Study Notes
Understanding Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
- Maslow's hierarchy of needs includes basic physiological needs such as food, water, and shelter, which are essential for survival and well-being.
- Physiological needs are considered the most important, as all other needs become secondary until these are met.
- Safety needs involve feeling physically and psychologically secure, including protection from illness, violence, and financial difficulties.
- Relationship needs include the need for love, belonging, and acceptance within social groups, and their absence can lead to loneliness and depression.
- Esteem needs encompass the need for respect from others and self-respect, and can be fulfilled through accomplishments and recognition.
- Self-actualization represents the desire to realize one's full potential and achieve personal growth and fulfillment.
- Maslow identified several characteristics of self-actualized individuals, including objectivity, spontaneity, and the ability to form deep relationships.
- In the 1970s, Maslow expanded his model to include cognitive needs (desire for knowledge) and aesthetic needs (appreciation of beauty).
- Maslow later added self-transcendence to the hierarchy, involving transcending personal concerns and seeing life from a higher perspective.
- Maslow's hierarchy includes deficiency needs (stemming from deprivation) and growth needs (motivated by a desire to grow and develop).
- Maslow's model is often misconstrued as a pyramid or triangle, but he never depicted it that way.
- Maslow clarified that needs do not have to be fully met before higher-level needs can be addressed, and needs coexist and compete for fulfillment.
