According to Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, after fulfilling basic physiological and safety needs, an individual progressively moves towards social belongingness, self-esteem, and finally the full development of their highest inner potential, known as 'Self-Actualization'. In the context of this theory, which of the following statements most accurately explains the fundamental difference between 'Deficiency Needs' (D-needs) and 'Growth Needs' (B-needs)?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
According to Abraham Maslow's Theory of Human Motivation, needs are divided into two main categories: Deficiency Needs (D-needs) and Growth Needs (B-needs). D-needs include physiological, safety, love, and esteem needs, the non-fulfillment of which causes physical or mental stress and deficiency in an individual.
In contrast, B-needs are associated with 'Self-Actualization' located at the apex of the pyramid, which are driven not to make up for a lack of something, but to express an individual's hidden potentials and inner growth.
