Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Maslow's hierarchy of needs suggests that individuals have a series of needs that must be met before they can move on to fulfilling higher-level needs. The needs start with basic physiological needs, such as food and shelter, and move up to safety, love and belonging, esteem, and self-actualization. Sharon's progression towards intellectual and aesthetic pursuits would place her in the self-actualization stage, which is the highest level of need attainment in Maslow's hierarchy.
