Safety Needs Satisfaction Assessment Test - Symptoms and Signs
This brief self-report measure assesses perceived satisfaction of safety-related needs in social and interpersonal contexts. The Safety Needs Satisfaction Assessment is intended to capture an individual’s sense of psychological protection, comfort, and security around others.
The instrument consists of 7 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete. Items ask respondents to rate statements reflecting felt safety, confidence, and capacity to maintain emotional steadiness under social stress.
In clinical or counseling settings, scores from the Safety Needs Satisfaction Assessment may help identify areas of vulnerability related to perceived social support, trust, and interpersonal threat sensitivity, and can inform treatment planning or ongoing monitoring. The measure is attributed to E. L. Deci and R. M. Ryan.
