people are continually motivated by one need or another
Assumes that lower level needs MUST be satisfied or at least relatively satisfied before higher level needs become motivators.
Lower level needs have PREPOTENCY over higher level needs; that is, they must be satisfied or mostly satisfied before higher level needs become activated.
The five needs are CONATIVE NEEDS, meaning they have a striving or motivational character
physiological needs
MOST basic needs of any person
physiological needs
most prepotent of all
physiological needs
They are the only needs that can be completely satisfied or even overly satisfied
physiological need
recuring nature
safety needs
Differ from physiological needs in that they CANNOT BE OVERLY SATISFIED
safety needs
physical security, stability, dependency, protection, and freedom from threatening forces
love and belonging needs
desire for friendship, wish for a mate and children, need to belong to a family, a club, a neighborhood, or a nation.
love and belongingness needs
Includes some aspect of sex and human contact as well as the need to both give and receive love.
esteem needs
include self-respect, confidence, competence, and the knowledge that others hold them in high esteem
reputation
in the eyes of others
self esteem
levels of esteem needs own feelings of worth and confidence
self actualization
include self- fulfillment, the realization of all one’s potential, and a desire to become creative in the full sense of the word
self-actualizers
NOT dependent on the satisfaction of either love or esteem needs; they become independent from the lower level needs that gave them birth.
self actualizing
People who highly respect such values as truth, beauty, justice and the other b-values become what?
bvalues
indicators of psychological health and are opposed to DEFICIENCYNEEDS, which motivate non-self actualizers
metaneeds
He termed b values this to indicate that they are the ultimate level of needs
metamotivation
motives of self-actualizing people
existential illness
Maslow hypothesized that when people's metaneeds are not met, they experience?
pathology
Absence of the B-values leads to
metapathology
Deprivation of any of the B-values results in this or the lack of a meaningful philosophy of life.
Self-actualizing people are capable of both giving and receiving love and are no longer motivated by the kind of DEFICIENCY LOVE
b love
mutually felt and shared and are not motivated by a deficiency or incompleteness within the lover.
aesthetic needs
the need for beauty and aesthetically pleasing experiences
cognitive needs
desire to know, to solve mysteries, to understand, and to be curious
neurotic needs
lead only to stagnation and pathology
Reversed need
usually more apparent than real. If we understood the unconscious motivation underlying the behavior, we would recognize that the needs are not reversed.
unmotivated behavior
conditioned reflexes, maturation, or drugs.
expressive behaviour
which is often unmotivated
coping behavior
which is always motivated and aimed at satisfying a need.
expressive behavior
frequently unconscious and usually takes place naturally and with little effort. It has no goals and is merely the person's mode of expression
coping behavior
ordinarily conscious, effortful, learned and determined by the external environment.
deprivation of needs
Lack of satisfaction of any of the basic needs leads to some kind of pathology
metapathology
deprivation of self- actualization needs, the absence of values, the lack of fulfillment, and the loss of meaning in life
instictoid needs
Maslow hypothesized that some human needs are innately determined even though they can be modified by learning.
Higher needs are similar to lower ones in that they are instinctoid.
