The present study examined the relationship between police operational stress and emotional intelligence. The study also observed the difference in operational stress and emotional intelligence concerning gender, rank, education, and marital status. The sample included 80 police officers from Bangalore, India. The operational police stress questionnaire developed by McCreary and Thompson (2006) and emotional intelligence scale developed by Hyde et al. (2002) were used to measure police operational stress and emotional intelligence, respectively. Independent sample t-test and Cohen’s d indicated that differences in gender, rank, education, and marital status had no significant effect on police operational stress. Gender differences had a significant effect on the emotional intelligence factors, empathy, and self-motivation. Differences in rank had a significant effect on empathy, self-motivation, emotional stability, managing relationships, integrity, value orientation, and commitment. Differences in marital status had a significant effect on value orientation. Correlation analysis showed that operational stress had a significant negative relationship with emotional intelligence and its factors such as self-motivation, emotional stability, value orientation, and altruistic behavior. Regression analysis showed emotional intelligence and its factor, emotional stability, as significant predictors of police operational stress.

本研究研究了警察操作压力与情商之间的关系。该研究还观察到了操作压力和情绪智力在性别，等级，学历和婚姻状况方面的差异。样本包括来自印度班加罗尔的80名警察。McCreary和Thompson（2006）编写了行动警察压力调查表，Hyde等人开发了情绪智力量表。（2002年）分别用于衡量警察的工作压力和情商。独立样本t检验和Cohen d指出性别，职等，学历和婚姻状况的差异对警察的工作压力没有显着影响。性别差异对情绪智力因素，同理心和自我激励有重大影响。等级差异对同理心，自我激励，情绪稳定，人际关系管理，正直，价值取向和承诺有重大影响。婚姻状况的差异对价值取向有重大影响。相关分析表明，操作压力与情绪智力及其自身动机，情绪稳定性，价值取向和利他行为等因素具有显着的负相关关系。回归分析显示，情商及其影响因素，情绪稳定性是警方行动压力的重要预测指标。
