The ALICE Collaboration has studied J/{Psi} production in pp collisions at {radical}s = 7 TeV at the LHC through its muon pair decay. The polar and azimuthal angle distributions of the decay muons were measured, and results on the J/{Psi} polarization parameters {lambda}{sub {theta}} and {lambda}{sub {phi}} were obtained. The study was performed in the kinematic region 2.5 < y < 4, 2 < p{sub t} < 8 GeV/c, in the helicity and Collins-Soper reference frames. In both frames, the polarization parameters are compatible with zero, within uncertainties.
