Area of Science:

  • Space medicine
  • Human physiology
  • Behavioral science

Background:

  • Current performance measures for head-down bed rest subjects are subjective.
  • Subjectivity in assessment relies on psychologist's knowledge of subject behaviors.
  • Need for an objective outcome measure for enhanced accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an objective outcome measure for assessing head-down bed rest subject performance.
  • To create a reliable tool for evaluating physiological and behavioral responses during bed rest studies.
  • To improve the accuracy and consistency of performance evaluations in simulated microgravity.

Main Methods:

  • Behaviorally Anchored Rating Scales (BARS) were developed.
  • Critical incident technique and focus groups were utilized.
  • Traditional BARS development procedures were incorporated.

Main Results:

  • 86 usable critical incidents were identified.
  • These incidents served as anchors for the developed scales.
  • The methodology provided a foundation for objective performance measurement.

Conclusions:

  • Further research is needed to validate the BARS.
  • Investigate associations between BARS data and psychological screening data.
  • Determine the efficacy of the new objective measure in real-world applications.
