Psychological Observations on an Isolated Group in Antarctica

G. PALMAI B.Sc., M.B., B.S., D.T.M.&H.1

1 Senior House Officer, The Maudsley Hospital, London, S.E.5

Psychological aspects of adjustment of fourteen men living for one year at an isolated Antarctic station were obtained from a psychological log, and the medical log. Several methods of psychological investigation have been described. Seasonal fluctuations in certain psychogenic and psychophysical manifestations are reported, and their possible causation discussed. Results are reported with reference to medical problems, group interaction, and sociometric data. The difficulties of the method of "participant observation" are stressed.
