This is the article where Maslow first presented his hierarchy of needs. It had been first published in his 1943 paper ‘A Theory of Individual Inspiration’. Maslow consequently extended the theory to include his observations of humans’ innate curiosity. His ideas parallel a great many other ideas of human developmental psychology, a few of which focus on describing the phases of development in humans. Maslow described numerous needs and used the terms Physiological, Security, Belongingness and Love, Esteem, Self-Actualization, and Self-Transcendence’ to spell it out the pattern that human motivations generally move through. Maslow analyzed what he known as exemplary people such as for example Albert Einstein, Jane Addams, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Frederick Douglass instead of mentally sick or neurotic people.
