N2 - The ability to monitor, predict, and enhance the building, maintenance, and repair of social bonds over extended periods of confinement within diverse crews is a high-priority concern of the international astronautics community. To this end, current evaluation methods for actual space missions include anecdotes, personal journal analysis, and psychometric tests, all of which can be informative, but are also inherently subjective and often language-dependent and time-consuming. Here we describe the basic operating characteristics, conceptual background, and practical considerations for the Team Performance Task (TPT) - a simple, rapid, and objective computer-based assessment of voluntary cooperative behavior as an assay of social cohesion in small groups.
