Notes de l'éditeur
The needs of an individual can be classified as a hierarchy from physiological needs
(hunger, thirst) at the bottom, to safety needs (security, protection), to social needs
(sense of belonging, love), to esteem needs (self-esteem, recognition, status), to selfactualization
needs (self-development, actualization) at the top. The needs at the bottom
of the hierarchy such as thirst tend to be satisfied first whereas needs at the top of the
hierarchy such as realization tend to be satisfied last. Culture can impact on the needs at
every level of the hierarchy. However, the higher in the hierarchy, the greater the impact
of the culture is. The research is showing that both specific needs and their ranking can
vary from culture to culture.
