As written equation 13 makes no sense: the term (Vmax -Vmax) is always zero. I suspect that one of these symbols is wrong, as hinted by the text in the next paragraph

Also, participants did not perform the trick/rapport skill each day. They were given surveys to fill out each day. The 19 participants did their skill only once or more over the course of the entire week
