Summary

Crew cohesion in space simulations is vital. When personal self-concepts fail to align with others, it can lead to group disintegration and tension, resulting in an outsider with a disintegrated ego-image.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Space Exploration
  • Human Factors

Background:

  • Investigating interpersonal dynamics in space simulation studies offers insights into crew cohesion.
  • The Kelly repertory grid technique is a valuable tool for examining these interactions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To test if personal self-concept aligns with concepts of other crew members in cohesive space simulation crews.
  • To determine if ego-image similarity influences an individual's group position.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a modified Kelly repertory grid technique in two isolation studies (135 and 90 days).
  • Crew members assessed each other monthly and during simulated docking scenarios.

Main Results:

  • Personal self-concepts did not converge with concepts of fellow crew members during isolations.
Keywords:
Non-programmatic

  • Crew disintegration occurred, with one member exhibiting a disintegrated ego-image and infantile present ego.

    • Conclusions:

    • Failure to align self-concepts with group members in isolated settings can cause disintegration and tension.
    • This can lead to the emergence of an 'outsider' with psychological difficulties, including a disintegrated ego-image.
