Field test of a simple, rapid, and objective behavioral assay of group cohesion in an antarctic space analog environment (Completed)

Last Published: 07/30/21 01:05:34 PM (Central)

Task Book: Entry
Principal Investigator: Roma, Peter

Short Title: Group Cohesion Assay

Responsible HRP Element: Behavioral Health and Performance

Collaborating Org(s):

National Space Biomedical Research Institute (NSBRI)

Funding Status: Completed - Task completed and produced a deliverable

Procurement Mechanism(s):

Solicited

Aims:
The objectives of this continuation proposal are to provide risk assessment and countermeasure evaluation of the following fundamental behavioral interaction operations that will most likely affect crew performance effectiveness and psychosocial adaptation:

The structure and function of communication channels within and between simulated space-dwelling and Earth-based groups;
Factors associated with variations in the behavioral management systems between space-dwelling and Earth- based groups;
Factors associated with variations in workloads, stressful time pressure, and conflict conditions
Behavioral and psychosocial interaction systems between spaceflight crews and Earth-centered mission support operations that are most likely to influence individual and group performance during long-duration missions.

Risk of Performance and Behavioral Health Decrements Due to Inadequate Cooperation, Coordination, Communication, and Psychosocial Adaptation within a Team

Team-101: We need to understand the key threats, indicators, and evolution of the team throughout its life cycle for shifting autonomy and interface with automation in increasingly earth independent, long duration exploration missions.

Team-102: We need to identify a set of quantifiable and validated measures, based on 5-12 key indicators of mission-relevant and identified spaceflight acceptable thresholds (or ranges) of team function, to effectively monitor and measure team health and performance of integrated NASA and commercial/private crews, during shifting autonomy in increasingly earth independent, long duration exploration missions.

Team-103: We need to identify psychological and psychosocial factors, measures, and combinations thereof for use in selecting individuals and composing highly effective crews most likely to maintain team function during shifting autonomy in increasingly earth independent, long duration exploration missions.
