True

According to Abraham Maslow, a psychologist, humans are inclined towards safety needs as one among several psychological needs. After the need for food and water, safety needs involve the aspirations of a certain future. Humans tend to avoid any situation that may cause them pain and uncertainty. When the safety need is not met, a negative emotional state is induced.
