role in responding to terrorism in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (a province
touched with the border of Afghanistan), Pakistan” exploring the
perception of police personnel about psychological aspects of police
training and its significance and role in responding to terrorism. For
data collection, a structured questionnaire was designed by using a
Likert scale from 363 respondents determined through the Sekaran
table from a total population size of 6564. To find out the sample
size for each stratum, a proportionate stratified random sampling
technique was used while a systematic sampling method was
applied to select the samples from the three chosen sample groups.
To find out the association between dependent and independent
variable Chi-square test was used. The majority of the respondents
opined that mental stress affects police performance (P=.004), and
knowledge of human behavior is important for every police
personnel (P=.000) and there is a lack of activities for releasing
stress (P=.000). It is concluded from the study that the
psychological aspect in police training is needed to be focused to
counter the terrorists. The study suggests improving the
psychological conditions of police personnel in police training and
