ABSTRACT
Homeostatic testing was used to monitor the interpersonal instrumental interaction of participants in the experiment with isolation in the conditions of abnormally high temperatures and pall of smoke. It was found that the factor of extreme exposure influenced the team work activity in the isolated small group. Homeostatic testing allowed differentiation between 2 types of people, i.e. leaders and subordinates, and identify those who combine traits of both the leader and subordinate. The data suggest that success of a common task is determined as by well-considered, purposive actions of the leader, so by spontaneous, on the pattern of random search, contribution from operators.

The conception of effective interrelative operators' activity (IROA) is substantiated. A method of isolated small groups classification has been developed around an integral IROA index as an attribute. The proposed rough gradation of isolated small groups is governed by the classifier structure. A particular crew classification was undertaken in the chamber experiments within the MARS-500 project.

A computerized Homeostat test was used in three chamber experiments to study dynamics of cooperative fulfillment of homeostatic tasks and construct a mathematical equation thereupon. Personal input of each group member in goal achievement was assessed and compared at the end of isolation period.

A clear and easy-to-interpret format of displaying the results of group psychology studies as a summarized diagram of individual modes of handling the homeostatic tasks was used to makes conclusions about the social activity and ability of teamwork of each group member in two long-duration chamber experiments (SFINCCS'99 and EXEMSI'92).
