Explaining the fundamental difference between 'Deficiency Needs (D-needs)' and 'Growth Needs (B-needs)' in Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, if an individual has successfully satisfied all their D-needs (physiological, safety, belongingness, and esteem), what will be the main psychological characteristic of the motivation for 'Self-Actualization' arising within them according to Maslow?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation & Solution
According to Abraham Maslow, the first four levels in the hierarchy of needs are called 'deficiency needs' (D-needs), which arise due to a deficiency (such as lack of food, safety, love, or esteem) and subside when fulfilled. In contrast, top-level 'self-actualization' is a 'growth need' (B-need), which is not tied to any lack but to the full realization of a person's hidden abilities and potential.
