This theory delves deeper into what people are most motivated by. Within this first triangle the main things that Maslow found to be the motivation are physiological, safety, social, esteem and self-actualisation. He found that the main things being the self-esteem, love and other social needs but not in that order.
Physiological is based around air, food, drink, shelter, warmth, sex and sleep which most of these names are basic human needs like food, drink, air and so on. Safety needs ranging from security, order, law, limits, protection from elements, freedom from fear and stability which are the main words that would be thought off with hearing the word safety. Social needs are mainly things like relationships ranging from love, friends, family and work groups but that is because a person whats to feel a sense of belonging as well as affection and love. While esteem needs are about achievements from work or within personal life whis can lead to independence, status, self- respect, respect from others meaning you are dominating but also mastering your work/private life. Self-actualisation is when a person realises their potential, seeking personal growith and peak experiences.
From the areas talked about further above the hierachy of needs from the above screenshot with added reasons. Things ike cognitive needs, aesthetic needs and transscendence needs. Cognitive needs being the knowledge that has been gained as well as the meaning towards the things you do or to life within general. Aesthetic needs is the appreciation and search for beauty as well as balance andfor. Transcendence needs is when a person is trying to help others reach self actualisation.
This screenshot looks into the characteristics of self-actualised people. This mainly a way of how these people live in every day life but also what they live by regularly. This could tie in with this project because of the way people act but also the characteristics that would make them interested within my work. If the characteristics need to be talked about within another blog then I will use this part of this blog to find the similar ones that relates to the audience for my work.
