analyse the major individual factors that influence consumer behaviour. Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a theory of motivation that suggests that people seek to satisfy needs according to a hierarchy that places lower order 'biogenic' needs before higher order 'psychogenic' needs. Physiological, or biogenic, needs are the most basic: food, water, shelter, clothing, sleep and sex. Once these needs are reasonably satisfied, then the need for physical and emotional safety and security will come to the fore. In turn, once the individual feels safe and secure, social needs such as the desire for love, affection and belonging will be dominant. Beyond social needs are the ego or esteem needs, which relate to self-esteem and the individual's need to be recognised and respected by others. At the top of the hierarchy, self-actualisation needs refer to an individual's need for improvement, achievement and success.
