Emotional Intelligence and Empathy in the Self-Regulation of the Activities of Law Enforcement Officers

В статье обсуждаются особенности эмоционального интеллекта, эмпатии и саморегуляции у сотрудников органов внутренних дел. Цель исследования состояла в определении гендерных и возрастных особенностей данных явлений, структуры их взаимосвязей и влияний. Выборка была представлена сотрудниками полиции Санкт-Петербурга и Ленинградской области общим количеством респондентов 156 человек (мужчины: n = 89; женщины: n = 67). Методы: «Опросник эмоционального интеллекта “ЭмИн”» Д.В. Люсина, «Методика диагностики уровня эмпатических способностей» В.В. Бойко. В результате исследования установлен значимо высокий уровень (при р ≤ 0,05) эмоционального интеллекта у представителей мужской выборки по сравнению с женской, преимущество эмпатических способностей в женской выборке, более высокий уровень эмпатии у представителей младшей группы мужской выборки (18—20 лет). Выявлены особенности взаимосвязей эмоционального интеллекта и эмпатии, обсуждена их роль в эмоциональной саморегуляции. Корреляции, отражающие возможности сознательного эмоционального самоуправления, позволяют прогнозировать стабильность саморегуляции у представителей женской выборки в зависимости от внутренних аспектов, и регуляцию чужих эмоций в зависимости от коммуникативных внешних факторов у представителей группы мужской выборки.
