AU Maslow Hierarchy Self Assessment – Description
Introduction
Abraham Maslow suggested that our behaviors and motivations can be explained by our status of needs – if we are lacking in certain areas, we will consciously and unconsciously focus our energies into satisfying those needs. Every now and then, it is good practice to take an inventory of your own “hierarchy” and ensure that you are engaging in activities that meet your needs and encourage overall health and well-being.
For this assignment, you will be completing a self-assessment of your current needs – are things that you are neglecting? Are there aspects of your life that are being fulfilled? This will only be reviewed by you and your professor so feel free to be honest and open about where you are at right now. This could be an opportunity to make some positive changes if you find that you need a little assistance or boost in any area.
The minimum word requirement is 200 words.
Do not forget to support your thoughts and ideas with research!
Assignment
To successfully complete the assessment, address the following:
You will use the Hierarchy of Needs Self-Assessment Log.Actions
Simply open the file, evaluate each of the hierarchy categories, and document the needs being or not being met (in sentence format).
An example of how to fill in each category in the chart is as follows: “The needs that are being met are…by…” and “The need/s that are NOT being met is/are…because…” and “In order to meet the ____ need, I can… (Hester, 2019).”
Really try and take a moment to consider all the needs within the category; for example, you may be in a small argument with your friend, but not realize how much it is impacting you until you stop and think about it.
Then consider the different action steps you can take to remedy and meet your needs and document the steps you can take within your control in sentence format (citing sources [both in-text within the chart and in a reference list below the chart] to support how this will help you meet this need).
