This is the article in which Maslow first presented his hierarchy of needs.
Maslow studied what he called exemplary people such as Albert Einstein, Jane Addams, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Frederick Douglass rather than mentally ill or neurotic people..
Maslow described various needs and used the terms Physiological, Safety, Belongingness and Love, Esteem, Self-Actualization and Self-Transcendence needs to describe the pattern that Human motivations generally move through.
His theories parallel many other theories of Human developmental psychology, some of which focus on describing the stages of growth in humans.
Maslow subsequently extended the idea to include his observations of humans\' innate curiosity.
It was first printed in his 1943 paper A Theory of Human Motivation.
