Answer:

Belonging.

Explanation:

Belongingness can be defined as a human's emotional need of being accepted and supported by members of a group. This desire of belonging may be in a group of peers, school, college, office, etc.

Psychologists Baumeister and Leary in 1995, suggested a theory on belongingness, which suggests that belongingness helps a person to maintain a minimum amount of positivity.

<u>They asserted that when a person is denied this belongingness, they tend to witness a decrease in the level of health, happiness, and positivity. They begin to develop the risk of disease and sickness</u>.

So, the correct answer is belonging.
