Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
- Maslow's hierarchy of needs are a series of physiological and emotional requirements for human contentment, arranged in order of necessity.
- Deficiencies with respect to this aspect of Maslow's hierarchy – due to hospitalism, neglect, shunning, ostracism etc. – can impact individual's ability to form and maintain emotionally significant relationships in general.
- His focus in discussing the hierarchy was to identify the basic types of motivations and the order that they generally progress as lower needs are reasonably well met.
- Maslow also states that even though these are examples of how the quest for knowledge is separate from basic needs, he warns that these "two hierarchies are interrelated rather than sharply separated. " This means that this level of need, as well as the next and highest level, are not strict, separate levels but closely related to others, and this is possibly the reason that these two levels of need are left out of most textbooks.
- Maslow's hierarchy captures the varying degree of needs by which humans are motivated.

- As an individual fulfils needs at each level, he or she progresses to higher levels (see Exhibit 14 Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs).
