| Summary: | The article is devoted to the problem of finding the optimal psychodiagnostic tools that would enable a comprehensive study of individual and personal characteristics of police officers with a view to their psychological selection for service and appointment of current police officers to positions. An empirical study has been conducted covering a representative sample of police officers of juvenile prevention units, based on the theoretical concept of studying the individuality of a police officer based on the principles of systematicity, optimization, theories of integral individuality, traits and orthogonal personality models; the use of scientifically based criteria and indicators of a person’s psychological suitability for police work, which reflect the main individual and personal characteristics of police officers, as well as the implementation of the original author’s psychodiagnostic complex of valid and reliable methods of systematic psychodiagnostic research of police officers. A variant of the diagnostic complex is proposed, which includes adapted tests: general abilities (Amthauer’s level and structure of intelligence, Manoilova’s emotional intelligence, Mede-Piorkowski’s creativity); individual and personal characteristics (questionnaires of Individual-Typological, Mini-Multiple and Big Five), orientation (questionnaires of Richie-Martin and Jones-Crendall). The fact that subjective questionnaires belong to the theoretical orthogonal individual-personality model allows the psychologist to compare, clarify, and supplement the results obtained during testing and formulate a reliable psychodiagnostic conclusion. Thus, according to most criteria and relevant indicators, the psychodiagnostic tools selected for predicting the success of juvenile prevention police officers work successfully. The study using this complex confirmed the possibility of successful differentiation of juvenile prevention police units by levels of psychological fitness for duty and thus predicting the success of their professional actions as police officers. |
