Brief Description (Abstract):

Role stress mean differences across scientists and defence personnel were investigated. Results showed significant mean differences between groups on role expectation conflict. Some suggestions to reduce the role stress level are cited.

Status: Completed

Purpose: In stress research on Antarctic expeditions, much attention was paid to assess the psychiatric disturbances (Bell and Garthwaite, 1987 De Monchaux et al, 1979 Strange and Klein, 1973 Palami, 1963 Mullin, 1960), depression (Biersner and Hogan, 1984), personality traits (Dutta Roy, 1992), and state anxiety levels (Dutta Roy and Deb, 1995 1996) of the expeditioners. Studies assumed environmental changes as important predictor of stress in Antarctica. Like physical environment, some psycho-social factors like loneliness and role stress might cause the psychiatric disturbances among the expeditioners. Present study attempts to describe role stress pattern among the expeditioners. No attention was paid to study the role stress pattern of expeditioners in earlier studies.
