The research is devoted to the study of
Ukrainian polar explorers’ psychological readiness for
extreme environments of the "Academician Vernadsky"
Antarctic station. The relevance of the study is
substantiated; the scientific papers of domestic and foreign
researchers on the problem concerned are analyzed. The
concept of psychological readiness for extreme
environmental conditions is specified; the age limits of the
studied groups are determined; methodological tools of
psychological research are presented. Theoretical bases
and practical results on the problem involved are
considered. The three aspects of readiness of the polar
explorers, namely psychophysiological, personality,
social-psychological are differentiated. The peculiarities of
psychological training are described. The complex of
methods of psychological research of three age categories
is implemented. The comparison of the results of the
research has revealed some changes in psychological
characteristics. It is proved that the most prepared age
group includes middle-aged persons (from 35 to 45 years),
which constitutes about 40% of the participants and
indicates a sufficient level of psychological stability of
wintering teams. These results enable to identify new
criteria for psychological prediction, as well as to confirm
the need for further psychological research.
