Personality traits of Antarctic expeditioners:

This study examined personality traits of Indian Antarctic expeditioners (n=8) with Cattell's 16PF (Form A). The result suggests that expeditioners are aloof, objective, intelligent, independent, problem solver, optimistic, cheerful, self sufficient, resource ful, careless of social rules and here little inhibition to environmental threat. Characteristics of personality traits in the context of Antarctica was discussed.

Differential patterns of state anxiety of scientists during Antarctic expedition

Differential patterns of state anxiety of scientists during Antarctic expedition Spielberger's state anxiety scale was administered to the Indian scientists across three different periods of Antarctic expedition, namely, onward, stay and return journey from Antarctica. One way ANOVA with repeated measures (45 observations) shows that state anxiety score during onward journey to Antarctica was significantly higher than that of other periods.

Item-total score correlations of state anxiety inventory across different months in Antarctic Expedition

Item-total score correlations of state anxiety inventory across different months in Antarctic Expedition The purpose of the study was to determine extent of item-total-correlation coefficients of Spielberger's state anxiety inventory across twelve months in Antarctic expedition. Data were collected from 18 Antarctic expeditioners. Results show that eleven items out of twenty were positively and significantly related with total score across months. Result is explained in terms of the differences in connotations by the item content.
