    Study Notes

    Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

    • Deficiency Needs: Maslow identifies five deficiency needs: physiological, safety, love/belonging, esteem, and self-actualization.
    • Highest Level of Needs: The term "self-actualization" refers to the highest level in Maslow's hierarchy, representing the fulfillment of personal potential and self-improvement.
    • Field of Study: Psychology commonly employs Maslow's hierarchy of needs to understand human motivation and behavior.

    Components and Levels of Needs

    • Social Connection: Examples of small social connections include friendships or casual acquaintances, which contribute to feelings of belonging.
    • Consequences of Unmet Needs: Lack of love and belonging can lead to feelings of loneliness, isolation, and emotional distress.
    • Esteem Needs: Key components of esteem needs include self-esteem and recognition; however, confidence is not considered a component in this context.
    • Prerequisites for Motivation: Physiological needs, such as food and shelter, must be satisfied before a person is motivated to fulfill higher-level needs.
    • Fundamental Layers: The four foundational layers of Maslow's hierarchy are physiological, safety, love/belonging, and esteem needs.
    • Behavior Dominance: Once physiological needs are met, safety needs tend to dominate behavior, driving individuals to seek security and stability.

    Motivation Beyond Basic Needs

    • Beyond Basic Needs: The term "self-actualization" captures the motivation of individuals aiming for continuous improvement and fulfillment beyond just satisfying basic needs.
