Summary
The focus of space psychological studies mostly lies on stress processing or performance-related measures. Emotions were not investigated properly. Even in astronautical spaceflight they have not played a major role yet. However, dealing with emotions, especially on long-term missions and extreme environments, is crucial to one’s performance, well-being, and interpersonal relationships.
EIEE aims to investigate what emotions analog astronauts experience and what strategies they use to deal with them. It will also investigate if and how those strategies change over time in stressful situations. The analysis of emotion regulation strategies can help to work out programs and trainings for future Mars missions to mitigate emerging problems.
The study will provide detailed insight into the emotional experience and regulation strategies applied by analog astronauts during a mission in an extreme environment.
Before the mission, analog astronauts will complete the “Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire” (CERQ) and open questions related to the upcoming mission. During the mission, the analog astronauts have to keep a structured daily diary or audio log that asks about emotions and emotion regulation strategies. They will also use an emotion list daily to name which emotions they have experienced and to what intensity. After the mission, the CERQ will be completed again by the analog astronauts.
