Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs is a psychological theory that suggests our motivations are structured in a pyramid, starting from basic needs at the bottom to advanced needs at the top. The five levels include physiological needs, safety, love/belonging, esteem, and self-actualization. Interestingly, “competence” isn’t a specific tier, though feeling competent may contribute to the esteem and self-actualization levels.

In real-world scenarios, understanding where someone falls within Maslow’s framework can be incredibly helpful, especially in counseling or teaching. For instance, if a student is unable to focus on learning, it might be because their safety or belonging needs aren’t being met, indicating they need support before tackling academic goals.
