Technology.

Answer:

Technology is not a basic need. Basic needs involve getting food, fluid, going to the bathroom, washing/keeping clean, getting dressed, and needs for social, religious, and community support. The physical needs are called Activities of Daily Living (ADLs).

Tools and Skills needed to meet ADLs:

  • Ability to move about independently
  • Ability to mentally understand the task
  • Ability to perform the task

For social, religious, and community support, a person primarily must desire these contacts. They then need a way to make contact, whether using a telephone, the internet, or transportation.

According to Abraham maslow what are our most basic and fundamental needs?

Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs posits that our most basic and fundamental needs are physiological needs such as food, water, sleep, and shelter. These needs form the foundation upon which higher-level needs, such as safety, belongingness, esteem, and self-actualization, can be met. Maslow believed that individuals must satisfy these basic needs before progressing to higher-order needs.


How do needs motivate behavior?

Basic needs motivate humans more than anything else. Psychologists call the four basic needs 'the 4 Fs,' which are fight, flight, feed, and mate, according to many psychology text books. If basic food and shelter needs aren't met, people probably won't be motivated to act towards achieving social needs. After the basic needs are met, then people move on to security, and from there to social needs such as feelings of love and a sense of belonging, and from there to self actualization, where someone might work on goals related to identity and self esteem.


Who was a psychologist who helped to define the idea of basic human needs?

Abraham Maslow was a psychologist who developed the hierarchy of needs theory, which outlines a pyramid of basic human needs. He proposed that individuals are motivated to fulfill these needs in a particular order, starting from physiological needs like air and water, to higher-level needs like self-actualization.
