Abraham Maslow

• Abraham Harold Maslow - american psychologist who developed a hierarchy of needs to explain human motivation
• Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs - suggested that people have a number of basic needs that must be met before people move up the hierarchy to pursue more social, emotional, and self-actualizing needs
• Self-Actualization - the full use and exploitation of talents, capacities, potentialities, etc.
• People are constantly in the process of striving to reach their full potential
• Physiological Needs - the most basic of Maslow’s hierarchy
• Physiological Needs: air, food, drink, shelter, clothing, warmth, sleep, and health
• Physiological Needs - the most essential needs
• Safety Needs - a safe and secure environment
• Safety Needs - the need to feel safe and secure in life and environment beginning the stage of childhood
• Love and Belonging Needs - the third and the last of the lower needs in the hierarchy of needs
• Love and Belonging - the need to feel a sense of belonging and acceptance
• Failure to meet this need results in a person’s experience of loneliness, rejection and depression.
• Esteem Needs - the desire to feel good about yourself
• Self-Esteem - is feeling confident and good about yourself
• Respect - is feeling valued by other people and knowing that they recognize your achievements
• Self-Actualization Needs - realizing your potential, self-fulfillment, self-development, and peak experiences
• Self-Actualization Needs - the desire to accomplish all that you can and unleash all your potential
• Deficiency Needs - needs you develop due to deprivation
