Abstract

Humanity will mount interplanetary exploration missions within the next two decades, supported by a growing workforce operating in isolated, confined, and extreme (ICE) conditions of space. How will future space workers fare in a closed social world while subjected to persistent stressors? Using a sample of 32 participants operating in ICE conditions over the course of 30-45 days, we developed and tested a dynamic model of conflict and strain. Drawing on conservation of resources (COR) theory, we investigated reciprocal relationships between different forms (i.e., task and relationship) of conflict, and between conflict and strain. Results demonstrated evidence for a resource threat feedback loop as current-day task conflict predicted next-day relationship conflict and current-day relationship conflict predicted next-day task conflict. Additionally, results indicated support for a resource loss feedback loop as current-day relationship conflict predicted next-day strain, and current-day strain predicted next-day relationship conflict. Moreover, we found that job conditions affected these associations as current-day relationship conflict was more associated with next-day task conflict when next-day workload was high, but not when next-day workload was low. Similarly, current-day relationship conflict was more associated with next-day strain when next-day workload was high; however, this association decreased when next-day workload was low. Therefore, the results suggest that workload plays a critical role in weakening the effect of these spirals over time, and suggests that targeted interventions (e.g., recovery days) can help buffer against the negative impact of relationship conflict on strain and decrease the extent that relationship conflict spills over into task disputes.

极端工作环境中人际冲突和心理压力的动态性质。
人类将在未来20年内执行星际探索任务,在孤立、受限和极端(ICE)的太空条件下,越来越多的工作人员将为其提供支持。未来的太空工作者将如何在一个封闭的社会世界中生存,同时还要承受持续的压力?在30-45天的时间里,我们以32名参与者为样本,在ICE条件下工作,开发并测试了一个冲突和紧张的动态模型。利用资源守恒(COR)理论,研究了不同形式的冲突(即任务与关系)之间以及冲突与应变之间的相互关系。结果证明了资源威胁反馈循环的证据,即当前任务冲突预测第二天关系冲突,当前关系冲突预测第二天任务冲突。此外,研究结果还支持资源损失反馈回路,即当前关系冲突预测第二天的紧张,当前关系紧张预测第二天的关系冲突。此外,我们发现工作条件会影响这些关联,当第二天的工作量高时,当前的关系冲突与第二天的任务冲突更相关,而当第二天的工作量低时,则不是。同样,当第二天的工作量高时,今天的关系冲突与第二天的压力更相关;然而,当第二天的工作量较低时,这种关联减弱。因此,研究结果表明,随着时间的推移,工作量在削弱这些螺旋效应方面起着关键作用,并表明有针对性的干预措施(如恢复日)可以帮助缓冲关系冲突对压力的负面影响,并减少关系冲突溢出到任务纠纷的程度。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA,版权所有)。
