'''Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs''' is a theory in [[psychology]] that [[Abraham Maslow]] proposed in his [[1943]] paper ''A Theory of Human Motivation'', which he subsequently extended to include his observations of man's innate curiosity. His theory contends that as [[human]]s meet 'basic needs', they seek to satisfy successively 'higher needs' that occupy a set [[hierarchy]]. Maslow studied exemplary people such as [[Albert Einstein]], [[Jane Addams]], [[Eleanor Roosevelt]], and [[Frederick Douglass]] rather than [[mentally ill]] or [[neurotic]] people, writing that "the study of crippled, stunted, immature, and unhealthy specimens can yield only a cripple psychology and a cripple philosophy."<ref name = "Motivation">''Motivation and Personality'', 1987.</ref>
