Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs outlines 5 levels of human needs: physiological needs, safety needs, love and belonging needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization needs. The model proposes that people are motivated to fulfill lower level basic needs before progressing on to meet higher level growth needs. Over time, other researchers have expanded on Maslow's original 5-tier model by adding additional stages to the hierarchy.
