MISSION

1) To clearly establish, through rigorous scientific testing, the
therapeutic and educational effects of all forms of role-playing gaming
(tabletop, live-action, & computer-based) on participants. In addition
to determining the potential relevance of correlated factors,
significant emphasis is focused contributing to the body of causal
research information.

2) Based on established research, using relevant evidence-based and
theory-based approaches, design, develop, and implement intervention
programs using various forms of role-playing games as a therapeutic
and/or educational modality.
