Abstract

Stress is an integral part of Police personnel. This paper focuses on stress among Police Trainees and identifies the factors causing stress along with the strategies adopted to reduce the stress. Descriptive research with judgmental sampling technique was employed to select a sample of 65 Police Trainees in Kerala Armed Police IVth battalion, Kerala, India. Findings revealed that ‘Pressure from the instructor’ (ß =.786), was the prime cause of stress .It was also found that ‘Low salary’ (ß = -.144), was insignificant as a cause of stress. Regardless of the source of stress, most Police Trainees used variety of sensory pursuits to manage stress. The positive sensory pursuit followed by the trainees was exercise (63%), followed by outings (37%) on weekend days and then TV/ music. Multiple regression analysis, ANOVA, t test etc were used to interpret the results.
