Highlights
Mental load arises from all situations which stimulate cognitive, emotional, and other personality sources for adaptation response in an individual
The first aim of the present study was to explore the use of different attachment and coping strategies among members of the security services of the Czech Republic, and explore the level of experienced mental overload
From the descriptive analysis it can be concluded that both attachment and coping strategies were averagely used by the subjects of our study, while the mental overload was somewhat lower than the norm
Summary
Mental load arises from all situations which stimulate cognitive, emotional, and other personality sources for adaptation response in an individual. The general stressors causing this results from completely new or unusual situations, qualitative and quantitative overload or interpersonal conflicts It can be a product of a limitation of certain factors for various periods, and these specific circumstances can fundamentally change the behavior of each individual (Bedrnová, Pauknerová, & Cejthamlová, 2015; Bowling & Jex, 2013). Two constructs of individual differences, attachment in adulthood (Mikulincer & Shaver, 2007) and coping strategies (Janke & Erdmannová, 2003) were investigated in this field Even though their association with experiencing a load seems to be clear, there are not enough conclusions to their interactions in predicting a currently perceived load. The aim of the current study is to investigate the use of different attachment and coping strategies among members of the security services of the Czech Republic, and explore the level of experienced mental overload. The wider goal is to consider the potential utilization of attachment and coping strategies in the selection procedures for members of the security services
