    Uploaded by

    Jeane ann Jordan
    Abraham Maslow was an American psychologist known for founding humanistic psychology and developing the hierarchy of needs theory. Maslow's hierarchy suggests that people have a set of needs that must be met in a specific order, with basic physiological and safety needs at the bottom, and self-actualization needs at the top. As lower level needs are satisfied, people are able to pursue meeting higher level needs for belongingness, esteem, and self-actualization.

    ABRAHAM MASLOW

    ABRAHAM MASLOW WAS AN AMERICAN


    PSYCHOLOGIST PERHAPS BEST KNOWN AS ONE OF THE
    FOUNDERS OF HUMANISTIC PSYCHOLOGY AND FOR HIS
    FAMOUS HIERARCHY OF NEEDS.
    MASLOW’S HIERARCHY OF NEEDS SUGGESTED
    THAT PEOPLE HAVE A NUMBER OF NEEDS, AND AS
    THESE NEEDS ARE MET THEY ARE ABLE TO GO ON TO
    PURSUE OTHER NEEDS. THE NEEDS AT THE BASE OF HIS
    HIERARCHY ARE MORE BASIC IN NATURE, GRADUALLY
    MOVING UP INTO MORE SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL AND
    SELF-ACTUALIZING NEEDS AS ONE MOVES UP THE
    HIERARCHY.
    ORIGINAL MASLOW’S HIERARCHY OF REVISED MASLOW’S HIERARCHY OF
    NEEDS NEEDS
    Deficiency needs are basic needs arising
    from being deprived of something.
    Growth needs arise as a desire to grow as
    an individual. According to Malow’s
    original theory, a person has to fulfill her
    deficiency needs before she can move on
    to fulfilling growth needs.
    Physiological needs – This lowest category includes biological requirements for human survival. If
    these needs are not satisfied the human body cannot function optimally. Maslow considered
    physiological needs the most important as all the other needs become secondary until these needs
    are met.
    • Example: Air, food, drink, shelter, clothing, warmth, sex, sleep.

    Safety needs – These needs are about keeping us safe from harm. If a person does not feel safe in an
    environment, they will seek to find safety before they attempt to meet any higher level needs. This
    security needs are important for survival, but they are not as important as the basic physiological
    needs.
    • Example: Safety, shelter, security, law and order, employment, health, stability, etc.
    Love and belongingness needs – after physiological and safety needs have been fulfilled, the
    third level of human needs is social and involves feelings of belongingness. The need for
    interpersonal relationships motivates behavior. These needs are met through pleasing and
    fulfilling relationship with others. A pleasing and fulfilling relationship would imply acceptance
    by others.
    • Examples: Friendship, intimacy, trust, and acceptance, receiving and giving affection and
    love. Affiliating, being part of a group (family, friends, work).

    Esteem needs – After the more basic needs have been satisfied, esteem needs becomes
    important to an individual. Maslow classified esteem needs into two categories: (1) self-esteem
    (dignity, achievement, mastery, independence) and (2) self-worth (e.g., status, prestige).
    Maslow indicated that the need for respect or reputation is most important for children and
    adolescents and precedes real self-esteem or dignity.
    Cognitive needs – knowledge and understanding, curiosity, exploration, need for meaning and
    predictability.

    Aesthetic needs – appreciation and search for beauty, balance, form, etc.

    Self-actualization needs – Self Actualization is the highest level of Maslow’s hierarchy. This
    level of need pertains to what a person’s full potential is that realizing that potential. “What a
    man can be, he must be” is the basis of the perceived need for self-actualization. Maslow
    describes this as the desire to become everything that one is capable of becoming.
    • Example: realizing personal potential, self fulfillment, pursue talent, personal growth, peak
    experiences, creativity, etc.
    Transcendence needs – A person is motivated by values which transcend beyond the personal
    self.
    • Example: Mystical experiences and certain experiences with nature, aesthetic experiences,
    sexual experiences, service to others, the pursuit of science, religious faith, etc.
