Abstract
Police officers are routinely exposed to situations that elicit intense negative emotions;
thus, officers have a particularly strong need for effective methods of regulating such
emotions. The main purpose of this study was to investigate whether a manualized
emotion-regulation training (Integrative Training of Emotional Competencies; iTEC;
Berking, 2010a) can improve the emotion-regulation skills of police officers. First, self-
reports of 9 emotion-regulation skills were assessed in a sample of officers (N=31) and
compared to those of a matched community-based control group. Then, the effects of
the training on the emotion-regulation skills of officers were evaluated in a time-
staggered design with a waitlist control condition. Results indicate that, compared to
controls, officers have difficulties in accepting and tolerating negative emotions,
supporting themselves in distressing situations, and confronting emotionally
challenging situations. The training significantly enhanced successful skill application,
especially some skills with which officers reported difficulty applying. These findings
suggest that a focus on emotion-regulation skills may be an important component for
programs aimed at preventing mental-health problems in police officers

reappraisal and expressive suppression. Burnout consists of emotional exhaustion, personal
accomplishment, and depersonalization. The subjects were riot police officers from Jakarta
Regional Police. The sampling methods used were purposive sampling and convenience
sampling. The respondents in this study were 79 men. This study found that emotional
regulation and five trait personality contribute as much as 70.9% towards the burnout
ofJakarta Regional Police riot police officers. Members of riot police who experience burnout
tend to show low emotional regulation and high neuroticism. Keywords: Burnout, emotional
