Psychophysiological Characteristics Related to the Functional State of the Members of the Soviet-American Arctic Bering Bridge Expedition
Psychophysiological testing was carried out on the 12 members of the Soviet-American Bering Expedition team prior to the start of the expedition and at four points along the route through the USSR. The group also completed daily ratings of anxiety, well-being, activity, and positive mood. Team membe...
