-based digital prompts significantly enhance regulatory success. Findings inform cognitive-affective theory and the development of adaptive interventions in digitally demanding environments.

Roundtable

The Gender-Equality Paradox: Establishing Agreed-upon Criteria for Evaluating Competing Theories

Thursday October 23, 2025 11:00 AM - 11:45 AM ET (15:00 - 15:45 UTC)

Subject Area: Social Psychology

Abstract

This roundtable explores whether an a priori consensus can be reached regarding the empirical criteria that support or falsify competing accounts of the gender-equality paradox. By clarifying theoretical disagreements and identifying relevant data sources, the discussion aims to advance collaborative research and deepen understanding of gender differences across cultural contexts.
