and need for aesthetic beauty)
Limitations/Contributions of Maslow's Hierarchy of needs - Answer- Contributions:
- holistic perspective (needs are studied together - usually more than one initiates
behaviour)
- humanistic perspective (higher needs are shaped by human thought, not just instinct)
- positive perspective (people are naturally motivated to reach their potential = self
actualisation)
- identifies role of social interaction in supporting satisfaction needs
Limitations:
- not everyone has the same needs hierarchy

experiences
Drive to bond - Answer- form social relationships and develop mutual caring
commitments with others (eg B&Q flashmob)
Drive to comprehend - Answer- satisfy our curiosity, know and understand ourselves
and our environment - related to higher order needs of growth and self actualisation
Drive to defend - Answer- protect ourselves physically and socially, goes beyond
protecting self: includes defending our personal relationships, our acquisitions and our
belief systems
Four drive theory Evaluation - Answer- - explains why needs vary from one person to
another
- avoids the assumption that everyone has the same needs hierarchy
- holistic (relates to all drives) and humanistic (acknowledges role of human thought and
social influences) (2 of Maslow's criteria)
Four drive applications - Answer- Companies should offer opportunities to fulfil drives,
drives must be kept in balance, they counterbalance each other

antecedents

some way
