Cindy lives in a middle class neighborhood. She always has enough food and she feels safe in her home and school. Cindy enjoys playing sports and participating in clubs at her school. She has close friends and attends religious services. According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, which need has Cindy fulfilled with her activities?
  1. Physiological needs
  2. Safety needs
  3. Belonging needs
  4. Esteem needs
  5. Self-actualization
Explanation
Answer: C - According to Maslow, human needs are arranged in five tiers. A higher level need cannot be met until all lower level needs are fulfilled. In this example, Cindy is fulfilling belonging needs by joining sports teams and clubs and by attending religious services. Cindy is able to fulfill these needs because her lower level physiological and safety needs are already met. Without meeting her need to belong, Cindy cannot attend to higher level needs such as esteem and self-actualization.
