In the new article \u201cBurnout as predictor of aggressivity among police officers\u201d Cristina Queir\u00f3s, Mariana Kaiseler and Ant\u00f3nio Leit\u00e3o da Silva investigate whether burnout is a predictor of aggressivity among police officers. The study deals with the relationship between burnout and aggressivity, using regression analysis to identify aggressivity predictors. Feelings of high depersonalisation and low personal accomplishment are the burnout dimensions that most strongly explain anger and aggressivity, whereas emotional exhaustion only explains 4% of verbal aggression. The study highlights the need to develop prevention strategies of stress, aiming to avoid the development of burnout as occupational chronic stress, and decreasing the risk of developing aggressivity among police officers.
