Emotions and Needs Exercise
To review, here is a list of needs from Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.
Physical Needs – food, water, breathing, shelter
Safety Needs – physical and financial safety; safe from accidents or illness
Belonging Needs – friendships, family, and other relationships
Esteem Needs – being accepted, valued, and respected by others
Self-Actualization Needs – realize your potential and do what you were “born to do”
For each of the following scenarios, identify the emotion and the need or needs being met or not met:
- Peaches didn’t get invited to the party.
- Pit spent the afternoon playing a hard game of soccer.
- Pomegranate got a call from her best friend.
