In the late 1980s the Australian Antarctic Division collaborated with NASA to use the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions' (ANARE) stations to pursue research of benefit to both programs. This article outlines the data collection efforts, the development of analyses, and selected results, and describes some of the benefits for the aerospace, health, and environmental psychology communities. The Behavior and Performance Laboratory at Johnson Space Center developed a questionnaire to sample broadly the many aspects of life in extreme environments analogous to space missions. Data were collected from volunteers involved in various ANAREs conducted from 1994 to 2003. Pool-timed series regression, hierarchical models, and content analysis have all enhanced the understanding of the kinds of psychosocial variables relevant in extreme environments, and how these variables relate to each other; examples are given. Observations gathered over the last 10 yr comprise a unique, comprehensive, and advanced representation of psychosocial factors in this extreme environment and provide a strong base for future research and application.
20世纪80年代末，澳大利亚南极分部与美国国家航空航天局合作，利用澳大利亚国家南极考察队（ANARE）的考察站开展对两个项目都有益的研究。本文概述了数据收集工作、分析方法的开发以及部分研究结果，并介绍了该研究对航空航天、健康和环境心理学领域的一些益处。约翰逊航天中心的行为与绩效实验室设计了一份调查问卷，广泛抽样调查与太空任务类似的极端环境下生活的诸多方面。数据收集自1994年至2003年参与各项澳大利亚国家南极考察队活动的志愿者。合并时间序列回归、分层模型和内容分析都加深了人们对极端环境中相关社会心理变量类型的理解，以及这些变量之间的相互关系；文中给出了相关示例。过去10年收集的观测数据是对这一极端环境下社会心理因素的独特、全面且先进的呈现，为未来的研究和应用奠定了坚实基础。
