From the perspective of Abraham Maslow's 'Hierarchy of Needs' and Deci and Ryan's 'Self-Determination Theory', when a student engages in a task for internal satisfaction, curiosity, and personal growth (intrinsic motivation) rather than for external rewards or praise (extrinsic motivation), which psychological state is most accurately defined by this transition point between 'Deficiency Needs' (D-Needs) and 'Growth Needs' (B-Needs) in Maslow's hierarchy?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding Maslow's Hierarchy and Motivation
According to Abraham Maslow, human motivation is based on a hierarchy of needs divided into two main categories: Deficiency Needs (D-Needs), which include physiological and safety needs, and Growth Needs (B-Needs), which include self-actualization and cognitive growth.
- D-Needs: These arise due to deprivation and must be satisfied first to ensure basic survival and psychological stability.
- B-Needs: These stem from a desire for personal growth and self-fulfillment once deficiency needs are met.
Therefore, option (b) correctly identifies that the satisfaction of D-Needs acts as a transition point allowing the individual to pursue higher-level B-Needs, fostering intrinsic motivation.
