1998-1999年，对美国三个城市的733名警察进行了日常工作压力与心理困扰的关系调查。工作环境量表（WEI）的开发，以评估暴露于日常工作的压力，而不包括与职责相关的创伤性压力（重大事件）。本文介绍了工作压力暴露指数及其一般特征，并探讨了工作压力暴露与心理困扰的关系。暴露于日常工作压力预测一般的心理困扰（r = 0.46），以及创伤后应激症状后，军官的最创伤性的职业生涯事件（rs = 0.26至0.39）。多变量分析发现，这些影响是独立的，大于累积的关键事件暴露的影响。(Time因为最具创伤性的事件、社会支持和社会期望效应也在统计学上得到控制。常规职业压力暴露似乎是警察心理困扰的一个重要风险因素，也是创伤后应激症状的一个令人惊讶的强预测因素。
The relationship between routine work stress and psychological distress was investigated among 733 police officers in three US cities, during 1998-1999. The Work Environment Inventory (WEI) was developed to assess exposure to routine work stressors, while excluding duty-related traumatic stressors (critical incidents). The WEI and its general properties are presented The relationship between routine work stress exposure and psychological distress is then explored. Exposure to routine work stressors predicted general psychological distress (r = 0.46), as well as post-traumatic stress symptoms following officers' most traumatic career incident (rs = 0.26 to 0.39). Multivariate analyses found that these effects were independent of and larger than, the effects of cumulative critical incident exposure. (Time since the most traumatic event, social support, and social desirability effects were also controlled statistically.) Routine occupational stress exposure appears to be a significant risk factor for psychological distress among police officers, and a surprisingly strong predictor of post-traumatic stress symptoms.
