Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deci and Ryan's self-determination theory and Maslow's hierarchy of needs both emphasize the importance of fulfilling psychological needs for motivation. Both theories propose that individuals have different levels of needs that must be met before they can achieve self-actualization and optimal well-being. Deci and Ryan's self-determination theory identifies three universal psychological needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness, while Maslow's hierarchy of needs identifies five levels of needs: physiological, safety, love/belonging, esteem, and self-actualization.
