Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hierarchy of needs theory suggests that once basic physiological needs (such as food and shelter) are met, individuals seek social connections and self-esteem. In wealthy nations, individuals are more likely to have their basic needs met, and therefore emphasize the importance of social connections for their well-being. In contrast, in poor nations, individuals may prioritize meeting their basic needs over social connections.
