Which level of Maslow's hierarchy of needs deals with satisfying one's hunger, thirst,
and other bodily needs?

A) safety

,B) physiological
C) social
D) esteem
E) psychological

Explanation: B) Maslow hypothesized that within every human being there exists a
hierarchy of five needs. The lowest, most basic needs are physiological. They include
hunger, thirst, shelter, sex, and other bodily needs.

The church you go to every Sunday is made up of people who have very different
lifestyles and are at different stages in their life. Joanna is a 23-year-old, single parent
who works for minimum wage and shifts from motel to motel for accommodation.
Josephine is a single, 45-year-old woman who earns a decent salary and has few
interests and friends outside her office. Jonathan is 60 years old, extremely wealthy,
has a loving family, and enjoys his work. You have decided to apply Maslow's hierarchy
of needs to determine what motivates each of these individuals.

A) social
B) esteem
C) physiological
D) self-actualization

include hunger, thirst, shelter, sex, and other bodily needs.

Which of the following needs would most likely motivate Josephine?

A) social
B) esteem
C) physiological
D) self-actualization
E) safety

Explanation: A) According to Maslow, because Josephine is single and has little social
interaction, she would strive to satisfy her social needs, which include affection,
belongingness, acceptance, and friendship.

Which of the following needs would most motivate Jonathan?

C) esteem

Mexico, where uncertainty-avoidance characteristics are strong, then ________ needs
would be on top of the hierarchy.

A) self-actualization
B) security
C) social
D) esteem
E) growth

Explanation: B) If we consider Maslow's needs hierarchy in the context of Japan,

needs would be on top of the hierarchy.

one is capable of becoming?

A) social
