The third-quarter phenomenon in Antarctic personnel
The third-quarter phenomenon refers to a period of discomfort reported to occur during the thirdquarter of fixed term situations of isolation and stress (Bechtel and Berning, 1990). In the present review Bechtel and Berning’s (1990) original definition of the third-quarter phenomenon is explained an...
