Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is a theory in
psychology proposed by Abraham Maslow in
1943.
Maslow’s theory proposes that as humans meet
“basic needs”, we look to satisfy “higher needs”
that occupy a our mind set.
Maslow’s theory is depicted as a pyramid in four
levels: the first three are deficiency needs (lack
of), and the top level is growth needs.
When each level of need is accomplished, the
next level of need becomes dominate.
Therefore, no need is ever satisfied, motivation
excels individuals to feel satisfied.
