5. The different levels of needs
Physiological needs are
the physical
requirements for
human survival. If
these requirements are
not met, the human
body cannot function
properly, and will
ultimately fail.
6. Security or Safety needs
With their physical needs relatively satisfied, the
individual's safety needs take precedence and
dominate behavior.
7. Social needs
the third level of human needs is
interpersonal and involves feelings
of belongingness. This need is
especially strong in childhood and can
override the need for safety as
witnessed in children who cling to
abusive parents.
8. Esteem
All humans have a need to feel respected; this
includes the need to have self-esteem and self-
respect. Esteem presents the typical human
desire to be accepted and valued by others.
People often engage in a profession or hobby to
gain recognition.
9. Self-Actualization needs. “What a man can
be, he must be." This quotation forms the
basis of the perceived need for self-
actualization. This level of need refers to
what a person's full potential is and the
realization of that potential.
