With reference to Abraham Maslow's 'Hierarchy of Needs Theory', if a student, after satisfying their basic physiological and safety needs and transcending the desire for social affiliation (love and belongingness), continuously strives to achieve the highest level of self-actualization by realizing their true potential and inherent capabilities, which of the following psychological characteristics is most accurately represented by this progression from deficiency needs (D-needs) to 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 of Needs
According to Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs theory, motivation is divided into two primary categories:
- Deficiency Needs (D-needs): These include physiological, safety, and belongingness needs, which arise due to a deficit of a particular item or condition, and their fulfillment reduces tension.
- Growth Needs (B-needs): These include needs such as self-actualization, which are associated with the development of a person's inner capabilities and the desire to achieve their full potential.
Therefore, moving from D-needs to B-needs highlights how deprivation-driven motivation shifts toward self-fulfillment and personal growth.
