Italian term or phrase: tonico- emozionale
La metodologia da osservare per la realizzazione dei criteri d'ergonomia e d'allestimento si concretizza sulla base di corrette valutazioni antropometriche e posturologiche, quindi di dimensioni staturali - volumi corporei - dominanze percentuali prevalenti "destra o sinistra" -­ studio delle posizioni di minore stress e massimo rendimento funzionale nelle diverse condizioni di vita ed operative - studio degli spazi funzionali, di spostamento e di relax -, ma anche sulla base delle interazioni tra gli effetti cromatici, rurnorosità ambientale, vibrazioni, movimenti della nave ed aspetti psico-comportamentali e *tonico- emozionali* dell'equipaggio.

English translation:tone and emotional
Explanation:
Looking at this, I would translate "psico-comportamentali" as "psychological and behavioural". My degree in psychology is now very old, but it is still pretty ingrained. Definitions: "pschology is the science of behaviour", or "psychology is the science of mind". However, while psycho-behavioural is used by some, "psycho" is short for "psychopath", not the case here.

I think here what we are looking at is simply "tone and emotional aspects", along with "psychological and behavioural aspects", with "and" translating the Italian trattino.

Explanation:
I know the term "tono dell'umore" means "mood level" and I think that is what they are getting at here.

neutral  Kelly Gill: I get the idea that they are talking more about the relationship between body movements and emotion -- but I could be way off base here

Surprisingly this is a technical term in scientology. Probably not what you want here
