The Significance Of Maslow's Theory Of Human Motivation

Abraham Maslow presented The Theory of Human Motivation in 1943. His research was met with enthusiasm and dominated the field of Psychology and parallel disciplines for many years. Today we are still influenced by the impact of Maslow’s work which is still considered important. It has been intellectualized and reinvented to address many aspects within the Humanities, Social Science, and Natural Science. This paper will discuss Maslow’s Theory of Human Motivation and parallel work of contemporary researchers who have utilized his concept of a hierarchy of needs to address their theories. Climbing Social Media in Medicine’s Hierarchy by Chretien and Kind (2014), demonstrate that physicians’ social media can use as a hierarchy of

These needs are the starting point for motivation theory and usually include a life form’s survival, such as our need for food, water, and shelter. When these needs are not met, then all other needs may be extinguished or lose priority (373). This theory wants us to understand that people or an organism must attend to their survival or else die. Survival is our utmost priority. This theory may provide us with an understanding of individual motivation. Though, it is not necessarily true. It is very common for people to be homeless and work. A reasonable belief of people who are capable of obtaining food or water will in all likelihood focus all of their attention to acquire these things if they are without is not always true. Many examples in religion, cults, protesting, or other scenarios where someone starves themselves to obtain enlightenment or power. Kenrick, Griskevicius, Neuberg, and Schaller (2010) point out that an evolutionary approach implies that all behavior is goal-oriented. Nevertheless, a considerable body of comparative and neuropsychological evidence now supports the possibility that multiple motivational and cognitive systems coexist. Consequently, there is reason to deduce that between hierarchical relationship and functional motivational systems

In this capacity, it is valid. Ecstasy is ecstasy; feelings can be universal. Kenrick, Griskevicius, Neuberg, and Schaller (2010) demand that according to modern functional analysis what payoffs might be related to motivate self-actualization or, alternatively, is the need to self-actualization a consequence of an adaptive or nonadaptive stimuli? Perhaps self-actualization is a by-product of other mechanisms. Higher order human phenomena exist not because they serve specific fitness-relevant functions, but because they emerged as byproducts or nonadaptive effects of psychological mechanisms (6). A person may have a genetic mutation which serves them well or ability that was inherit. Should everyone with great balance walk a tightrope? Probably the most universal aspect of self-actualization is having a sense or purpose that transcends understanding. Serlin (2011) defines the image of the self-actualized person as one who is integrate, the intrapersonal, interpersonal, social, spiritual, and aesthetic levels of experience. That this person would, create meaningful experiences, create and discover beauty, and live with grace and courage in a constant confrontation with the anxiety of nonbeing (429). Perhaps this message encourages the concept of self-actualizing the best. Giving us inspiration to self-actualize our present life in the hope that our current
