Under Abraham Maslow's 'Hierarchy of Needs' theory, if an individual successfully fulfills their physiological and safety needs, and reaches a level of high status, prestige, self-esteem, and recognition from others in society, yet still feels a deep sense of internal dissatisfaction, incompleteness, and a lack of full expression of their potential. According to Maslow's theoretical framework, which top tier of the hierarchy does this individual's condition represent the absence of, and how is it related to being-needs (B-needs)?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding Maslow's Hierarchy
According to Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs theory, once an individual's deficiency needs (D-needs such as physiological, safety, love, and esteem) are satisfied, they progress toward growth needs or B-needs.
At the very top of the hierarchy lies Self-Actualization, which refers to realizing one's full potential, creativity, and intrinsic capabilities. At this stage, the individual is motivated not just by survival or social status, but by self-fulfillment and personal growth.
- Deficiency Needs (D-needs): Motivated by deprivation.
- Being Needs (B-needs): Motivated by the desire for personal growth and self-actualization.
