Question

Assume that Joyce's physiological and safety needs are met, but her other needs are not met. According to Maslow's need hierarchy theory, Joyce is most likely to be motivated by her" ________ needs.

Answer 1

Love and Belonging Needs

Step-by-step explanation:

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is a theory for psychology prepared by a psychologist named Abraham Maslow. This theory, propounded by Abraham Maslow was used to study human behavioral motivation. This theory contained 5 levels with each representing a special kind of need or motivation. The 5 levels were put as Psychological, safety, love and belonging, social or esteem needs and self actualization. These represent the way human behavioral motivation move.

When Joyce's psychological and safety needs were met, up next on her hierarchy was the love and belonging needs which was the third level in the Maslow's Hierarchy of Need. This is where Joyce's next motivatioisis located.

Answer 2

Joyce is most likely to be motivated by her love/belonging needs.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to psychologist Abraham Maslow, people are motivated by their needs. Those needs have a certain hierarchy, the most basic (even primitive) ones being fulfilled before the most developed ones. They follow the sequence below:

1. physiological;

2. safety;

3. love/belonging;

4. esteem;

5. self-actualization.

Therefore, only when our physiological needs are satisfied (breathing, eating, drinking water, etc.) is that we are driven by our need for safety. When both, our physiological needs and safety needs, are met, we are motivated by our love/belonging needs. That is the current need that motivates Joyce, since the previous two have been met. Once she feels loved (by family/friends), once she has a sense of belonging, she will be motivated by her needs of esteem, and so on.
