Physiological • the most basic needs vital to survival, such as the need for water, air, food and sleep. Maslow believed all needs become secondary until these physiological needs are met.
Safety • important for survival, but they are not as demanding as the physiological needs. • Examples of security needs include a desire for steady employment, safe neighborhoods and shelter from the environment.
Social • These include needs for belonging, love and affection. • Examples are friendships, romantic attachments and families
Esteem • These include the need for things that reflect on self-esteem, personal worth, social recognition and accomplishment.
Self-actualization • Self-actualizing people are self-aware, concerned with personal growth, less concerned with the opinions of others and interested fulfilling their potential.
Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Motivation • Intrinsic motivation occurs when people are internally motivated to do something because it either brings them pleasure, they think it is important, or they feel that what they are learning is significant. • Extrinsic motivation comes into play when a student is compelled to do something or act a certain way because of factors external to him or her (like money or good grades).
Problems with extrinsic motivation • 1. It’s not sustainable - As soon as you withdraw the punishment or reward, the motivation disappears. • 2. You get diminishing returns - If the punishment or rewards stay at the same levels, motivation slowly drops off. To get the same motivation next time requires a bigger reward. • 3. It hurts intrinsic motivation - Punishing or rewarding people for doing something removes their own innate desire to do it on their own. From now on you must punish/reward every time to get them to do it."
