Maslow hypothesized movement through a hierarchy of needs, beginning with survival needs for sleep, food, and water and reaching needs for self-actualization

Indicate whether this statement is true or false.

Answer: True
Rationale: Abraham Maslow (1943) conceived of this increasing complexity of motivational needs. At the base of the "hierarchy of needs" are physiological motives that must be satisfied before all others are considered. After these needs are addressed, an individual may turn to higher-level needs such as the need for love and belonging, self-esteem, and achievement.
