WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Personal Safety State Assessment Test - Symptoms and Signs

security

This measure evaluates perceived personal safety and related feelings of stability and confidence in one’s environment. The Personal Safety State Assessment is intended to characterize how predictable, calm, and secure an individual experiences daily situations in the absence of immediate threat. It is attributed to Ronald C. Kessler and David Goldberg.

The instrument consists of 59 items and typically requires about 11 minutes to complete. Items sample emotional and behavioral indicators associated with a subjective sense of safety and may help identify areas of heightened concern or tension relevant to clinical case formulation and treatment planning. In applied settings, the Personal Safety State Assessment can be used as part of broader assessment to inform discussion of stress response patterns and perceived security in everyday functioning.
