This award will support the research of three cultural anthropologists in Antarctica, studying how an extreme and isolated environment affects group structure and individuals' understanding of that structure. The incidence and management of conflict will be studied as it is, in turn, affected by the group structure. Both quantitative and qualitative data will be collected on the formation of group structure, status and role consensus, perceived conflict and morale for three groups at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole station. Quantitative models of the formation of group structure will be created. This study will contribute to our understanding of the role of group structure and cognition in the functioning of groups in isolation, will complement work on health and adaptation in polar environments, and provide important information that will help develop improved procedures to assemble groups for the Antarctic and other isolated environments (e.g., space stations).

该奖项将支持三位文化人类学家在南极洲的研究，研究极端和孤立的环境如何影响群体结构以及个人对这种结构的理解。冲突的发生率和管理将被研究，因为它反过来又受到集团结构的影响。将收集关于阿蒙森-斯科特南极站三个小组的小组结构的形成、地位和作用协商一致意见、察觉到的冲突和士气的数量和质量数据。将创建群体结构形成的定量模型。这项研究将有助于我们了解群体结构和认知在孤立群体功能中的作用，将补充极地环境中的健康和适应工作，并提供重要信息，有助于制定改进的程序，为南极和其他孤立环境（例如空间站）组建群体。
