Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Theory

There is a hierarchy of five needs:


1. Physiological Needs. Includes hunger, thirst, shelter
and other bodily needs.
2. Safety Needs. Includes security and protection from
physical and emotional harm.
3. Social/ Belongingness Needs. Includes affection,
belongingness, acceptance, family and friendship.
4. Esteem. Includes internal esteem factors such as self-
respect, autonomy, and achievement; and external
esteem factors such as status, recognition, and
attention.
5. Self-actualization. The drive to become what one is
capable of becoming; includes growth, achieving
one’s potential, and self-fulfillment.
