Occupational Stress and Decision-Making Survey.
Thank you for participating in this survey and adding your valuable insights into my MSc Criminology and Criminal Psychology thesis at the University of Essex. The purpose of this research is to explore the relationship between occupational stress and decision-making among UK police officers. Your insights will contribute to a better understanding of how stress affects decision-making in professional contexts, ultimately aiming to inform strategies for improving officer well-being and performance.

This survey is completely anonymous. No identifying information, such as names, email addresses, or IP addresses, will be collected.

Participation is entirely voluntary, and you may choose to stop the survey at any time without penalty.

The survey will take approximately 10–15 minutes to complete.

Your responses will be used solely for academic purposes as part of a thesis project and will comply with GDPR and ethical research standards.

Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey. Your input is valuable and much appreciated.
