    ______ ‘hierarchy of needs’ states that children, like people generally, have different levels of need and the most basic ones need to be met before the higher level needs can be reached.

    • Freud's

    • Maslow's

    • Jung's

    • Roger's

    Maslow's hierarchy of needs states that children, like people generally, have different levels of need and the most basic ones need to be met before the higher level needs can be reached. This theory proposes that individuals have a hierarchy of needs, starting from physiological needs (such as food, water, and shelter) at the base, followed by safety needs, social needs, esteem needs, and finally self-actualization needs at the top. According to Maslow, individuals must satisfy their lower-level needs before they can progress to fulfilling higher-level needs. This theory has been widely accepted and applied in various fields, including psychology, education, and management.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Considering a person's circumstances alone is not enough to explain or predict happiness levels. While circumstances such as financial stability, health, and relationships can have an impact on happiness, they are not the sole determinants. Factors like personality traits, mindset, and coping mechanisms also play a significant role in determining an individual's happiness levels. Additionally, happiness is subjective and can vary from person to person, making it difficult to predict solely based on circumstances.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that it is easy to separate self-esteem/confidence from emotional literacy, and that one way to foster confidence is through experiencing success in achieving new things. However, this statement is false. Self-esteem and confidence are closely linked to emotional literacy, as emotional literacy involves understanding and managing one's emotions, which in turn can contribute to self-esteem and confidence. While experiencing success can contribute to confidence, it is not the only factor, and emotional literacy plays a significant role as well.
