13 LONG DURATION, EXPLORATION MISSIONS PRESENT A UNIQUE ENVIRONMENT CHARACTERIZED BY MANY STRESSORS (E.G., SOCIAL ISOLATION, DANGER, CONFINEMENT, INTERPERSONAL DYNAMICS, PERIODS OF OVER/UNDER STIMULATION), WITH LITTLE ABILITY TO ESCAPE. RESEARCH HAS FOUND THAT WITHIN SUCH ENVIRONMENTS INTERPERSONAL DYNAMICS OCCUPY A KEY ROLE IN EFFECTIVE FUNCTIONING (FORSYTH, 2010). WHILE THE LAST FEW YEARS HAS WITNESSED AN INCREASE IN RESEARCH EXAMINING THE COMPOSITION REQUIREMENTS OF HIGH PERFORMANCE TEAMS, LITTLE WORK HAS EXAMINED THESE ISSUES IN LIGHT OF TEAMS EMBEDDED IN LONG DURATION, EXPLORATION MISSIONS. THEREFORE, WE DESCRIBE A PROGRAM OF WORK WHICH ADDRESSES TEAM GAPS 1, 4, AND 8 IN NASA'S HUMAN RESEARCH ROADMAP. WE SEEK TO ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS WITH REGARD TO LONG DURATION, EXPLORATION MISSIONS: (1) WHAT ARE THE KEY SOCIAL AND TEAM TECHNICAL (TASK) ROLES WHICH INFLUENCE TEAM FUNCTION, (2) WHAT ARE THE BEHAVIORAL AND COMMUNICATIVE MARKERS WHICH CAN BE USED TO ASSESS THE DEGREE TO WHICH KEY IDENTIFIED SOCIAL AND TEAM TECHNICAL ROLES ARE BEING FULFILLED (3) WHAT CONTEXTUAL ASPECTS SERVE TO TRIGGER A NEED FOR THE DYNAMIC SHIFT OF SOCIAL ROLES (5) WHAT ARE THE OPTIMAL COMBINATIONS (I.E., PROFILES, ALGORITHMS) OF SOCIAL ROLES FOR THE MAINTENANCE AND REGULATION OF TEAM FUNCTIONS (6) WHAT ARE THE MARKERS THAT CAN BE USED TO SELECT FOR THOSE MOST LIKELY TO FIT SOCIAL PROFILES AND HOW DO THESE PROFILES CHANGE ACROSS THE DURATION OF THE MISSION (I.E., THE TEAM'S LIFE CYCLE). IN ANSWERING THESE QUESTIONS WE SEEK TO PROVIDE A SERIES OF SCIENTIFICALLY-GROUNDED AND EXPERIMENTALLY VALIDATED TAXONOMIES, GUIDELINES, AND MEASUREMENT TOOLS FOR TEAM SELECTION/COMPOSITION. IN EXPLORING THESE QUESTIONS, WE TAKE A MULTI-PRONGED APPROACH CONSISTING OF ANALYSIS OF ARCHIVAL DATA (E.G., ASTRONAUT DIARIES, HISTORICAL ACCOUNTS OF TEAMS OPERATING IN ICE, PRIOR COLLECTED UCF ASTRONAUT INTERVIEWS), SCIENTIFIC LITERATURES ON GROUP DYNAMICS, PERSONALITY, TEAM ROLES, STRESS, AND DIVERSITY, INTERVIEWS, AND EXPERIMENTATION IN NASA ANALOGS.
