MASLOW’S HIERARCHY OF
NEEDS
by: Valerie Crigger
PHYSIOLOGICAL NEEDSClick icon to add picture
These are the most basic
needs that drive us as
humans such as food, sleep,
water, and last but not least
sex.
Example: Not having any
money for food might lead
you to go hunting or fishing
for game in order to meet
this basic need of hunger.
Without food you can’t live.
SAFETY NEEDS
This is the need to feel like your environment is
safe around you. Failure to meet this need can result
in stress and anxiety. Example: You just moved into a
city and was not able to afford an apartment in the
nicest area. Your first night there you are highly
stressed and unable to sleep because of all the police
sirens you keep hearing pass by. In this case your
safety need is not being met because you are unsure
of the area you are now living in.
This is the need to
obtain and give
affection.
LOVE AND BELONGINGNESS
Example: You know your father
loves you very dearly but he is
not an affectionate person
throughout your childhood. This
might leave you with a certain
extra emphasis (later in life) on
affection. You might look for
relationships with people whom
are very affectionate to meet this
unsatisfied need.
ESTEEM
This is the need to feel like you alone are worth
something to someone. Example in order to meet
this need you might do things for charity or do nice
things for random people because this makes you
feel good about yourself providing you with the now
met need of Esteem.
SELF-ACTUALIZATION
A state of self-fulfillment
Example: Something you do that
you truly enjoy and that makes you
happy. It can almost put some
people into a euphoric state they
enjoy it so much. It could be rock
climbing, reading, singing, giving
to the needy, taking care of
children, running or photography.
It can be anything. It’s what makes
you happy.
