This is a study of deviant behavior in space missions and polar expeditions. It will examine the effects of independent variables such as heterogeneity of crew and mission duration on behavior and performance, within the context of structural and ecological sociology. A key purpose is to generate baseline data about dysfunctional acts in extreme environments in order to construct applicable theory for living and working in remote and isolated places. The study examines the key social structural variables thought to correspond with deviance in extreme environments and a substantial sample of space and polar groups. After full operationalization of what is meant by a deviant act in an extreme environment, multiple coders will extract deviant acts from approximately 100 space and polar field expeditions. Once occurrences of deviant acts and related data have been extracted from mission and expedition records, ANCOVA with nested terms will be employed to examine numbers of deviant acts against their crew sizes, heterogeneity, and mission duration in each mission and expedition. Data will be input according to the separate quarters of a mission and expedition regardless of the mission/expedition length. This methodology seeks to examine how crew size, heterogeneity, and mission duration structure deviance in extreme environments. In particular, it will test the hypothesis of increased deviance around or after the midway point of extreme environment expeditions. The methodology also allows a comparison of these points by space and by polar field milieu if narrative sources permit. This study tests the scope of general theories of human behavior by applying them to life in extreme environments. The results of this pioneering study will generate new insights and stimulate further research in a substantive area where little systematic research has been done previously. The findings will also guide future planning for long duration space missions.

这是一项关于太空任务和极地探险中的异常行为的研究。它将在结构和生态社会学的背景下，研究独立变量，如机组人员的异质性和任务持续时间对行为和表现的影响。一个关键目的是生成关于极端环境中的功能障碍行为的基线数据，以便为在偏远和与世隔绝的地方生活和工作建立适用的理论。这项研究考察了被认为与极端环境中的偏差相对应的关键社会结构变量，以及空间和极地群体的大量样本。在极端环境中的越轨行为完全实现后，多个编码员将从大约100次空间和极地探险中提取越轨行为。一旦从飞行任务和探险记录中提取了越轨行为的发生和相关数据，将使用嵌套术语的ANCOVA来检查每次飞行和探险中越轨行为的数量及其船员规模、异质性和任务持续时间。数据将根据特派团和考察队的不同季度输入，而不考虑任务/考察队的长度。这种方法试图研究机组规模、异质性和任务持续时间如何在极端环境中构成偏差。特别是，它将检验极端环境考察中点附近或之后偏差增加的假设。如果叙事来源允许，该方法还允许按空间和极地磁场环境对这些点进行比较。这项研究通过将人类行为的一般理论应用于极端环境中的生活来测试它们的范围。这一开创性研究的结果将产生新的见解，并刺激在一个以前几乎没有系统研究的实质性领域进行进一步研究。这些发现还将指导未来长时间太空任务的规划。
