==Common Sources of Interpersonal Conflict in Spaceflight==

* Dissimilar goals of space travel among crewmembers.

* Perceived or actual differences in cultural or personal values among crewmembers.

* Personalization of issues or stressors encountered during spaceflight.

* Poor communication among crew members.

* Poor psychosocial adaptation to long-term space travel.

* Personality or behavioral changes due to a new or exacerbated medical or psychiatric condition, including:<ref>Flynn, Christopher F. Chapter 19: Behavioral Health and Performance Support.

==Behavioral Characteristics of Interpersonal Conflict==
<ref>Angelo E. Managing interpersonal conflict: Steps for success. Nurs Manage. 2019;50(6):22-28. doi:10.1097/01.NUMA.0000558479.54449.ed</ref>
* Openly voicing grievances
** Expressing dissatisfaction or concerns directly to fellow crewmembers.

* Behavioral changes
** Notable shifts in behavior during work or rest, including impulsive or risk-seeking actions.

* Negative personality shifts
** Development of irritability, hostility, or other adverse personality changes.

* Impairment of fair judgement
** Reduced individual or crew ability to make sound decisions, especially under stress.

* Social withdrawal or subgroup development
** Decreased cohesion and collaboration manifesting as avoidance of team interactions and/or formation of divisive subgroups.

* Communication breakdown
** Withholding or difficulty with conveying or receiving critical information effectively.

* Team tension and hostility
** Increased frequency of arguments or passive-aggressive behavior between crew members and/or ground crew.

* Decline in Team Performance
** Reduced efficiency and collaboration in completing mission-critical tasks.

==Evaluation==
* Individually address crewmembers in conflict, ensuring unbiased listening. Begin with open-ended questions, followed by targeted prompts.<ref>Flynn, Christopher F. Chapter 19: Behavioral Health and Performance Support. In: Barratt MR, Baker E, Pool SL, eds. Principles of Clinical Medicine for Spaceflight. Springer Nature; 2020.</ref>
** Evaluating interpersonal conflicts may require multiple interactions with crewmembers, with encouragement for continued discussion as needed.
** Avoid aggressively questioning crewmembers, for aggressive questioning can generate a strong defensive reaction against “prying” for information.
** Consider performing a thorough history and physical exam if suspicious for underlying medical or psychological causes of changes in behavior or personality contributing to conflict.

* Reference NASA Johnson Space Center’s four primary elements of behavioral health and performance support to evaluate potential contributors to interpersonal conflict:<ref>Flynn, Christopher F. Chapter 19: Behavioral Health and Performance Support. In: Barratt MR, Baker E, Pool SL, eds. Principles of Clinical Medicine for Spaceflight. Springer Nature; 2020.</ref>
** Sleep and circadian physiology
** Behavioral health
** Psychological adaptation
** Interaction with human-system interface in the on-orbit workplace

* Consult with a behavioral specialist when available.

==Management==
* Before applying general conflict resolution strategies, it is essential to rule out interpersonal conflicts driven by personality or behavioral changes resulting from new or worsening medical or psychiatric conditions. If a disorder is identified, treatment should precede reevaluation to assess whether the conflict remains.
