APFIVE A study aims to test Maslow’s hierarchy of needs by providing participants with resources to fulfill their physiological needs and then observing their pursuit of higher-level needs. The participants do not consistently pursue higher-level needs after their physiological needs are met. What conceptual mistake did the researcher make?
Believing that all individuals prioritize their needs in the same order as proposed by Maslow.
Overlooking the role of personal values and goals in determining which needs individuals pursue.
Assuming that the fulfillment of lower-level needs automatically leads to the pursuit of higher-level needs in a linear fashion.
Ignoring the possibility that cultural and individual differences affect the prioritization of needs.
