(1902) Shaposhnikov, behavioral-event interview

(1902) Shaposhnikov is a hilda asteroid discovered in April of 1972. There are prediscovery images back to October of 1966, May of 1956 and April of 1955. It was spotted without being identified in April of 1940, June of 1941, October of 1950, November and December of 1951, October and November of 1958, December of 1959 and May of 1972.

The orbit is between the outter main belt and zone of orbital piercing from Jupiter toward the main belt. It has a perihelion of 3.08 AU and an aphelion of 4.84 AU. The semimajor axis is at 3.96 AU. It has an orbital period of 7 years and 328 days. It has an inclination of 12.4º. It has a diameter of about 97 km.


During the year 2010 and 2011, photometric observations were made.

Orbital resonance:
5:21 with Mars (99.9%)
3:2 with Jupiter (99.9%)
-
12:17 with Hygiea (99.9%)
7:12 with Ceres-Pallas (99.9%)

 

Historical character

Vladimir Grigorevich Shaposhnikov (1905-1942), was an astronomer, expert in astrometry, who worked at the Simeiz Observatory, before perishing in the World War II.

The discovery of (1902) Shaposhnikov clashed with the development of the behavioral-event interview technique (McClelland & Dayley, 1972), using the critical incidence method (Flanagan, 1954) and the TAT (Thematic Apperception Test , McClelland), which were developed during the prediscoveries of this asteroid in the 1950s.

"The 5th Wave" (2016)

In the behavioral-event interviews progressively deeper questions are asked about how respondent acted, felt and thought in a specific situation of the past, in order to know if he has the necessary skills for the job requested.

"Winter's Bone" (2010)

(1902) Shaposhnikov is related with situations in which, to clear all initial doubts (3:2 resonance with Jupiter), it goes more and more deeper into the desired characteristics of a nutrition source, wich can be food, relationships or work.
