Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs describes what a theoretical person would need in their life. Abraham Maslow supposes, “the fundamental desires of human beings are similar despite the multitude of conscious desires” (Zalenski 1121). This theory crosses all boundaries such as race, religion, ethnic, and geography. Maslow also believes the needs of human beings are hierarchical; lesser needs must be achieved before the greater needs can be explored (Zalenski 1121).…

Abraham Maslow (1908-1970) was a humanistic psychologist who (1954) developed a hierarchy of complex human needs (1954) that an individual must satisfy in a process called self-fulfilment- satisfaction of all needs results in self-actualisation. The hierarchy was divided into seven tiers and when each set of needs were satisfied, the individual would move up another level to fulfil more needs. Physiological needs like food and water are essential for survival. If those most basic needs are being neglected, the individual will instinctively focus everything on meeting those needs first. Once satisfied, safety needs like warmth and shelter also become important. After the safety needs have been met, social needs including love and a sense of belonging become important. When those have been satisfied, esteem needs must be satisfied. Cognitive needs must be satisfied before aesthetic needs including beauty and symmetry can be satisfied. Only when all of the needs in the hierarchy have been satisfied, can an individual finally realise and reach their full potential through the process of self-actualisation (Hayes, 2000) (cross-referenced from Unit 7, task 1).…

Drive reduction theory is the theory that motivated behavior is aimed at reducing a state of bodily tension or arousal and returning the organism to homeostasis.…
An attempt to synthesize Drive Theory from Object Relations was made by Kernberg. By these units, he mixes the drive model and the object relations model by having the self- representation and the object- representation build up under the influence of libidinal and aggressive drives or aspects of drives that filter into experience.…
• We are not born as blank slates waiting to be externally motivated by forces in the world around us. We are born with five genetically encoded needs: survival, love and belonging, power or achievement, freedom or independence, and fun-that drive us all of our lives. Each of us has all five needs, but they vary in strength.…

In the same way, Peter Blunt and Merrick Jones (1992) refer to motivation as a "driving force or state of need deficiency which inclines a person to behave in a particular manner or to develop a capacity for certain types of behaviour"…
