Effects of long term isolation on the emotion change of "Lunar Palace 365" crewmembers

The famous and controversial Stanford Prison Experiment, conducted by social psychologist Philip Zimbardo and his colleagues at Stanford University, demonstrated the power of social roles, social norms, and scripts.

Long-term depression, or LTD, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTD is the process of synaptic weakening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic weakening of LTD works in opposition to synaptic strengthening by long-term potentiation (LTP) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Formation of the MoonThe Moon is Earth's only natural satellite and plays a vital role in stabilizing Earth's rotation and influencing tides. Scientists believe the Moon formed about 4.5 billion years ago through a process called the Giant Impact Hypothesis. This theory suggests that a Mars-sized object, called Theia, collided with Earth, ejecting debris into space. Over time, gravity pulled this debris together, forming the Moon. Understanding the Moon’s formation helps scientists learn more...

MoonThe Moon is Earth’s only natural satellite and the closest celestial body to our planet. It is essential in influencing Earth’s tides and stabilizing its rotation. The Moon’s surface is covered in craters, mountains, and vast plains called maria. Unlike Earth, the Moon lacks an atmosphere, resulting in extreme temperature changes between day and night. Studying the Moon helps scientists understand planetary formation, space exploration, and the effects of space environments on...
