摘要

Abstract

Recently

studies on the extent to which spaceflight affects the psychology of individuals has received attention. In order to reveal the mental challenges that humans face in space

we need practical viewpoints to integrate the psychological effects

behavior

performance and the environment itself for space exploration. The present review discusses the individual variables related to space psychology and manned spaceflight

in addition to their growing trends. These items include patterns of emotional changes in extreme environments and the approaches to evaluating emotions. Moreover

the review concludes with suggested future research on emotion during spaceflight and its analogs. These data and information are needed to plan for the exploration of the Moon and Mars

along with contributions to the construction of the international space station (ISS) and astronaut training.
