N2  - AIM: The aim of the study was to characterize the aggressiveness and hostility as well as self-evaluation among police officers. METHOD: The research was conducted in a period of four months, during the law enforcement officers psychological training. A group of 59 occupationally active police officers, aged between 22 and 48 were seen. Two psychological methods were used: Buss - Durkee Hostility - Guilt Inventory named in the Polish version "Nastroje i Humory" (NiH), adapted by M. Choynowski, which measures aggression and hostility and "Arkusz Samooceny" R. Cibora which measures self concept as well as self-evaluation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The findings show an average level of aggressiveness and hostility as well as quite a high self-evaluation among police officers. The older the police officers were, the higher the aggressiveness and the lower the self-evaluation were (p<0.05).<p /> <p>Language: pl</p>
