Which of the following represents the most subtle and fundamental psychological distinction between 'Deficiency Needs' (D-Needs) and 'Growth Needs' (B-Needs) in Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs theory?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding Maslow's D-Needs and B-Needs
According to Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, the first four levels (physiological, safety, belongingness, and esteem) are termed Deficiency Needs (D-Needs) because they arise due to a deficit and their fulfillment reduces tension.
In contrast, the highest level, Self-Actualization, falls under Growth Needs (B-Needs), which focus on developing a person's inner potential and achieving meaningful experiences rather than merely avoiding deficiency.
- D-Needs: Motivated by a sense of lack; cessation of need once met.
- B-Needs: Motivated by the desire for personal growth; continuous and never fully satisfied.
