Brief Description (Abstract):

Psychological effects in polar environment have been examined from several perspectives. Amongst those, personality and temperament traits have been cardinal. This study aims to investigate the personality and the temperament traits of Antarctic personnel, in addition, the correlation of temperament and personality traits. Fifteen volunteers from winter team of 25th Indian Scientific Antarctic Expedition served as participants. NEOFFI Personality test was administered at Auli, India and retested at pre and post winter season in Antarctica. The TDOT test was administered in the last two months of prolonged residence in Antarctica. There was no significant difference in the dimensions of personality from baseline to post winter season.

Status: Completed

Purpose: Considerable time and effort have been spent to identify personality characteristics related to good or poor adaptation, social cooperativeness versus destructiveness and the like in space flight or polar stations. The way in which people react to the environment is conceived of as being to a great extent personality based. Although much effort has been expended on research in selection factors for extreme and unusual environments, the findings have been essentially those predicted by common sense.
