Introduction

When describing theories that it works parallel with, Maslow stated that the most important component of his theory is that is supplements the “Freudian pessimism” and “neo-behaviorist relativism” with positive and empirically grounded theories of human behavior, motivation, and development. ref. (Maslow as quoted in Hoffman, 1988, p. 191)Maslow, A., & Herzeberg, A. (1954). Hierarchy of needs. AH Maslow. ea., Motivation and Personality. Harper, New York..

Self-Actualization section

Self-actualized individuals were "reality centered," and able to differentiate what was falsified from what was genuine. They were also "problem centered focusing on how to create solutions to life’s difficulties. These individuals were comfortable by themselves and had healthy personal relationships. These individuals preferred close relations with relatively few people including family and friends, rather than a large number of shallow relationships. ref. Maslow, A., & Herzeberg, A. (1954). Hierarchy of needs. AH Maslow. ea., Motivation and Personality. Harper, New York.

Research

Maslow believed that the only reason people were unable to satisfy themselves toward self-actualization was due to the social constraints and difficulties placed upon individuals. Education is one part of society that could be reconstructed to use instead of person-stunting techniques, utilize person-growing techniques such as teaching people life is precious and that if people see the good in the world, it makes life worth living. ref. Simons, J. A., Irwin, D. B., & Drinnien, B. A. (1987). Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. Retrieved October, 9, 2009.

Physiological needs

Include that Maslow used homeostasis and specific appetites as points that supported his belief in the need for physiological needs to be met, furthermore not only are they the most important but also that “ A person who is lacking food, safety, love, and esteem would most probably hunger for food more strongly than for anything else”. ref. http://psychclassics.yorku.ca/Maslow/motivation.htm A Theory of Human Motivation A. H. Maslow (1943) Originally Published in Psychological Review, 50, 370-396.

Safety Section

Broader attempts to seek safety and stability in the world are seen in the very common preference for familiar rather than unfamiliar things. Furthermore, the tendency to have a religion or world-philosophy that organizes the universe with members having some sort of meaningful whole is also in part motivated by safety-seeking. ref. http://psychclassics.yorku.ca/Maslow/motivation.htm A Theory of Human Motivation A.

I've made the additions easier to read. The reference system doesn't work too well on talkpages. Jonpatterns (talk) 20:27, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

Request that quotation 'Air, water, and food are metabolic requirements for survival in all animals, including humans' under heading 'Physiological needs' be altered into 'Air, water, sleep, and food are metabolic requirements for survival in all animals, including humans', considering that sleep indeed is a metabolic requirement in all fauna, and considering Maslow himself naming sleep as a fundamental need in the most basic form, and therefore part of the lowest step in his hierarchy of physiological needs.

Please take a look at the illustration "Maslow's hierarchy of needs, represented as a pyramid" and note sleep as listed. 178.149.135.8 (talk) 01:01, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
