The study was aimed to investigate relationship between active, adaptive
and maladaptive coping strategies and mental health in police personnel.
The sample included 100 constables, 100 inspectors and 100 officers
incidentally selected from Uttar Pradesh UP police department. The Brief
COPE scale Carver, 1997 and Mental Health Inventory Jagdish &
Srivastava, 1983 were administered on them. Pearson’s product moment
correlations demonstrate that in all police personnel, relationship between
the three types of coping strategies and mental health is largely found to
be positive. The positive correlation of mental health is found to be
significant in relation to active and adaptive strategies in inspectors and in
relation to the active strategies alone in the case of Officers. However in
constables the correlations are not found to be significant.
