Popis: One of the prioritized objectives of psychophysiological support for long-duration space missions is to strengthen professional reliability of cosmonauts. Operator’s reliability is dependent as on skillfulness, so individual work style. “Pilot-1” and VIRTU methods were used to study individual psychological characteristics and operator’s strategy during project “Mars-500.” The established two individual work styles (IWSs), i.e. “control” and “search” reflect different style of reacting to stress. Combined analysis of these data and results of “Mirror coordinograph” test showed invariance of IWSs no matter whether a task is complicated or simple. Operators demonstrating the “control” strategy are characterized by high initial mobilization readiness. Their reliability demands great physiological resources (high “cost”). Initial mobilization and physiological “cost” are lower in operators demonstrating the “search” work style. Dependent on the level of mobilization, their efficacy, in term of quality and reliability, is unstable in nature.
