From Antarctica to Outer Space: Life in Isolation and Confinement
aims to revitalize and encourage behavioral research in spaceflight
as well as in polar and comparable settings. It comprises a broad
collection of papers that evolved from presentations at a three day
conference entitled The Human Experience in Antarctica:
Applications to Life in Space (The Sunnyvale Conference). This
conference was co-sponsored by the Division of Polar Programs of
the National Science Foundation and the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration and held in 1987. The book provides, through
firsthand accounts and research reviews, an introduction to the
human facet in isolated and confined environments such as
Antarctica, outer space, submarines, and remote national parks. The
book discusses some of the theoretical issues underlying research
on isolated and confined people, thus demonstrating the
applicability of certain general theories of behavior. It also
focuses on basic psychological and social responses to isolation
and confinement. Studies whose primary purpose is to explore the
effects of selection, training, and environmental design on human
behavior and mission outcomes are discussed.
