This study looks at how the way people speak-like their tone, pitch, and pauses-can affect how others feel about what they are saying. We're especially interested in understanding how these speech patterns are used in political messages to influence people's opinions. To learn more, we're asking people to listen to short audio clips and tell us how they feel about the voices they hear. This will help us figure out how sound alone, even without understanding the words, can shape opinions.

In patients undergoing rotator cuff tear repair surgery, there is a correlation between poor psychological function before surgery and worsening of post-intervention outcomes, such as persistence of postoperative pain intensity and worse levels of function/disability. There is a need to address these poor responses prior to and after surgery to improve outcomes. Psychological skills training is a component of psychologically informed practice, which encompasses managing emotions, building confidence, goal-setting, enhancing motivation, and addressing injury-related fear. It is unknown if psychological skills training is a feasible and acceptable way to address these unfavorable responses after rotator cuff repair surgery. Prior to conducting large clinical trials assessing the efficacy of psychological skills training interventions, a proof of concept study is needed to determine if patients find psychological skills training as feasible, acceptable, and appropriate during their recovery from rotator cuff repair surgery.
