Human Needs Theory

Human Needs I Safety/Security The need for structure, predictability, stability, and freedom from fear and anxiety. Belongingness/Love The need to be accepted by others and to have strong personal ties with one's family, friends, and identity groups. Self-esteem The need to be recognized by oneself and others as strong, competent, and capable. It also includes the need to know that one has some effect on her/his environment.

Human Needs II Personal fulfillment The need to reach one's potential in all areas of life. Identity Goes beyond a psychological "sense of self." Burton and other human needs theorists define identity as a sense of self in relation to the outside world. Identity becomes a problem when one's identity is not recognized as legitimate, or when it is considered inferior or is threatened by others with different identifications.

Human Needs III Cultural security Related to identity, the need for recognition of one's language, traditions, religion, cultural values, ideas, and concepts. Freedom The condition of having no physical, political, or civil restraints; having the capacity to exercise choice in all aspects of one's life. Distributive justice The need for the fair allocation of resources among all members of a community.

Human Needs IV Participation The need to be able to actively partake in and influence civil society
