Data Sheet 1_Two faces of police stress: Spanish validation of operational and organizatio

Susanna Rubiol Vilalta published a validation study for the Police Stress Questionnaire (PSQ) on April 16, 2026. The dataset likely contains survey responses from Mossos d'Esquadra police officers, used to validate the operational (PSQ-Op) and organizational (PSQ-Org) stress scales. The study examined factorial structure, reliability, and validity through correlations with anxiety, depression, and coping measures.

Use Cases

• Validate psychometric scales for occupational stress based on the described operational and organizational stress constructs.
• Analyze gender differences in stressor perception based on the subtle differences noted in the results.
• Model the relationship between workplace stressors and mental health outcomes based on the convergent validity measures with anxiety and depression.
• Design targeted workplace interventions based on the distinct domains of operational and organizational stress.

Strengths

• Dataset is associated with a formal validation study examining factorial structure, reliability, and validity.
• Scales demonstrate high reliability and adequate psychometric properties as reported in the results.
• Data is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, permitting broad reuse with attribution.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Dataset is very small (135.5 KB), indicating limited scope.
