Abstract
Decision-making within police work is a global concern. Our research attempts to contribute to the literature regarding how police officers make decisions. We examined the interactive effects of decision-making style and anger control on decision-making using a sample of 120 police officers. Police officers were presented with a realistic decision-making scenario, and asked to choose their intended action. Results suggest that analytical and intuitive cognitive processes have an interactive effect on decision-making. Results are discussed regarding the implications on officer decision-making training.
