    Study Notes

    Evaluating Teams in Extreme Environments

    • Evaluating teams in extreme environments (EUEs) requires consideration of high physical, physiological, psychological, psychosocial, and cognitive demands.
    • Human-human, human-technology, and human-environment interfaces are crucial, along with team coordination, cooperation, and communication.
    • Personality traits like low neuroticism, high extraversion, and high openness to experience are potentially beneficial in EUEs.
    • Leadership styles, group size, cultural and gender mixes, and role/power structures affect team performance.

    Antarctic Personnel Selection (SOAP)

    • The SOAP instrument aims to select suitable Antarctic personnel.
    • It identifies individuals unsuitable for winter appointments due to pre-existing or potential personality/psychiatric disorders.
    • SOAP's focus is on selecting individuals with desirable traits for high performance and coping in Antarctic environments.
    • The instrument evaluated whether the SOAP test predicted selection for Antartica and predicted whether people coped better (select in) or worse (select out).

    Personality Traits and EUE Performance

    • Neuroticism is negatively correlated with functioning in extreme conditions.
    • Extraversion and conscientiousness show mixed results.
    • Openness is linked to team satisfaction and viability.
    • Agreeableness is associated with social cohesion and stability.
    • Conscientiousness may be a protective factor in EUEs.
