Methods: Prevalence and psychological impact of 12 traumatic events was examined in …
Communication with police supervisors and peers as a buffer of work-related traumatic stress
Traumatic events are a particular type of stressor that may affect police officers engaged in front line duties. In this study, specific types of social support predicted to buffer the psychological and physical health effects of trauma are drawn from theory and empirical evidence in the area of post-traumatic stress. Social support, measured as the content of communication, and the ease of talking about trauma was tested with 527 working police …

Can wives perceive the source of their husbands' occupational stress

A Sources of Stress Questionnaire (SSQ) and the GHQ were administered to a random sample of POs. Their wives were asked to identify the sources of stress in their husbands' job, and to complete the GHQ. The results of two measures of congruence are reported. Firstly, separate factor analyses of the SS…
Raw Score and Factor Score Multiple Regression
An empirical investigation and theoretical examination was made of the issues arising out of the use of factor scores in multiple regression from the perspective of exploratory analysis. Using data collected on 189 subjects, two raw score regressions were compared to and contrasted with a single factor score regression. Issues examined included: the relative predictive power and generalizability of each solution, the effect of factor score regres…
