Developmental Psychology

Maslow also created 3 different categories of needs. Deficiency, Basic and Psychological needs • Deficiency Needs : This is when individuals have needs that are missing, and there is an immediate response that is prompted. Some of the needs included are the need for psychological needs, safety needs, the need to belong and the need for self-esteem. • Basic Needs : These are the needs that are needed in order to move on to the next stage of hierarchy. • Psychological Needs : These needs include the need to belong, the need for self-esteem, and self-actualization. Self-actualization is the need to nurture the self to achieve a maximum potential. Another well-known psychologist, Carl Rogers had the belief that people had the capacity to change themselves, as long as they knew someone believed in them. Rogers suggested the concept of u conditional positive regard. This means that regardless of an individual’s actions, people will still approve them for committing actions that are not appropriate.
