Psychological security versus psychological safety

Abstract

The concept of psychological security versus psychological insecurity derives from a complex system of interaction conditioned by several factors. On a situational level, we can approach psychological safety, which is a state that the subject is aware of, compared to psychological safety, which represents an unconscious complex construct, a feeling, which includes several structural elements that make it up, such as personal and emotional safety, which represents exactly as psychological security a deep feeling related to unsatisfied needs, but also their antipode the insecurity conditioned by the phenomenon of psychological insecurity as a current state. This article presents ideas about decision-making when safety versus psychological insecurity is activated, but which are deeply rooted in a deep sense of psychological security or insecurity.
