Ian,

We discuss Maslow in my Org Behavior class (grad level) and in my 100 level class.  In the books I use, his model is seen as one of several ways to look at psychological needs (not sure how real psychology scholars think of it).  Personally, I describe it as one of the main reasons why the arts are often underfunded (both by public and private sources) because of the concept that other needs are more important than the arts.  But if there is a hierarchy of needs, why do people who are fed and housed by the state but who have no education, entertainment, creative outlet, etc, seem to be miserable?  Seems obvious that all needs must be addressed simultaneously.

Self-actualization

"Ian David Moss" <ian....@fracturedatlas.org>: Sep 11 10:21AM -0400 Hi everyone,   Quick question: what do people know about self-actualization (from Maslow's hierarchy of needs)? Does the academic research community take it seriously these days as a scientific construct? Has anyone used it in the context of an empirical study? If anyone can recommend strong literature reviews or experts on the topic, I'd be very grateful. Thanks!   Ian       Ian David Moss   Senior Director of Information Strategy   Fractured Atlas   212-277-8020 x213   ian....@fracturedatlas.org

Linda Essig <Linda...@asu.edu>: Sep 11 02:34PM Ian:   Coincidentally, my undergraduate arts entrepreneurship class was discussing Maslow and self-actualization just this week, although not in an empirical research context. I find it useful for explaining how an arts venture can help an artist meet the needs at both the top and the bottom of Maslow's hierarchy.   Although the term "self-actualization" isn't used explicitly, I also think you see the concept addressed indirectly in the research around arts education outcomes (especially in a higher ed context). There are others on the list who can likely address that more specifically.   All the best,   Linda Essig Pave Program in Arts Entrepreneurship     On Sep 11, 2014, at 7:21 AM, "Ian David Moss" <ian....@fracturedatlas.org<mailto:ian....@fracturedatlas.org>> wrote:   Hi everyone, Quick question: what do people know about self-actualization (from Maslow’s hierarchy of needs)?

Re: literature reviews on the Maslow's hierarchy

 

A well-known cross-cultural sociologist G. Hofstede concluded (1980) that “the ordering of needs in Maslow's hierarchy represents a value choice  -  Maslow's value choice. This choice was based on his mid-twentieth century U.S. middle class values. First, Maslow's hierarchy reflects individualistic values, putting self-actualization and autonomy on top. Values prevalent in collectivist cultures, such as "harmony" or "family support," do not even appear in the hierarchy.”

 

I attach an article which will provide more illustrations.

 

Hope it is helpful,

 

Sincerely,

 

Natalia
