326-01: Parental Autonomy Support and College Students' Well-Being: The Mediating Role of Self-Efficacy and Perceived Academic Control
Xiaoyu Fu, Woosang Hwang, Eunjoo Jung

Summary
We examined whether maternal and paternal autonomy support are positively related to college students' well-being. In addition, we tested whether college students' self-efficacy and perceived academic control mediate the above associations. We surveyed488 undergraduate students at a private university in New York State. Using structural equation modeling analysis, we found that college students' perceived maternal autonomy was positively and indirectly related to college students' well-being through increasing their self-efficacy and academic control. Although college students' perceived paternal autonomy support was not associated with self-efficacy or perceived academic control, it was positively and directly related to college students' well-being. Our findings support appeals for prevention and intervention programs that are designed to enhance parenting practices that support autonomy as a means of enhancing college students' well-being.

Objectives
-- To assess the influence of parental autonomy support on college students' well-being.
-- To examine the mediating effect of college students' self-efficacy on the association between parental autonomy support and their well-being.
-- To investigate the mediating effect of college students' perceived academic control on the relationship between parental autonomy support and their well-being.

326-02: College Student Health and Flourishing in Structurally Diverse Families: Considering the Role of Family Functioning, Finances, and Access to Mentorship
Luke Russell, Chang Su-Russell

Summary
Broad demographic trends in divorce, repartnering, and stepfamily living mean today's college students have come of age in a context of immensely diverse and evolving family structures. It is not clear, however, whether other social institutions (e.g., schools, government programs and policies) have adapted to this changed social reality. Through the use of a multigroup analysis in a structural equation modeling framework, this investigation evaluated whether the maintenance of functional family relationships, access to mentors, and family financial resources are beneficial to health, well-being and academic performance (a) in general among the college student population, and (b) particularly for students reared in structurally diverse families. Findings from this study can provide important information to assist those seeking to support students living in contemporary families.

Objectives
-- To evaluate associations between functional family relationships, access to mentors, and family financial resources with college student health, flourishing, and GPA
-- To analyze variations in associations between functional family relationships, access to mentors, and family financial resources with college student health, flourishing, and GPA on the basis of family structure
-- To demonstrate the importance of targeting health and well-being interventions with attention to aspects of family structure, family process, and larger social contexts

Subject Codes: family structure, family functioning, well-being
Population Codes: emerging/young adulthood, undergraduate students, U.S.
Method and Approach Codes: quantitative methodology, structural equation modeling (SEM), resilience

326-03: Accessing Social Capital Among College Students in Addiction Recovery: The Role of Daily Contact With Family, Peers, Partners, and Sponsors
Kyler Knapp, Hannah Apsley, H. Cleveland, Kitty Harris

Summary
A growing number of institutions are establishing Collegiate Recovery Communities (CRCs) to support students' recovery from substance use disorders by helping build networks of supportive relationships and other forms of social capital. The current study utilized daily reports from members of a CRC to understand how students draw upon support from family, romantic partners, sponsors, and peers on days when recovery maintenance is more challenging. Results indicated that on more challenging days,students had more contact with family and were more likely to contact sponsors and have recovery-focused conversations with those sponsors. Further, more daily contact with family was specific to recovery maintenance challenges, above and beyond days with high negative affect and school stress. Thus, the family appears to be an important source of social capital on days when students are struggling more with their recoveries.

Objectives
-- To evaluate the role that families play in supporting the recovery of their young adult child.
-- To demonstrate the utility of a diary design for capturing daily interactions of young adults with their families and other important individuals in their social network, especially on days when young adults report more recovery maintenance challenges.
-- To analyze whether or not college students in recovery draw upon support from family on more challenging recovery days specifically, or whether they also report more daily contact with family on days when they experience higher negative affect or higher amounts of school stress that is not specific to recovery maintenance.

326-04: Family Recovery: A Journey of College Students and Their Families
Leah Pylate, Alisha Hardman, Laura Downey, Joe Wilmoth, Lori Elmore-Staton

Summary
A Collegiate Recovery Program (CRP) can provide persons in recovery from alcohol or other drugs an opportunity to attend college. While there is evidence that CRPs are valuable to higher education, less is known about the role of families in connection to a CRP. Using a multi-case study approach five college students and their family members were interviewed about the recovery process. Findings from this qualitative study regarding what role the family played in the recovery process for a college student in recovery will be addressed. While the family recovered with the individual, outside support was crucial in the recovery process.

Objectives
-- To increase knowledge of Collegiate Recovery Programs.
-- To review the role of the family in the recovery process for a college student.
-- To describe the connection of Collegiate Recovery Programs and families navigating a recovery process

Subject Codes: addiction, wellness, family processes
Population Codes: undergraduate students, substance use/abuse

CANCELLED PAPER - 326-05: Perceived Stress and Psychosocial Well-Being Among Emerging Adults: Mediated-Moderated Effects of Coping Resources and Gender
Chih-Yuan Steven Lee, Sara Goldstein, Rebecca Madson

Facilitator: Jordan Arellanes

Summary
In a large, ethnically diverse sample of emerging adults (N=667; Age Range:18-25), the current study examines how perceived stress relates to psychosocial well-being (depressive symptoms and loneliness), directly and indirectly through two coping resources (self-esteem and self-efficacy). Moderated mediation by gender and social support was also explored. Using PROCESS (Hayes, 2017), results show that stress was directly associated with well-being, that both self-esteem and self-efficacy mediated the association of stress with depressive symptoms, and that self-esteem mediated the relationship between stress and loneliness. Gender moderated the direct relationship of stress to depressive symptoms; the relationship was greater in women. Gender and social support moderated the relationship of self-esteem and depressive symptoms; social support moderated the relationships between stress and loneliness, and between self-esteem and loneliness.

Objectives
-- To examine the direct relationship between perceived stress and psychosocial well-being.
-- To investigate the mediating role of two coping resources (self-esteem and self-efficacy) in the relationship proposed above.
-- To explore the moderation effects of social support and gender in the mediating relationships proposed above.
