“…human component was divided into four different categories: physical factors, memorized information, mental state and society-related factors). According to the compilation process of identified factors in Mindock and Klaus's (2014) research, as the factors that belong to a same categories grew, we began to put factors together on a same group according to their effects for human performance, such as timeconstrain load, task load and passive information load. A four-hierarchy structure was built after the process.…”

“…In HRA, PSFs are used to express the factors that influence human performance in a concrete scenario (Hollnagel, 1998). There are similar concepts according to various HRA methods: performance influencing factor (PIF) (Chang and Mosleh, 2007a), common performance condition (CPC) (Hollnagel, 1998), contributing factor (Mindock and Klaus, 2014) and so on. Developing PSF taxonomy is necessary for systematically analyzing the influences of the STC context on human behaviors.…”

Purpose On shield tunnel construction (STC) site, human error is widely recognized as essential to accident. It is necessary to explain which factors lead to human error and how these factors can influence human performance. Human reliability analysis supports such necessity through modeling the performance shaping factors (PSFs). The purpose of this paper is to establish and validate a PSF taxonomy for the STC context. Design/methodology/approach The approach taken in this study mainly consists of three steps. First, a description of the STC context is proposed through the analysis of the STC context. Second, the literature which stretch across the PSF methodologies, cognitive psychology and human factors of STC and other construction industries are reviewed to develop an initial set of PSFs. Finally, a final PSF set is modified and validated based on STC task analysis and STC accidents cases. Findings The PSF taxonomy constituted by 4 main components, 4 hierarchies and 85 PSFs is established for human behavior modeling and simulation under the STC context. Furthermore, by comparing and evaluating the performance of STC PSF and existing PSF studies, the proposed PSF taxonomy meets the requirement for qualitative and quantitative analysis. Practical implications The PSF taxonomy can provide a basis and support for human behavior modeling and simulation under the STC context. Integrating PSFs into a behavior simulation model provides a more realistic and integrated assessment of human error by manifesting the influence of each PSFs on the cognitive processes. The simulation results can suggest concrete points for the improvement of STC safety management. Originality/value This paper develops a taxonomy of PSFs that addresses the various unique influences of the STC context on human behaviors. The harsh underground working conditions and diverse resources of system information are identified as key characteristics of the STC context. Furthermore, the PSF taxonomy can be integrated into a human cognitive behavior model to predict the worker’s behavior on STC site in future work.

“…For facilitating space human factor research, taxonomy and maps can help the understanding of the interrelation of factors. For example, Mindock and Klaus (2014) report a specific contributing factors map influencing human performance and health for the spaceflight environment (Mindock and Klaus 2014). Here, time, task, workload, environment, habitability, physiological conditions, fatigue, and others are identified as a functional grouping to which multiple factors correspond.…”

To expand the human exploration footprint and reach Mars in the 2030s, we must explore how humans survive and thrive in demanding, unusual, and novel ecologies (i.e., extreme environments). In the extreme conditions encountered during human spaceflight, there is a need to understand human functioning and response in a more rigorous theoretically informed way. Current models of human performance in space‐relevant environments and human space science are often operationally focused, with emphasis on acute physiological or behavioral outcomes. However, integrating current perspectives in human biology allows for a more holistic and complete understanding of how humans function over a range of time in an extreme environment. Here, we show how the use of evolution‐informed frameworks (i.e., models of life history theory to organize the adaptive pressures of spaceflight and biocultural perspectives) coupled with the use of mixed‐methodological toolkits can shape models that better encompass the scope of biobehavioral human adjustment to long‐duration space travel and extra‐terrestrial habitation. Further, we discuss how we can marry human biology perspectives with the rigorous programmatic structures developed for spaceflight to model other unknown and nascent extremes.
