Physiological needs are what psychologist Abraham Maslow defined as basic needs. Excretion is another physiological need as all living organisms need to eliminate residues of what they have consumed and what the body has processed. Psychological needs are needs of the brain or of the psyche (Ancient Greek for “soul”).

Physiological needs – these are biological requirements for human survival, e.g. air, food, drink, shelter, clothing, warmth, sex, sleep. Maslow considered physiological needs the most important as all the other needs become secondary until these needs are met.

There are four basic needs: The need for Attachment; the need for Control/Orientation; the need for Pleasure/Avoidance of Pain; and the need for Self-Enhancement.

According to SDT there are three psychological needs (autonomy, competence, relatedness) that are universally important for psychological wellbeing and autonomous motivation.

Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is a theory of motivation which states that five categories of human needs dictate an individual’s behavior. Those needs are physiological needs, safety needs, love and belonging needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization needs.

What are the 6 Human Needs and How do they Work?

• Certainty. We all have a need for certainty.
• Uncertainty or Variety. This relates to a need we have for variety.
• Significance. This relates to Maslow’s ‘Esteem’.
• Connection +/- Love. This relates back to Maslow’s ‘love and belonging’.

In order to survive, animals need air, water, food, and shelter (protection from predators and the environment); plants need air, water, nutrients, and light. Every organism has its own way of making sure its basic needs are met.

In order to survive, all living things need air, water, and food. Animals obtain their food from plants and other animals, which provides them with the energy they need to move and grow. An animal’s home (habitat) must provide these basic needs (air, water and food) along with shelter from bad weather and predators.

Living things need need air, water, food and shelter to survive. There is a difference between needs and wants. Students will be able to identify the four things that organisms need to survive.

Human beings have certain basic needs. We must have food, water, air, and shelter to survive. If any one of these basic needs is not met, then humans cannot survive.
