Hofstede's criticism of Maslow's pyramid as ethnocentric may stem from the fact that Maslow ’ s hierarchy of needs neglects to illustrate and expand upon the difference between the social and intellectual needs of those raised in individualistic societies and those raised in collectivist societies.

Abraham Maslow, a psychologist and the first theorist to develop a theory of motivation based upon human needs produced a theory that had three assumptions.

Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers were proponents of this view, which is based on the " phenomenal field " theory of Combs and Snygg ( 1949 ).

When a member of his staff at Parents Magazine introduced him to the ideas of Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers, both key figures in the human potential movement, his interests became more focused on personal fulfillment rather than sales success.

While the pyramid has become the de facto way to represent the hierarchy, Maslow himself never used a pyramid to describe these levels in any of his writings on the subject.

Maslow was clear about speaking of these levels and their satisfaction in terms such as " relative " and " general " and " primarily ", and says that the human organism is " dominated " by a certain need, rather than saying that the individual is " only " focused on a certain need at any given time.

So Maslow acknowledges that many different levels of motivation are likely to be going on in a human all at once.

In their extensive review of research based on Maslow's theory, Wahba and Brudwell found little evidence for the ranking of needs Maslow described, or even for the existence of a definite hierarchy at all.

Maslow ’ s pyramid puts sex on the bottom rung of physiological needs, along with breathing and food.

Positive psychology began as a new area of psychology in 1998 when Martin Seligman, considered the father of the modern positive psychology movement, chose it as the theme for his term as president of the American Psychological Association, though the term originates with Maslow, in his 1954 book Motivation and Personality, and there have been indications that psychologists since the 1950s have been increasingly focused on promoting mental health rather than merely treating illness.

In the first sentence of his book Authentic Happiness, Seligman claimed that " for the last half century psychology has been consumed with a single topic only-mental illness ",, expanding on Maslow ’ s comments.

Humanistic education is an approach to education based on the work of humanistic psychologists, most notably Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers.

The concept known as the law of the instrument, Maslow's hammer, Gavel or a golden hammer is an over-reliance on a familiar tool ; as Abraham Maslow said in 1966, " I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail.

Maslow and other optimistic youngsters at the time with his background were in the struggle to overcome such acts of racism and ethnic prejudice in the attempt to establish an idealistic world based on widespread education and monetary justice.

In the late 1930s, psychologists, interested in the uniquely human issues, such as the self, self-actualization, health, hope, love, creativity, nature, being, becoming, individuality, and meaning — that is, a concrete understanding of human existence, included Abraham Maslow, Carl Rogers, and Clark Moustakas, who were interested in founding a professional association dedicated to a psychology focused on these features of human capital demanded by post-industrial society.

Among the earliest approaches we find the developmental theory of Abraham Maslow, emphazising a hierarchy of needs and motivations ; the existential psychology of Rollo May acknowledging human choice and the tragic aspects of human existence ; and the person-centered or client-centered therapy of Carl Rogers, which is centered on the client's capacity for self-direction and understanding of his or her own development.

Anthony ; and the theories of Otto Rank, Abraham Maslow, Stanislav Grof, Timothy Leary, Ken Wilber, Michael Washburn and Charles Tart.

Unlike Maslow, who offered little data to support his ideas, Herzberg and others have presented considerable empirical evidence to confirm the motivation-hygiene theory, although their work has been criticized on methodological grounds.
