Maslow view of Motivation

1. The whole organism is motivated at any one time.


2. Motivation is complex, and unconsious motives often underlie behaviour.


3. People are continually motivated by one need or another.


4. People in different cultures are motivated by some basic needs.


5. Needs can be arranged on a hierarchy.

Lower level needs have protency over high level needs, that is: power need must be statisfied before higher need become motivators. Maslow called this ____ have a striving or motivational character.

Conative needs

Oxygen, food water, maintenance of the body and so on

Physiological needs- lower

Physical security, stability, dependency protection and freedom from danger.

Love and Belongingsness needs



1st group: need to be satisfied: feels accepted and will not feel devastated it rejected.

Aesthetic needs

Desire to know to understand & to be curious. Knowledge is a preprequisite for each of the five conative needs (only for those who have this need)


- People who are denied knowledge and kept in ignorance become sick- paranoid depressed.


- People who have satisfied cognitive needs do not necessarily become self actualized.

Cognitive Needs

Desire to dominate to inflict pain or to subject one self to the will of another person, lead to pathology whether or not they are satisfied.

Neurotic needs

Maslow insisted that much of our surface behaviour are actually motivated by more basic and often unconscious needs.

Reversed other needs

Some behaviours are not motivated even though all behavior have a cause.


Conditioned reflexes, maturation or drugs.

Unmotivated Behaviours.

Have no aim or goal but are merely a person mode of expression, deal with a person attempt to cope with the environment.

Expressive and coping behaviour.

Lead to pathology of some sort

Deprivation of needs

Innately determined needs that Dan be modified by learning, thwarting or instinctoid needs produces pathology where as the frustration of non instinctoid needs does not.

Instinctoid Nature of Needs

Higher level needs (love, esteem, and self actualization) are later on the evolutionary scale lowe needs and that they produce more genuine happiness and more peak experiences. Seems like thes needs follow a development course.

Comparison of Higher and Lower Needs

Fear of being or doing one's best, a condition that all of us have some extent.
