Guidelines

Tato práce se v teoretické části věnuje konceptu resilience v psychologii, shrnuje jeho historický vývoj a vysvětluje jeho význam pro policejní praxi, včetně příkladů relevantních stresorů. V empirické části se zaměřuje na kvantitativní výzkum osobní a sociální resilience příslušníků Policie ČR v Libereckém kraji, s využitím české verze dotazníku BRS (Brief Resilience Scale).

Cílem práce je zjistit vztah mezi hodnocením vlastního zázemí (rodinného a kolegiálního) a mírou sociální resilience, rozdíly v osobní a sociální resilience mezi policisty a policistkami a vztah mezi sociální a osobní resiliencí.

Analýza dat potvrdila pozitivní korelaci mezi kvalitou zázemí a mírou sociální resilience a také mezi osobní a sociální resiliencí. Byl nalezen statisticky významný rozdíl v osobní resilienci mezi pohlavími. Takový rozdíl však nebyl nalezen v sociální resilienci. Výsledky naznačují, že kvalita zázemí může hrát důležitou roli ve vývoji resilience, což má praktické implikace pro podporu psychologické odolnosti v policejní profesi. Pro přesnější analýzu je však potřeba aplikovat komplexnější výzkumné metody.

Preliminary scope of work

Preliminary scope of work in English

This paper's theoretical part addresses the concept of resilience in psychology, summarizing its historical development and explaining its significance for police practice, including examples of relevant stressors. The empirical part focuses on a quantitative study of personal and social resilience among members of the Police of the Czech Republic (PČR) in the Liberec Region, using the Czech version of the BRS (Brief Resilience Scale) questionnaire.

The aim of the paper is to determine the relationship between the evaluation of one's background (family and collegial) and their level of social resilience, differences in personal and social resilience between male and female police officers, and the relationship between one’s social and personal resilience.

Data analysis confirmed a positive correlation between the quality of one’s background and their level of social resilience, as well as between personal and social resilience. A statistically significant difference in personal resilience between genders was found. However, no such difference was found in social resilience. The results suggest that the quality of one’s background may play an important role in the development of their resilience, which has practical implications for supporting psychological resilience in the police profession. However, more complex research methods are needed for a more accurate analysis.
