Abstract:	We present the preliminary results of a detailed theoretical investigation on the pulsation properties and modal stability of red supergiant (RSG) stars at solar chemical composition and for stellar masses ranging from 10 to 20 Msolar. We find that the main parameter governing their pulsation behavior is the effective temperature, and indeed when moving from the blue edge toward lower effective temperatures the models show an increase in the pulsation amplitudes. For temperatures cooler than 3800 K the pulsation amplitudes are still large but the radial displacements become aperiodic.
