MODEL OF PSYCHOLOGICAL READINESS FOR FAMILY, JUVENILE, AND GENDER AND DEVELOPMENT ASSIGNMENTS: A MIXED-METHOD ANALYSIS OF MMPI-2 AND BPAQ ASSESSMENT REPORTS AMONG POLICE PERSONNEL

The assignment of police personnel to Family, Juvenile, and Gender and Development (FJGAD) units requires a unique combination of psychological stability, emotional resilience, interpersonal competence, and professional integrity. Unlike traditional law enforcement assignments that emphasize operational readiness and tactical capability, FJGAD responsibilities involve direct engagement with vulnerable populations, including abused women, children, juveniles in conflict with the law, survivors of violence, and families experiencing psychosocial crises. Consequently, psychological readiness becomes a critical determinant of occupational effectiveness and service quality within these specialized functions. This study aimed to develop a conceptual model of psychological readiness for FJGAD assignments through the analysis of psychological assessment reports derived from the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) and the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ). Specifically, the study sought to identify recurring psychosocial characteristics, determine occupational suitability indicators, and construct a framework describing the psychological competencies associated with readiness for FJGAD roles. The study further examined the prevalence of response distortion, emotional vulnerability, interpersonal dysfunction, behavioral dysregulation, and occupational resilience among assessed personnel. A convergent mixed-method document analysis design was employed. Twenty-four psychological assessment reports were systematically reviewed and analyzed.
