Study Notes
Maslow's Hierarchy of Human Needs
- Physiological needs (basic needs such as food, water, shelter, and safety) must be met before an individual can strive to meet the higher needs.
- Maslow used a pyramid to illustrate his theory of human needs because it visually represents the hierarchical structure of human needs, with the most basic needs at the base and the highest needs at the top.
- The basis of Maslow's Hierarchy of Human Needs is the idea that human beings have different levels of needs, ranging from basic physiological needs to self-actualization and personal growth.
- Maslow's theory implies that physiological needs are fundamental and essential for human survival, and therefore, they must be met first before individuals can pursue higher needs.
- Maslow chose a hierarchical structure for his theory because it suggests that lower-level needs must be satisfied before higher-level needs can be addressed, and that individuals are motivated to move up the hierarchy towards self-actualization.
