IOP2604ASSIGNMENT 5
DUE JUNE 2024
, Question 1
Discuss how each of Thulani’s four basic psychological needs as
conceptualised by Grawe (2007) was compromised and/or supported.
According to Klaus Grawe (2007) Thulani was compromised and/or supported, through
specific elements of attachment, control, pleasure enhancement/pain avoidance, and
orientation/meaning in the context of Thulani's experiences and challenges.
1. Attachment
Definition: The need for close, secure, and stable relationships with others.
Compromised:
Physical Separation from Family: Thulani is physically separated from his family, living
far away from them in Gauteng while they remain in KwaZulu-Natal. This physical
distance limits his ability to have daily, supportive interactions with his wife, daughters,
and mother.
Workplace Isolation: His colleagues avoided him after he tried discussing the traumatic
armed robbery incident, leading to feelings of isolation at work. This lack of social support
from his peers compromises his sense of attachment.
Trauma and Communication Barriers: Thulani's ongoing trauma and inability to openly
communicate about his experiences without facing dismissal or avoidance further
exacerbate his isolation.
Supported:
Religious Community: Thulani found some support in his religious community, talking
to the pastor and praying with other men. This spiritual connection provides some degree
of emotional support and a sense of belonging.
Family Communication: Despite the distance, Thulani maintains communication with his
family, sharing concerns and receiving advice, such as his mother urging him to attend
to his spiritual needs.
2. Control
The need to exert influence over one’s environment and life events, fostering a sense of
agency and autonomy.
Compromised:
The threat of retrenchment during the company's restructuring caused significant stress
for Thulani, as he had no control over the decisions being made and was kept in the dark
for six months.
The armed robbery left Thulani feeling powerless and continues to affect his sense of
control over his safety and environment.
Thulani's worry about his family's safety, particularly in the Eastern Cape with its high
rate of gender-based violence, further diminishes his sense of control.
Supported:
Employment Stability: Although he was not retrenched, maintaining his job provides
