Answer to Question 1
ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Maslow proposed a hierarchy of five innate needs that activate and direct human behavior (1968, 1970b). They are the physiological, safety, belongingness and love, esteem, and self-actualization needs. Maslow described these needs as instinctoid, by which he meant that they have a hereditary component.
Answer to Question 2
ANS: C
FEEDBACK: In 1941, Maslow witnessed a parade shortly after Japan's surprise attack on the American naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, precipitating U.S. involvement in World War II. The experience changed his thinking and he resolved to devote himself to developing a psychology that would deal with the highest human ideals. He would work to improve the human personality and to demonstrate that people are capable of displaying better behavior than prejudice, hatred, and aggression.
