Because the world is round
according to Maslow, people who have difficulty achieving very basic physiological needs (such as food, shelter, etc.) are not capable of meeting higher growth needs. Maslow (1943) initially stated that individuals must satisfy lower level deficit needs before progressing on to meet higher level growth needs. (185) Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a motivational theory in psychology comprising a five-tier model of human needs, often depicted as hierarchical levels within a pyramid. (177) Another criticism concerns Maslow's assumption that the lower needs must be satisfied before a person can achieve their potential and self-actualize. (171) Maslow continued to refine his theory based on the concept of a hierarchy of needs over several decades (Maslow, 1943, 1962, 1987). (169) It is important to note that Maslow's (1943, 1954) five-stage model has been expanded to include cognitive and aesthetic needs (Maslow, 1970a) and later transcendence needs (Maslow, 1970b). (169) Esteem needs - which Maslow classified into two categories: (i) esteem for oneself (dignity, achievement, mastery, independence) and (ii) the desire for reputation or respect from others (e.g., status, prestige). (166) Esteem needs - which Maslow classified into two categories: (i) esteem for oneself (dignity, achievement, mastery, independence) and (ii) the desire for reputation or respect from others (e.g., status, prestige). (166) Maslow (1943, 1954) stated that people are motivated to achieve certain needs and that some needs take precedence over others. (164) Maslow's (1962) hierarchy of needs theory has made a major contribution to teaching and classroom management in schools. (161) Respondents answered questions about six needs that closely resemble those in Maslow's model: basic needs (food, shelter); safety; social needs (love, support); respect; mastery; and autonomy. (158) Maslow noted that the order of needs might be flexible based on external circumstances or individual differences. (152) Maslow (1987) also pointed out that most behavior is multi-motivated and noted that “any behavior tends to be determined by several or all of the basic needs simultaneously rather than by only one of them” (p. (152) Maslow considered physiological needs the most important as all the other needs become secondary until these needs are met. (149) Self-actualization needs - realizing personal potential, self-fulfillment, seeking personal growth and peak experiences. (147) This is not always the case, and therefore Maslow's hierarchy of needs in some aspects has been falsified. (147) Self-actualization needs - realizing personal potential, self-fulfillment, seeking personal growth and peak experiences. (147) Love and belongingness needs - after physiological and safety needs have been fulfilled, the third level of human needs is social and involves feelings of belongingness. (144) From the bottom of the hierarchy upwards, the needs are: physiological, safety, love and belonging, esteem and self-actualization. (143) Once these growth needs have been reasonably satisfied, one may be able to reach the highest level called self-actualization. (141) Through examining cultures in which large numbers of people live in poverty (such as India), it is clear that people are still capable of higher order needs such as love and belongingness. (139) A person may be motivated by higher growth needs at the same time as lower level deficiency needs. (134) This is what we mean by saying that the basic human needs are organized into a hierarchy of relative prepotency" (Maslow, 1943, p. (133) "Although the most basic needs might get the most attention when you don't have them," Diener explains, "you don't need to fulfill them in order to get benefits [from the others]." Even when we are hungry, for instance, we can be happy with our friends. (131) Needs lower down in the hierarchy must be satisfied before individuals can attend to needs higher up. (130) Psychologist Abraham Maslow (1943, 1954) stated that human motivation is based on people seeking fulfillment and change through personal growth. (130) (b) needs are organized in a hierarchy of prepotency in which more basic needs must be more or less met (rather than all or none) prior to higher needs. (126) The first four levels are often referred to as deficiency needs (D-needs), and the top level is known as growth or being needs (B-needs). (124) When a deficit need has been 'more or less' satisfied it will go away, and our activities become habitually directed towards meeting the next set of needs that we have yet to satisfy. (121) However, he later clarified that satisfaction of a needs is not an “all-or-none” phenomenon, admitting that his earlier statements may have given “the false impression that a need must be satisfied 100 percent before the next need emerges” (1987, p. (120) Before a student's cognitive needs can be met, they must first fulfill their basic physiological needs. (116) Physiological needs - these are biological requirements for human survival, e.g. air, food, drink, shelter, clothing, warmth, sex, sleep. (116) Growth needs do not stem from a lack of something, but rather from a desire to grow as a person. (111) For others, the need for creative fulfillment may supersede even the most basic needs. (111) (a) human beings are motivated by a hierarchy of needs. (111) However, growth needs continue to be felt and may even become stronger once they have been engaged. (110) This five-stage model can be divided into deficiency needs and growth needs. (106) Deficiency needs arise due to deprivation and are said to motivate people when they are unmet. (106) (c) the order of needs is not rigid but instead may be flexible based on external circumstances or individual differences. (105) Therefore, not everyone will move through the hierarchy in a uni-directional manner but may move back and forth between the different types of needs. (103) Also, the motivation to fulfill such needs will become stronger the longer the duration they are denied. (102) The results of the study support the view that universal human needs appear to exist regardless of cultural differences. (102) Love and belongingness needs - friendship, intimacy, trust, and acceptance, receiving and giving affection and love. (102) Psychologists now conceptualize motivation as a pluralistic behavior, whereby needs can operate on many levels simultaneously. (101) Biological and physiological needs - air, food, drink, shelter, warmth, sex, sleep, etc. (100) Cognitive needs - knowledge and understanding, curiosity, exploration, need for meaning and predictability. (100) Unfortunately, progress is often disrupted by a failure to meet lower level needs. (100) If these needs are not satisfied the human body cannot function optimally. (100) Safety needs - protection from elements, security, order, law, stability, freedom from fear. (99) Instead of focusing on psychopathology and what goes wrong with people, Maslow (1943) formulated a more positive account of human behavior which focused on what goes right. (99)
according to Maslow, people who have difficulty achieving very basic physiological needs (such as food, shelter, etc.) are not capable of meeting higher growth needs.
