Is it Really so bad? A Comparison of Positive and Negative Experiences in Antarctic Winter Stations
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-16, 12:35 authored by Wood, J, Hysong, SJ, Lugg, D, Harm, DLThis study examined the range of positive and negative themes reported by 104 Australian Antarctic winter personnel at four stations during two austral winters. Reports from the expeditioners were subjected to a content analysis using the TextSmart software from SPSS, Inc. Results indicated that, although the list of negative experiences is lengthy, most events are relatively rare. On the other hand, although the list of positive experiences is short, the frequencies with which they are reported are much greater than for most of the problems. Possible explanations for these themes and for future directions are discussed.
