Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Maslow believed that we are motivated by our needs.
A
True
B
False
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Maslow’s theory contends that, as we humans strive to meet our most basic needs, we also seek to satisfy a higher set of needs, until we grow to become “self-actualized” or “all that we can be."

Detailed explanation-2: -The basis of Maslow’s theory is that we are motivated by our needs as human beings. Additionally, if some of our most important needs are unmet, we may be unable to progress and meet our other needs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Maslow’s idea that people are motivated by satisfying lower-level needs such as food, water, shelter, and security, before they can move on to being motivated by higher-level needs such as self-actualization, is the most well-known motivation theory in the world.

Detailed explanation-4: -In his major works, Motivation and Personality (1954) and Toward a Psychology of Being (1962), Maslow argued that each person has a hierarchy of needs that must be satisfied, ranging from basic physiological requirements to love, esteem, and, finally, self-actualization.

Detailed explanation-5: -The truth is that Maslow’s theory was based on his own personal observations and his biographical analysis of individuals who he considered to be “self-actualized.” The theory was not based on any credible empirical research. In Maslow’s defense, he never promoted his theory as if it were a fact.
