Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs







READING FOR ESSAY 2

Maslow, Abraham - Introduction 1908–1970

AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGIST, AUTHOR UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN, PhD, 1934

Abraham Maslow is one of the founding fathers of humanistic psychology, an approach to understanding behavior that developed in the middle part of the twentieth century. Maslow was an academic who spent most of his professional career teaching, conducting research, and developing his theories of behavior.

MASLOW'S HIERARCHY OF NEEDS

Maslow's theory centers on the role of motivation in personality.

He was interested in explaining why people do the things that they do—the causes of their behavior. Drawing on research and theory from experimental psychology, anthropology, psychoanalysis, and other fields, Maslow's theory integrates a number of ideas into a comprehensive explanation of the forces that motivate people.

MASLOW'S HIERARCHY OF NEEDS
One of the key elements of Maslow's theory is the hierarchy of basic needs.

Maslow recognized that there were a number of different motivating forces, or needs, that influenced human behavior, and he created the hierarchy of needs to understand how these different forces worked in relation to one another.

For instance, if at some time a person were influenced by both a need for food and a need for safety and security, which of these two needs would have the greatest influence on the person's behavior? Maslow wanted to explain how a person would respond in such a situation, and also to understand how people came to be influenced by more complex, "higher" needs.

Another important element of Maslow's theory is the concept of self-actualization. This term, describes the tendency of humans to fulfill their potential, to become what they can become.
Maslow felt that the need for self-actualization would emerge only after other needs had been reasonably satisfied, and he was particularly interested in people who were acting in response to this need. Maslow felt that it was important to understand this motivation, because he saw it as the key to making a better society.

In his later years, Maslow devoted much of his energy to finding ways to apply the principles of human potential in a variety of fields. Maslow's theory, with its emphasis on healthy functioning, has had an important influence on counseling and other helping professions, on education, and in the business arena.

UP2i - PLAN OF ACTION

It is important that you familiarise yourself with the Maslow Model. Here is a link to a model -
Go to this model of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs


1) print it out
2) study the vocabulary.

Make sure that you develop a basic understanding of each level, and the human needs associated with each level.

Here is
an activity to help you start thinking about Maslow's theory. The language is quite difficult, but with patience, and studying the vocabulary from the model (first link above) you should be able to consolidate your knowledge of Maslow's theory.
GOOD LUCK!


Cheers,
Josephine
