  3. General • The basis of Maslow's motivation theory is that human beings are motivated by unsatisfied needs, and that certain lower factors need to be satisfied before higher needs can be satisfied. • According to Maslow, there are general types of needs (physical, safety, love, esteem, self-actualization) that must be satisfied before a person can act unselfishly

  4. General • Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is most often displayed as a pyramid. The lowest levels of the pyramid are made up of the most basic needs, while the more complex needs are located at the top of the pyramid • Needs at the bottom of the pyramid are basic physical requirements including the need for food, water, sleep and warmth. Once these lower-level needs have been met, people can move on to the next level of needs, which are for safety and security.

  5. Physical • Basic needs are those required to sustain life, such as: • Air • Water • Food • Sleep

  6. Safety Needs • Safety needs means a person is living free from the threat of physical and emotional harm. Such needs might be fulfilled by: • Living in a safe area • Medical insurance • Job security • Financial reserves

  7. Love • Social needs are those related to interaction with others and may include: • Friendship • Belonging to a group • Giving and receiving love

  8. Esteem • Esteem needs are the urge to attain a degree of importance • Recognition • Attention  • Social Status   • Accomplishment • Self-respect

  9. Self-Actualization • Self-Actualization is reaching one's full potential as a person. • Examples are: • Truth • Justice • Wisdom • Meaning

  10. Discussion questions • How does this theory relate to Child Development? • Where are you on the Hierarchy of Needs and why? • Where would you like to be on the Hierarchy of Needs? • Do you think a person can ever reach Self-Actualization? Why or why not?
