WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Psychological Safety Threats Questionnaire Test

security

This questionnaire is a self-report measure designed to assess perceived threats to an individual’s sense of psychological safety. The Psychological Safety Threats Questionnaire asks respondents to rate the extent to which different types of stressors or risks feel salient in their current life.

The measure includes 36 items and typically takes about 7 minutes to complete. It is intended to support clinical screening and needs assessment by clarifying which domains of perceived threat may be most prominent, which can inform case formulation and treatment planning.

The Psychological Safety Threats Questionnaire has been attributed to Amy C. Edmondson. Interpretation should be integrated with clinical interview data and other relevant measures, with attention to contextual factors that may shape perceived threat and distress.
