In the context of 'Theories of Motivation', regarding the scientific nature of 'Deficiency Needs' (D-needs) and 'Being Needs' (B-needs) under the 'Hierarchy of Needs Theory' propounded by Abraham Maslow, their sequential hierarchy, and their mutual interrelationships with Carl Rogers' humanistic approach, which of the following statements is most appropriate and true?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation & Solution
In Abraham Maslow's theory of motivation, needs are divided into two main categories: Deficiency Needs (D-needs), which include physiological, safety, belongingness, and esteem needs, where tension arises if they are unfulfilled and motivation ceases upon fulfillment. Conversely, Growth Needs (Being Needs or B-needs) such as 'Self-Actualization' are associated with a person's inner growth and full development of potential, where fulfillment increases rather than decreases motivation. Therefore, option (b) provides the most accurate and scientific description of this psychological concept.
