Can Dungeons & Dragons Make You A Confident & Successful Person?


How do we measure confidence and success?

Possible venues:
  • Academic performance, academic Engagement, motivation and honesty (?)
  • Books, books and books 
  • Media habits and preferences
  • Narrative simulation, understanding, (topics that we can pry out of Dan's class)
  • Big Five Personality Traits, pretty sure openness to experience is a big positive
  • Creativity, adaptability to novel situations, problem solving abilities
  • Coping skills (emotion-focused versus problem-focused)
  • Uncertainty tolerance (I don't know how)
  • Civic engagement (clubs, political discussion, etc.)

Speaking of D&D, what can we say about Fantasy Football?
