What are the levels of the theory of the American psychologist Mallows?

The first level: physiological needs: mainly: breathing, water, food, sleep, physiological balance, secretion and sex. If any one of these needs (except sex) is not satisfied, the physiological functions of the human individual cannot function normally. In other words, human life will be threatened. In this sense, physiological needs are the foremost driving force for people's actions. According to Maslow, only after these most basic needs are satisfied to the extent necessary for survival can other needs become new motivating factors, and at that point, these relatively satisfied needs cease to be motivating factors.

The second level: security needs: personal safety, health security, resource ownership, property ownership, moral security, job security, family security. According to Maslow, the whole organism is a security-seeking mechanism, and human sense organs, effector organs, intelligence and other energies are mainly tools for seeking security, and even science and outlook on life can be regarded as part of the fulfillment of security needs. Of course, when this need is once relatively satisfied, it ceases to be a motivating factor.

The third level: the need for emotion and belonging: friendship, love, sexual intimacy. Everyone wants to be related to and cared for by each other. Emotional needs are more nuanced than physical needs and are related to a person's physical characteristics, experiences, education, and religious beliefs.

The fourth level: the need for respect: including self-respect, confidence, achievement, respect for others, and being respected by others. Everyone wants to have a stable social status, and demands that one's abilities and achievements be recognized by society. The need for respect can be further divided into internal and external respect. Internal respect refers to a person's desire to be strong, competent, confident, and independent in a variety of different situations. In short, internal respect is a person's self-esteem. External respect is a person's desire to have status and prestige, to be respected, trusted and highly regarded by others. According to Maslow, the satisfaction of respect needs can make a person confident in himself, full of enthusiasm for society, and experience the value of his usefulness of living.

The fifth level: self-actualization needs: including morality, creativity, self-awareness, problem-solving ability, fairness, and the ability to accept reality. Self-actualization needs is the highest level of needs, refers to the realization of personal ideals, aspirations, to play the individual's ability to the greatest extent possible, to achieve self-actualization of the realm of people, accept themselves and others, problem-solving ability to enhance the self-consciousness of the increase in the good at dealing with things independently, the demand for undisturbed alone, and to complete the need to do all the things that are commensurate with their own abilities. In other words, people must do competent work, which will give them the greatest pleasure. Maslow suggested that the path taken to satisfy the need for self-actualization varies from person to person. The need for self-actualization is in striving to realize one's potential to become more and more the person one desires to be.
