In Abraham Maslow's 'Hierarchy of Needs', which of the following is the most significant psychological distinction between 'Deficiency Needs' (D-Needs) and 'Growth Needs' (B-Needs)?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
In Abraham Maslow's humanist theory, the needs of the first four levels (physiological, safety, belongingness, and esteem) are called 'Deficiency Needs' (D-Needs) because they arise due to a deficit of something and their satisfaction ends or reduces their motivation. In contrast, needs like 'Self-Actualization' at the top of the hierarchy are called 'Growth Needs' (B-Needs), which are linked to the development and realization of a person's inner potential and increase motivation further when satisfied.
