The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate a single-session intervention program on emotion regulation flexibility in college students. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Researchers will compare the experimental group (Beary's GEM program) and the active control group (Sharing Feelings Project) to answer the first two research questions.

Exclusion Criteria:
Participants will complete a series of brief, structured activities that are designed to introduce and practice emotion regulation strategies and their flexibility.
Behavioral: Beary's GEM project
The Sharing Feeling Project will be administered as the placebo intervention for the active control group. This condition focuses on content that encourages participants to share feelings with people in their support circle.
Behavioral: Sharing Feelings Project
Participants in the experimental group will be directed to a digital, single-session intervention (Beary's GEM Project) that targets three aspects of emotion regulation flexibility: context sensitivity, repertoire, and feedback responsiveness.
Participants in the active control group will be directed to a digital single-session intervention (Sharing Feelings Project) aiming to encourage participants to share feelings with people in their support circle. However, unlike the experimental intervention, it does not teach a specific psychological mechanism (i.e., emotion regulation flexibility).
