This resource explores the contributions of Abraham Maslow, a renowned psychologist, and his theory of the Hierarchy of Needs. It introduces Maslow's five levels: Physiological, Safety, Love and Belonging, Esteem, and Self-Actualization. The document outlines how these needs motivate human behavior, emphasizing that individuals must satisfy lower-level needs before they can pursue higher-level aspirations. Key vocabulary definitions clarify each level, followed by real-world examples and scenarios for students to connect their own experiences with Maslow's theory. Learning goals include explaining the hierarchy, analyzing behavioral motivations based on unmet needs, and creating connections between the theory and personal life.
