“…This helped crew members obtain psychosocial support from each other, as it was previously detected in the much longer isolation studies of the international crews in MARS-520 and SIRIUS-19 ( Šolcova et al, 2021a ; Šolcova et al, 2021b ). That answered the question why the ESKIS subjects did not report significant changes in their mood under stressful conditions.…”

Studies conducted by I. Altman in the 1960–70s revealed the increase in the individual stress level under isolation and confinement. Altman introduced the term “privacy” as a desired level of personal space that humans need to feel psychologically comfortable. The author also mentioned the dynamic process of boundary regulation that can be accompanied by the increase in conflict tension in the confined groups. In our study with short-term chamber isolation ESKIS, we analyzed behavior, crew interactions, and psychological state of a mixed-gender crew with none or minimal previous isolation experience (4 males and 2 females) who spent 14 days in a small chamber of 50 m3. The study confirmed that the pre-isolation period was particularly stressful for the subjects who felt also significant anxiety during the first days of isolation. Also, some mood and sleep disturbances were detected under isolation and crowding. Psychological stress made the crew more cohesive; they demonstrated the increase in common values. Extraverted subjects who could obtain social support from their partners and Mission Control’s duty teams were less interested in psychological support via VR.

“…The gained results demonstrated the role of individual differences in values as a source of interpersonal tension in an isolated small group, especially with the increase of the mission duration and crew autonomy. I. Solcova, in her studies, proved that cohesion under isolation is accompanied by a more favorable assessment of interpersonal interaction, as well as an increase in conformity [15].…”

Detection of the extent of common values in a cohesive space crew has become an important trend in modern space psychology. It is known from the works of Ch. Osgood that the semantic differential scale is a reliable way to obtain objective information on the emotional attitudes towards a topic of interest. Within the frame of the Russian space experiment “Interactions” on the International Space Station (ISS), a computerized survey, the Personal Self-Perception and Attitudes (PSPA), was developed for analyzing the subjects’ emotional attitudes toward their social environment. In the course of the PSPA procedure, the crewmembers rate each other and themselves (in the past, present, and future) using the criteria previously personally chosen. These criteria should be regarded as their personal values. A total of 30 subjects have already completed the study on board the ISS. The main tasks of the study are: (1) to define individual and group values and the extent of group identification reflected in sharing these values; (2) to determine the impact of cross-cultural factors on mutual perceptions and self-perceptions in space crews and with the Mission Control Center (MCC); (3) to study changes in the space crews’ group cohesiveness and structure as they are exposed to the stress of the extended space mission environment. The data obtained indicate an increase in a “psychological distance” between the crew and the MCC personnel versus increased crew cohesion. The results gained made it possible to identify the most significant categories of values common to the subjects from the professional cosmonaut group. The priority of these shared values for each subject is an important condition for the formation of a cohesive crew.

“…La adaptabilidad de la sociometría a diversos campos de estudio amplía su aplicación más allá de la psicología social. Se precisa que encuentra relevancia en la antropología, la sociología, la educación, así como en la gestión organizacional y el diseño de políticas públicas ( Jiménez-Pitre et al, 2023;Šolcová et al, 2022;Stefanini, et al, 2021). Esta expansión refleja la universalidad de las relaciones sociales como objeto de estudio y la versatilidad de la sociometría para investigarlas.…”

Sociometry allows researchers to quantify social relationships' preferences, choices, and rejections, facilitating an in-depth understanding of social structure and group cohesion. The study aimed to analyze the relevance and applicability of sociometrics for social research. A qualitative literature review research was conducted using a rigorous process of selecting documents in the Scopus database. This article comprehensively reviews sociometrics, a methodological and theoretical tool developed to measure interpersonal relationships and dynamics within groups and communities. The benefits of applying sociometric analysis in various fields, such as social psychology, education, social work, and community organization, were discussed. In addition, methodological and ethical challenges inherent in using sociometrics are addressed, and future directions for research are suggested. Sociometry has important relevance as a powerful tool for analyzing social networks, improving group dynamics, and designing more inclusive and functional environments.
