AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -At the base of Maslow’s hierarchy of human needs we find the physiological level, which encompasses the basic, yet self-preserving needs, such as sleep, water, and shelter. The ability to work our way further up the hierarchy, to satisfy our more complex needs, is based on fulfilling the physiological needs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Physiological needs are the most basic of Maslow’s hierarchy. These are the essentials people need for physical survival. Examples include air, food, drink, shelter, clothing, warmth, sleep, and health. If you fail to meet these needs, your body cannot function properly.

Detailed explanation-3: -From the bottom up, the needs Maslow advances in this theory are: physiological, safety, love and belonging, esteem, and self-actualization.
