Perfect family relationships and friendships are what an individual hope for. Not having
a good family relationship, support from loved ones and good friends can make the
individual feel lonely, which will not help him to satisfy his needs of love and
belongingness. To avoid problems such as loneliness, depression, and anxiety, it is
important for people to feel loved and accepted by other people.

According to Maslow, This need includes both romantic relationships as well as ties to
friends and family members. It also includes our need to feel that we belong to a social
group. Personal relationships with friends, family, and lovers play an important role,

"People live because of people," We live because there are people who love us, and
people we love back

Examples include friendship, intimacy, trust, and acceptance, receiving and giving
affection and love. Affiliating, being part of a group (family, friends, work).

Our esteem needs involve the desire to feel good about ourselves.

Maslow indicated that the need for respect or reputation is most important for children
and adolescents and precedes real self-esteem or dignity.

According to Maslow, esteem needs include two components. The first involves feeling
self-confidence and feeling good about oneself. The second component involves feeling
valued by others; that is, feeling that our achievements and contributions have been
recognized by other people. When people’s esteem needs are met, they feel confident
and see their contributions and achievements as valuable and important. However,
when their esteem needs are not met, they may experience what psychologist Alfred
Adler called “feelings of inferiority.”

Aссоrding to Abrаhаm Maslow, thеrе аrе lower-level аnd higher-level еѕtееm needs.
Maslow соnѕidеrеd lоwеr-lеvеl еѕtееm nееdѕ as thе nееd fоr thе rеѕресt оf оthеrѕ
through status, recognition, fаmе, рrеѕtigе, аnd аttеntiоn, whilе hе dеѕсribеd higher-

соnfidеnсе, independence, and freedom.

Having a good job title and recognition of an individual increase his respect in work as
well in his society. A good job title leads to a rise in his worth.

When a student is motivated and appreciated, he/she tends to increase his/her

academic performances as compared to the less motivated student. An excellent
academic result will increase her recognition in the school and society which will
increase the confidence, respect, and esteem of the student.

Together, the esteem and social levels make up what is known as the psychological needs of the
hierarchy
