About this trial

This project has two primary aims: 1) to develop a single session intervention to understand different forms of self-evaluation with input from young adults, and 2) to examine whether a single session can improve the ways in which young adults measure their self-importance with a session led by a trained masters-level therapist. Eligible participants will complete a baseline questionnaire, a therapeutic session online, and follow-up questionnaires.
