Blog # 13

I'm interested in writers' confidence. I want to evaluate what factors contribute to students' confidence as writers. What variables affect confidence increase? What variables affect confidence decrease? How to measure confidence; what are the terms of measurement? what demographic population of writers shows a general trend of increased confidence? what demographic population of writers shows a general trend of decreased confidence? What type of writing assignments contribute to confidence or the lack thereofimproved performance as a result of confidence?

The literature I have looked at is as follows:

Jay Parini, "A writing teacher is like a psychoanalyst, only less well paid"

"Detente in Psychotherapy?" by LEONARD D. GOODSTEIN

Murphy, "Freud in the Writing Center"
