[Interconnected operator's activity under the conditions of experimental climatic stress]

Homeostatic testing was used to monitor the interpersonal instrumental interaction of participants in the experiment with isolation in the conditions of abnormally high temperatures and pall of smoke. It was found that the factor of extreme exposure influenced the team work activity in the isolated small group. Homeostatic testing allowed differentiation between 2 types of people, i.e. leaders and subordinates, and identify those who combine traits of both the leader and subordinate. The data suggest that success of a common task is determined as by well-considered, purposive actions of the leader, so by spontaneous, on the pattern of random search, contribution from operators.
