In the context of Abraham Maslow's 'Hierarchy of Needs', which of the following is the most significant psychological distinction between higher-level needs (Growth Needs/B-Needs) and lower-level needs (Deficiency Needs/D-Needs)?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
According to Abraham Maslow's theory, the lower four levels are termed Deficiency Needs (D-Needs) because they arise due to deprivation. Once these needs are satisfied, their motivational drive decreases.
Conversely, the highest levels, such as Self-Actualization, are known as Growth Needs or Being Needs (B-Needs). These do not disappear when met; rather, they propel the individual toward realizing their full potential and continuous personal growth.
- D-Needs: Driven by lack or deficit; aimed at homeostasis and survival.
- B-Needs: Driven by the desire for personal fulfillment and self-actualization; increase in intensity upon being met.
