Abraham Maslow
The theorist behind the Hierarchy of Needs from A Theory of Human Motivation (1943)
Maslow the hierarchy of needs
Maslow conducted research into peoples needs. He looked at what we as humans need(ed) most and then he placed them in a hierarchy (order) that placed physiological needs, such as the need to sleep, eat, use the bathroom, etc., at the bottom and the need for self-actualisation at the top. The wider base of the pyramid houses all of the requirements that we as humans have whereas the narrower summit contains the needs that only some people have as they are not necessities for survival. 1. Survival (needed/strived for by everyone) 2. Safety 3. Human 4. Self-respect 5. Mastery of needs and reaching your full potential (needed/strived for by some) Although this is potentially a useful tool that can be used to place individuals to give them a sense of belonging or understanding of their own circumstance, it was also only part of a limited study that only concerned itself with labels rather than diversity within those labels.
