One important measure of organizational police stress is the Organizational Police Stress Questionnaire (PSQ-Org; was . The purpose of the present study was to translate the measure into Bangla and validate in Bangladeshi Culture. A total of 210 police officers participated in this survey. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) of the data from 160 participants (who provided complete responses) identified four factor structures for PSQ-Org with 14 items. The four factors for PSQ-Org namely 'Poor management and bureaucracy', 'Lack of manpower and resources', 'Feelings of excessive duty and being supervised' and 'Lack of leisure time and negative evaluations' together explained 55.14% of the total variance. The PSQ-Org showed moderate to high internal consistency (Cronbach's α =.80 for PSQ-Org; and .57 to .66 for its factors) strong translation validity and convergent validity. Thus, the Bangla version PSQ-Org appears to be a valid and reliable measure that can be used for further research in Bangladesh.

& Thompson. This study aimed to translate the instrument into Bangla and validate it
according to Bangladeshi Culture. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) of the data from
160 participants (who provided complete responses) identifi ed four factor structures for
PSQ-Op with 19 items. The four factors for PSQ-Op namely ‘Excessive workload and
risk’, ‘Social affairs and image’, ‘Feelings of all time work and social blame’ and ‘Physical
and interpersonal problems’ together explained 56.94% of the total variance. This study
was novel in the sense that previous study has not identifi ed any factor structure for
this instrument. The PSQ-Op showed good internal consistency (Cronbach’s α =.89 for
PSQ-Op; .71 - .85 for its factors), strong translation and convergent validity. Thus, the
Bangla version PSQ-Op appears to be a valid and reliable instrument for using it for
research purpose in the country.

He is alert, able to listen, and think. The way a person thinks and handles situations also indicates his intellectual/mental health. Intellectual health also entails creativity, general knowledge, and common sense. It also involves a person's ability to make sound decisions. This is important to a person's health and well being.

According to instinct approaches to motivation, people and animals are born preprogrammed with sets of behaviors essential to their survival. Those instincts provide the energy that channels behavior in appropriate directions.
