“…If a certain level of stress is considered as necessary for adaptation (Lazarus & Folkman, ; Selye, ), the intensity, frequency, accumulation and duration of episodes of stress are characteristics which could generate impaired stress outcomes both in well‐being and performance (Geuna, Brunelli, & Perino, ; Lazarus, ). However, stress should not always be considered negatively, particularly in space missions where an appropriate amount of stress should improve the safety of the mission and the survival chances of the crew (Marsh & Rygalov, ). In addition to the distinction between ‘eustress’ (positive) and ‘distress’ (negative), the consequences may be either adaptive or non‐adaptive depending on the characteristics of the stress process (Lazarus, ; Selye, ).…”

The present study analysed the time course of the psychological process of stress and recovery in six healthy male volunteers during the Mars 105 experimentation, a 105-day ground-based space analogue. The multidimensional assessment of stress and recovery responses showed that stress levels decreased significantly throughout the 105-day isolated and confined extreme (ICE) experiment, especially on its social dimension. In line with previous studies, Fatigue showed a global and progressive reduction. The present results suggest that ICE exposure may not systematically induce stress overload and impaired psychological states. To optimize adaptation to ICE conditions, further improvements in positive psychological effects may be possible by improving the countermeasures, as well as the screening and selection of participants, in order to enhance coping capacities and to improve the balance of recovery-stress states.

“…Stress responses in ICE environments have been reported to induce excitement or distress, depending on the stress level (e.g., Marsh & Rygalov, 2008). An appropriate level of stress can improve adaptive responses to constraining or extreme situations (Palinkas, 1992).…”

“…However, according to the seminal models of stress, below a certain threshold stress is considered to be necessary for adaptation both biologically (Selye, 1950) and psychologically (Lazarus & Folkman, 1984). Stress responses in ICE environments have been reported to induce excitement or distress, depending on the stress level (e.g., Marsh & Rygalov, 2008). An appropriate level of stress can improve adaptive responses to constraining or extreme situations (Palinkas, 1992).…”

This study investigated time patterns and the relationships between perceived stress, recovery, control, attention lapses, and defense mechanisms (DM) during a 12-month wintering in Concordia polar station with an international crew of 14 volunteers. This ICE (Isolated, Confined, Extreme) environment induced some stress, mainly in the social dimension and showed relationships (a) between DM and both stress and recovery and (b) between recovery and perceived control, highlighting the roles of DM and control in psychological adaptation. These results offer additional insights into the affective, social, and cognitive processes involved in adaptation. The findings suggest that preventive psychological countermeasures should be developed for crew members to counteract detrimental psychological outcomes and to improve adaptation to long-duration ICE situations such as planned human interplanetary space missions.
