Under Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, when an individual satisfies their physiological and safety needs, and subsequently seeks social belongingness, self-esteem, and ultimately the complete expression of their highest internal potentials, i.e., 'self-actualization', which of the following statements is most appropriate and scientifically true regarding Maslow's concepts of 'Deficiency Needs' (D-needs) and 'Growth Needs' (B-needs) in this entire motivational process?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
According to Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, the first four needs—physiological, safety, belongingness, and esteem—are called Deficiency Needs (D-needs) because their deficiency creates tension in the individual, and their fulfillment leads to tension reduction.
In contrast, Self-Actualization, situated at the apex of the hierarchy, is termed Growth Needs (B-needs). Rather than reducing tension, B-needs motivate individuals to further enrich their inner potentials and personal development.
- D-needs: Lower level, survival-based, tension-reducing.
- B-needs: Higher level, self-actualization, growth-oriented.
