Summary:Summary:

Hierarchy of needs – relevant to ALL people, not just for children.

Some needs take precedence over other needs.

Five levels of need – physical, safety, social, self-esteem, creativity.

Each level must be met before progressing to the next level – Basic needs must be met before those on the next level become important.

Difficult to reach full potential unless the lower level needs have been met.

Humanistic Perspective:Humanistic Perspective: Abraham Maslow:Abraham Maslow:

Summary:Summary:

Maslow’s theory is usually depicted in the form of a triangle to demonstrate ascendency.


Physiological needs

Safety Needs

Belonging/love needs

Esteem needs

Cognitive needs

Aesthetic needs

Self actualisation needs

Physiological needs:Physiological needs:

The first human need is to live somewhere - then to obtain food, water, warmth, shelter.

If one of these needs is not satisfied there will be very little interest in the other needs.


Security and safety needs:Security and safety needs:

When the physiological needs are satisfied, the next important need is security. This includes the need to feel safe, out of danger.Security does not only mean personal security fences, but also includes aspects such as economic security - enough money - a secure position at work, insurance policies and some type of saving.


Belonging and love needs:Belonging and love needs:

To affiliate with others, be accepted and belong. This level of needs is only reached after the first two levels of needs have been satisfied. There is a need to love and be loved, to belong and to be accepted by a small group, such as family and friends. Often people will work hard, without reward to satisfy this need, for instance, to be accepted as a member of a committee or organization.


The ego or self-esteem needs:The ego or self-esteem needs:

To achieve, be competent and gain approval and recognition. This need manifests only after the first three needs have been satisfied. This is the force that drives modern man - the need to be recognized by others, to have self-respect, to be given status, an important position, etc. For some people this need is symbolized by a desire for status-car, a large office or an important job title.


Cognitive needs:Cognitive needs:

To know, understand and explore.


Aesthetic needs:Aesthetic needs:

Symmetry, order and beauty


Self actualisation/ Self realisation needs:Self actualisation/ Self realisation needs:

To find self-fulfilment and realise one’s potential.This is the last need to be satisfied - the self-fulfilment need; the need to achieve the best that is possible; to be able to show and express your feelings and to find ways to use your talents or skills.It is important to remember that once a need has been fulfilled, it no longer drives a person, i.e. there is no longer a need to meet that desire.


BUT!BUT!

There is a tendency for needs to mix and different needs may be more important at different times, depending on the situation.


Summary: Four Basic Needs:Summary: Four Basic Needs:

The need for love and security.The need for new experiences.The need for praise and recognition.The need for responsibility.

Mia Kelmer Pringle:Mia Kelmer Pringle:

Summary:Summary:

All needs are interrelated and interdependent.This theory was developed specifically for child development.For children to develop their full potential ALL needs must be met – no hierarchical sequence.Concentrates on psycho-social needs – four basic needs which require to be met throughout life.Early experiences and environment greatly influence later development.
