Maybe the answer to that question was one of the reasons for putting together an all-women crew. Possibly a psychological study - women have a reputation for working well together in a group project. Men have a societal reputation for being individualistic and maybe too independent.
.....Maybe the space program is trying to resolve ANY questions like that BEFORE investing in sending crews out on long-term missions. Obviously, I don't know IF they are trying to resolve any gender mental strengths and weaknesses. For all I know, they may have already studied that ?
