A Psychological Safety Research Pulse survey (n=121) on how familiar people in their workplace are with the concept of psychological safety. Responses form a broadly normal, middle-ground distribution: most people have heard of the term but few consider themselves experts, and a solid minority have yet to encounter it. Familiarity was highest in consulting, healthcare, finance, and technology, and lower in education and government. The overall picture is of awareness that is growing but still uneven, and a caution against the psychological safety community's 'bubble' assumption that everyone already knows what the term means.
