[Dynamics of interrelationship in a small group during long-term hypokinesia]

Effects of low activity of test-subjects during antiorthostatic hypokinesia on the intragroup structure as well as the semantic composition and the directionality of estimation criteria selected by test-subjects to describe the system of attitudes to oneself and others, and their impact on individual status in the social structure of the group have been studied. It was shown that maintaining of a definite level of individual activity of members is important for the group structure and successful adaptation of test-subjects to the unfavourable factors of hypokinesia. The degree of the ego image integrity and dominance of criteria that infer empathy and positive feelings within the system of individual appraisements determine the social status of a group member. The psychologic signs of a "apet" (psychologically close) and a "outsider" (psychologically strange) members of the group have been revealed.
