Extended data

1, the five kinds need to be gradually upgraded from low to high like a ladder, but this order is not completely fixed, it can be changed, and there are various exceptions.

2. The hierarchy of needs theory has two basic starting points. First, everyone has needs. After the needs of one level are met, the needs of another level appear. Second, before a variety of needs are met, meet the urgent needs first; After this demand is met, the latter demand shows their incentive effect.

3. Generally speaking, when a certain level of demand is relatively satisfied, it will develop to a higher level, and the pursuit of higher-level demand will become the driving force of behavior. Accordingly, the demand for basic satisfaction is no longer an incentive force.

4. Five needs can be divided into two levels, among which physiological needs, safety needs and emotional needs belong to the lower level and can be met by external conditions; The need for respect and self-realization is an advanced need, which can be met by internal factors. A person's need for respect and self-realization is endless.
