WHO IS ABRAHAM MASLOW?
CONTINUATION…
FIELD OF RESEARCH… One of the many interesting things Maslow noticed while he worked with monkeys early in his career was that some needs take precedence over others. For example, if you are hungry and thirsty, you will tend to try to take care of the thirst first. After all, you can do without food for weeks, but you can only do without water for a couple of days! Thirst is a “stronger” need than hunger. Likewise, if you are very thirsty, but someone has put a chokehold on you and you cannot breathe, which is more important? The need to breathe, of course. On the other hand, sex is less powerful than any of these. Let us face it, you won’t die if you don’t get it!
CONTINUATION… Maslow then took this idea and created his now famous hierarchy of needs. Beyond the details of air, water, food, and sex, he laid out five broader layers: the physiological needs, the needs for safety and security, the needs for love and belonging, the needs for esteem, and the need to actualize the self, all in the given order.

Maslow was important to the study of social sciences as he used lots of research to explain his theory on human behaviour Also, Maslow’s thinking was surprisingly original, most psychologist before him had been concerned with the abnormal and the ill. He wanted to know what constituted positive mental health.
