Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: According to Maslow, self-actualizers are concerned with fulfilling their potential and with knowing and understanding their environment. Their goal is to enrich their lives by acting to increase tension so as to experience a variety of stimulating and challenging events. Because their lower-order deficiency needs have been met, self-actualizers function at a level beyond striving for specific goal objects to satisfy a deficit. Thus, they are in a state of being, spontaneously, naturally, and joyfully expressing their full humanity.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: D-motivation involves striving for something specific to make up for something that is lacking within us. Maslow's (1971) writing about the development of B-motivation and D-motivation is incomplete, but apparently D-motivation applies not only to physiological needs but also to safety, belongingness and love, and esteem needs.
