According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, which of the following is the level immediately above safety needs?
Social or belonging needs sit immediately above safety needs in Maslow's hierarchy. The order is physiological, safety, social, esteem and then self-actualisation, with each level typically becoming a motivator once the lower level is reasonably satisfied.
- AEsteem needs
- BSocial (belonging) needsCorrect
- CSelf-actualisation needs
- DPhysiological needs
Explanation
Maslow's hierarchy runs from physiological, to safety, to social (belonging), to esteem, and finally self-actualisation. Social needs therefore come directly after safety. Esteem is two levels above safety, and physiological needs sit below it.
