Studies on Maslows Hierachy of Needs:
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs as a Guide for Living
Authors: Lester, D., Hvezda, J., Sullivan, S., & Plourde, R.
Publication: Journal of Humanistic Psychology, 1983
Summary:
This study explores how Maslow's hierarchy of needs can be applied as a guide for living a fulfilling life. It highlights the importance of satisfying lower-level needs (physiological and safety) before addressing higher-level psychological and self-fulfillment needs. The authors discuss how unmet basic needs can lead to mental health challenges, including anxiety and depression.

Publication: Journal of Counseling Psychology, 2005
