Analysis with Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory

Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory was put forward by Abraham Maslow in 1943. Its basic content is to divide people's needs from low to high into five needs: physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, respect needs and self-realization needs.

Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory is one of the theories of humanities. It is not only a theory of motivation, but also a theory of human nature and axiology.

Maslow believes that human beings have some innate needs. The lower the needs, the more basic they are, and the more similar they are to animals. The more advanced the demand, the more unique it is to human beings. At the same time, these requirements appear in turn. When a person meets the lower requirements, higher requirements, that is, the hierarchy of needs, can appear.

In addition, basic needs generally appear in the order of physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, respect needs and self-realization needs, but not all needs appear in this order.

After the low-level demand is basically met, its incentive function will be reduced and it will no longer maintain its dominant position, and high-level demand will replace it as the main reason for promoting behavior. Once some needs are met, they cannot be the reason to stimulate people's behavior, so they are replaced by other needs.

High-level needs are more valuable than low-level needs. Enthusiasm is inspired by high-level needs. Man's highest need, that is, self-realization, is to express his potential in the most effective and complete way, and only in this way can he get a peak experience.
