Which of the following levels was NOT proposed by Abraham Maslow in his Hierarchy of Needs?

Basic needs
Safety needs
Recreational needs
Esteem needs

The correct answer is: Recreational needs

Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is a motivational theory in psychology that outlines five levels of human needs, depicting them as a pyramid. The levels, starting from the most fundamental to the more complex, include physiological needs (basic needs), safety needs, love and belonging needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization. The choice of "Recreational needs" is not one of Maslow's proposed levels. While recreational activities and needs can contribute to an individual's well-being and self-actualization, they are not classified as a distinct level in Maslow's hierarchy. Instead, they may fall under broader categories such as esteem needs or social needs, but they are not explicitly identified in the hierarchy itself. Understanding the correct answer is essential for recognizing how Maslow categorized human motivations and requirements, which can inform proper approaches in various fields, including psychology, education, and accessibility initiatives.
