Question

Jill decided to give an informative speech about the use of dating websites to find companionship. She was sure to recognize that all human beings (her audience included) desire long-term unconditional acceptance from others. Which of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs was Jill addressing?

Answer 1

Answer:

Love and Belonging

Explanation:

Abraham Maslow proposed Hierarchy of Needs in his "A Theory of Human Motivation" in 1943. He observed humans' psychology of need and development, their actions and reception at different occasion, time and age.

Jill draws parallel to Maslow's third need known as Love and Belonging. Her speech validates his theory of social acceptance and recognition. Jill believes that all human beings have the desire for unconditional love. It brings social proximity for people facing depression, aloofness and anxiety. It is one of the coping mechanism and unprecedented happiness.  Dating serves as an ideal way to beat social exclusion as a person gets nurture, intimacy, love and acceptance from the partner. It helps in self motivation along with companionship.
