    The main result is that the Pixley-Roy hyperspace of a space X is metrizable iff it is a closed image of a metrizable space iff it is a paracompact p-space (it follows from the proof that the p-space property can be replaced by the property of being of pointwise countable type). Similar characterizations for the hyperspace to be an \(M_ 1\)-space or a Moore space are given. Furthermore, the situation when X satisfies some additional assumptions is considered.
