    Results/More Information

    Regular testing in the course of flight will make it possible to reveal changes in relationships within crew throughout long-duration flight; optimize psychological support and update recommendations for crew psychological selection and training.

    During conduct of the experiment, time of characters assessment and quantitative evaluations of characters are recorded using 12 scales (pairs of criteria). All indices are entered in memory card to be delivered to Earth as part of kit Vzaimodestviye.
