12.  Abraham H. Maslow developed a Hierarchy of Needs, consisting of five hierarchic classes that can be a useful method to selecting needs for motivational appeals.  The lower level needs must be satisfied before higher level needs can be addressed.  According to Maslow, if you are trying to motivate your listeners to satisfy a particular need, you want to make sure the lower level needs are being met before you can motivate them to address an upper level need. MASLOW’S HIERARCHY OF NEEDS

14.  In applying Maslow's theory to persuasive appeals, you must: 1. Decide which appeal would be most effective for the intended receiver. This may mean predicting the needs level of your receiver at the time of your persuasive effort. 2. Shape a message that capitalizes on the receiver's needs. 3. Persuade the receiver that the desired action would satisfy those needs. MASLOW’S HIERARCHY OF NEEDS
