“…Moreover, there is limited free time or recreation, such as sports, that could improve health and social relations (Carotenuto et al, 2013). The presence of all these psychosocial stressors is due to the peculiarities of the profession (Zolotas, Kalafati, Tzannatos, & Rassias, 2017).…”

“…Foul weather can also negatively affect fishermen psychologically. A boat in constant motion, either while running or anchored, can result in creating a general grating feeling (i.e., it is tiresome to be in constant motion) and can be physically fatiguing after long periods of time (Zolotas et al, 2017). Extreme weather makes simple duties difficult and problematic or even dangerous, such as cooking food.…”

We depict the physical and psychological challenges of commercial fishing in Alaska as well as the uplifts, or positive experiences fishermen report. We describe an array of coping methods that are utilized during the fishing season and the contexts in which they occur. Our findings help clarify the link between human behavior, stressors, coping mechanisms employed, and uplifts experienced when working in extreme conditions. By doing this, we provide a better understanding of the effects that severe conditions have on wellbeing, such as working for long periods of time in cramped quarters in remote, extreme environments, and how Alaskan fishermen cope with them.

“…El buque como institución total fuertemente jerarquizada es la principal causa de estos índices (McVeigh et al, 2021;Rodríguez-Martos, 1996). Además, las características de personalidad de cada tripulante pueden actuar como factores de riesgo o protección (Zolotas et al, 2017).…”

Background: This study sought to investigate the personality and symptoms of Korean Coast Guard members. Methods: A total of 136 Korea Coast Guard members were targeted and asked to accomplish the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) via the software SPSS version 23.0. Results: Korea Coast Guard members who worked on the ships for more than five years scored higher on the PD (psychopathic deviate), RC3, CYN (cynicism), and ASP (antisocial practices) scales of the MMPI than the group who worked for less than 5 years. Conclusions: The findings suggest that members of the Korea Coast Guard may show significant antisocial score differences according to their ship working period and that a preventive approach is necessary to address this. These results suggested that the Korea Coast Guard may show significant antisocial score differences according to the ship working period, and that a preventive approach is necessary accordingly.
