The aims of the present study are three-fold. Firstly, to investigate the use of different attachment and coping strategies among members of the security services of the Czech Republic, and explore the level of experienced mental overload. Secondly, to examine the relationship between the constructs employed in the study. In considering theoretical background and previous research (Janke & Erdmann, 2002; Johnstone & Feeney, 2015; Mikulincer & Shaver, 2012) we expect a negative relationship between positive coping strategies and experienced mental overload, but a positive association between negative coping strategies and experienced mental overload. Thirdly, to explore the incremental validity of hyperactivation and deactivation strategies over and above demographics and coping strategies in predicting mental overload. Both attachment and coping strategies were averagely used by the subjects of our study, while the mental overload was somewhat lower than the norm. Our study shows that the attachment strategies of hyperactivation and deactivation were superior predictors of mental overload. The results suggest that the construct of attachment strategies is more important in predicting workplace overload, compared to negative coping.

The present study investigated individual differences in attachment orientation at work as they relate to workers’ facial expressions to work-related emotions. In a laboratory study, sixty employees completed the Experiences in Work Relationships-Individual scale (EWR-I), which assesses attachment-related regulation strategies at work. Participants’ facial expressions while viewing film clips from a work environment series were assessed using computerized facial analysis software. The results showed that higher avoidant attachment was associated with lower average intensity of happiness expressions. In contrast, higher anxious attachment was associated with lower average intensity of anger and fear expressions. The results of the study suggest that facial expressions in response to work-related emotion stimuli serve as behavioural indicators of emotion regulation at work and, in particular, attachment-related emotion regulation.
