Ladson-Billings, 1994b; Valenzuela, 1999 (opposition) For the most part, the United States of America culture tells children that you have to learn self-esteem and self-worth for themselves, which agrees with Maslow’s theory. However, this is wrong because self-esteem and self-worth are “significantly influenced by culture.”

Psychologist Ed Diener of the University of Illinois

Diener did a study and put Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory to the test by conducting surveys about the different levels in 155 countries in a 5 year time span. What they found out was Maslow’s theory is largely correct.

students will only partially fulfill needs and become prepared to consider the higher level needs. Also, they think self-actualization if a theoretical “goal” that can’t actually be fulfilled.

Maslow came up with a hierarchy theory of needs

Air, water, food, shelter, are some of the basics

Safety, protection, structure, limits are some others

Love, family, friends, and other relationships are also needed

Omitting any of these needs

Will cause an individual to not reach self-actualization

*Physiological Needs: The basic needs; food, water, shelter, sleep, etc.

*Safety Needs: Stability, protection, safe environment, need for structure, limits, order, etc.

*Belonging Needs: need for family, love, friends, feeling of being accepted, good relationships with people, etc. Without this, we would feel lonely and have social anxiousness

*Esteem Needs: two levels (lower and higher) Lower- respect, attention, fame, reputation, etc. Higher-  self-respect, confidence, independence, freedom, etc.

*Self-Actualization: continuous desire to fulfill potentials, be the fullest you.

What guided Abraham Maslow’s research was because he was intrigued with behavioral theory and the writing of John B. Watson.
