  1. The human in the uniform LEPH 2018 - Toronto

  2. Whatis the goal of thissession? Reflection on: • How toinvestigateresilience? • How couldour research improvepolicework? Background MSc Neurobiology Lecturer Police Leadership PhD Candidate – neurobiology of resilience #LEPH2018 - Toronto - @teunpieter

  3. Resilienceindividual: threeperspectives the ability to function successfully under challenging circumstances Functioningsuccessfully: spirit (spirituality) Abilitytofunction: body (physiological) Functioningunderchallengingcircumstances: mind (psychological) #LEPH2018 - Toronto - @teunpieter

  4. Human performance individual group organisation #LEPH2018 - Toronto - @teunpieter

  5. Huntingforanexplanatorymechanism Homeostasis • Remainingthesame(Cannon, 1929) • Functionintegrity of a dynamic, open and composedwhole in interactionwith a continouislychanging context (Smit, 2018) In practice: • Focus on skills • Instrumental approach • Whenconfrontedwith ‘theunusual’, climate moves from ‘identity and meaning’ to ‘behaviour and skills’. #LEPH2018 - Toronto - @teunpieter

  6. Levels of learning (Bateson) anxiety #LEPH2018 - Toronto - @teunpieter

  7. Examples • Training Mental Strength • InspireResilienceScale • Group resilience • Moralresilience Personal challenges: • Focus on craftmanship – not gadgets or pathology • Connection betweenphysical, mental and other kind of indicators #LEPH2018 - Toronto - @teunpieter

  8. Keyelements of stressor • Unpredictable • Uncertainty ‘I have had a greatmanytroubles in my life. And most never happened…’ Mark Twain #LEPH2018 - Toronto - @teunpieter

  9. Acute stress-response en coördination Optimalstressor-aimedorchestration of organ and tissue functions. The braincoördinates the different responses. Goal is to adaptivelycopewith the stressor. #LEPH2018 - Toronto - @teunpieter

  10. #LEPH2018 - Toronto - @teunpieter

  11. Next step • Self-reported and biological markers of resilience (cross-sectional analysis) • Relationship of IRS scores with biological markers of resilience, e.g., MR haplotype and other genotypes • Performance of Inspire Resilience Scale as selection aid (longitudinal analysis) • Predictive validity of psychological and biological markers of resilience. #LEPH2018 - Toronto - @teunpieter

  12. Corticosteroid receptors / Hippocampus Mineralocorticoid Receptors Glucocorticoid receptors Mineralocorticoid receptorhigh affinityalmost always occupied Glucocorticoid receptorlower affinityoccupied after stress Whybiomarkers? #LEPH2018 - Toronto - @teunpieter

  13. Whybiomarkers? Cortisol Mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) • Response selection Glucocortoid receptor (GR) • Memory storage • Preparation future encouters MR and GR need to operate in the right balance to maintain healthy and for optimal resilience. #LEPH2018 - Toronto - @teunpieter

  14. Glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid receptor distribution GR MR #LEPH2018 - Toronto - @teunpieter

  15. Whybiomarkers? Decreased MR expression in limbic brain structures • Chronic stress • Depression Increased MR expression • Promotion slow wave sleep • Increased cognitive performance • Reduced anxiety #LEPH2018 - Toronto - @teunpieter

  16. Whybiomarkers? MR-haplotype 2 associated with • more dynamic cortisol response • increased optimism • less rumination • less burn-out • less risk for depression #LEPH2018 - Toronto - @teunpieter
