According to Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, when lower-level needs—such as physiological and safety needs—are adequately satisfied, the center of a person's motivation shifts from 'Deficiency Needs or D-needs' to 'Growth Needs or B-needs'. In this context, which of the following is the most prominent and psychologically distinct trait of the 'Growth Needs' (B-needs) described by Maslow?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
According to Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, there are two main classes of motivation: deficiency needs (D-needs) and growth needs (B-needs). The intensity of D-needs (such as food, security, belonging) decreases when they are met because they fulfill a lack. Conversely, B-needs (such as self-actualization and utilizing one's full potential) are 'growth needs', which arise not from an external shortage, but from an inner desire for personal growth and creativity. Their characteristic is that they never diminish; rather, their satisfaction makes the individual's growth even more intense.
