CONCLUSION
According to Maslow, we have five
categories of needs: physiological, safety,
love, esteem, and self-actualization.
In this theory, higher needs in the
hierarchy begin to emerge when people
feel they have sufficiently satisfied the
previous need.
Although later research does not fully
support all of Maslow’s theory, his
research has impacted other psychologists
and contributed to the field of positive
psychology.
