Question

Critics of Maslow's theory of a 'hierarchy of needs' say that not everyone has all the needs or the hierarchy he assumed. Do you think this criticism is valid?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a motivational theory in psychology comprising a five-tier model of human needs, often depicted as hierarchical levels within a pyramid. From the bottom of the hierarchy upwards, the needs are: physiological (food and clothing), safety (job security), love and belonging needs (friendship), esteem, and self-actualization.

Needs lower down in the hierarchy must be satisfied before individuals can attend to needs higher up.

Answer 2

Researchers have proved that there is lack of hierarchical structure of needs as suggested by Maslow, though every individual has some ordering for his need satisfaction. Some people may be deprived of their lower level needs but may still strive for self actualisation needs.
