Physical Environments, Habitability Perceptions, and Health.

Abstract

The physical environment is viewed as an important component of the social system model. In this study, four types of ships, differing in age and habitability characteristics, were compared in terms of habitability perceptions of crew members. Differences between ship types on seven habitability dimension scores tended to be large and to account for a large proportion of the total variance among ships. Illness rates among types also were compared, and differences between ship types were generally significant but less pronounced that those for habitability perceptions. (Author)
