Maslow's Theory of Motivation

Pathological Point: Which IS NOT true of what we emphasized about "D" and "B" Motivations, Values and Cognitions: a) The "D" stands for "Demotivated" and is governed by the basic needs. According to Maslow, it characterizes the lives of individuals who are not self-actualizing. D-values are lack and absence oriented such as strength, resilience and resourcefulness. Related, D-cognition is thinking that is need based and motivated by a search for objects or events that will satisfy a basic need. b) The "B" stands for "Being" and is governed by the being needs. According to Maslow, it characterizes the lives of individuals who are self-actualizing. B-values are those higher aspects of life pursued by self-actualizing individuals such as truth, goodness, beauty, justice and perfection. Related, B-cognition is thinking that is asset based and motivated by what is present. c) Everyone is motivated or has their own intentions to know and understand their needs and to satisfy them, they just do it differently based upon their category of need. d) While both the basic needs and the being needs have problems and obstacles unique to them, what seems to be the difference in how problems are handled is that with the basic needs individuals seem to be externally-oriented and with the being needs individuals seem to be internally-oriented.
