Crossing the blue line : law enforcement personality, coping, and stress over time.

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

162 police officers completed measures of personality, coping style, job stress, and attachment. Officers also provided information about their work experience including years of experience, past and current assignments, and other demographic information. Results suggest that time on force predicts certain facets of personality, coping style, and perceived job stress for officers. The implications of these results are discussed and suggestions are made for addressing problems these trends may produce for officers.
