WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Urban Residents' Psychological Safety Scale (URPS) Test

security

Perceived safety in an urban context is shaped by multiple environmental and social factors. The Urban Residents' Psychological Safety Scale (URPS) is a brief self-report measure intended to assess an individual’s sense of psychological safety associated with living in a city.

The instrument includes 20 items and typically requires about 4 minutes to complete. It is designed to capture perceptions across several domains relevant to urban living, which may include psychological, social, health-related, and ecological aspects of perceived safety.

When used in clinical or research settings, the Urban Residents' Psychological Safety Scale (URPS) may support screening and descriptive assessment of how safe and supported a person feels in their neighborhood and broader urban environment. The measure is attributed to S. Cohen.
