Detailed Explanation
Understanding Maslow's Hierarchy
According to Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Theory, lower-level needs (such as physiological, safety, belongingness, and esteem) are termed Deficiency Needs or D-Needs because they arise due to a deficit and their satisfaction generally depends on external factors.
In contrast, Self-Actualization, situated at the apex of the hierarchy, is a Growth Need or B-Need (Being Need), which is related to the realization of an individual's inner potential, creativity, and self-fulfillment.
- D-Needs: Driven by deprivation (e.g., Esteem).
- B-Needs: Driven by the desire for personal growth (e.g., Self-Actualization).
