Higher Percentages for Expressive behaviors also include Self-Actualizers one’s gait, gestures, voice, and smile (even when alone). For self-actualizing individuals, Expressive behavior is usually Maslow believed the satisfaction unlearned, spontaneous, and percentages would be higher determined by forces within the overall because they have already person rather than by the satisfied much of their lower-level environment needs.

A second criterion for Maslow held that self-actualizing distinguishing between instinctoid people are metamotivated by such and noninstinctoid needs is that B-values as truth, goodness, instinctoid needs are persistent beauty, justice, and simplicity. and their satisfaction leads to Four criteria must be met before a psychological health. person achieves self-actualization: Noninstinctoid needs, in contrast, (1) absence of psychopathology, are usually temporary and their (2) satisfaction of each of the four satisfaction is not a prerequisite for lower-level needs, (3) full health. realization of one's potential for A third distinction is that instinctoid growth, and (4) acceptance of the needs are species-specific.

Values of Self-Actualizers held that self-actualizing people are motivated by the “eternal verities,” what he called B-values These “Being” values are indicators of psychological health and are opposed to deficiency needs, which motivate non-self-actualizers. B-values are not needs in the same sense that food, shelter, or companionship are. Maslow termed B-values as “metaneeds” to indicate that they are the ultimate level of needs. He distinguished between ordinary need motivation and the motives of self-actualizing people, which he called metamotivation. Metamotivation is characterized by expressive rather than coping behavior and is Efficient Reality Perception: associated with the B-values.
