According to Maslow, which of the following is an accurate statement about D-motivation?
a. It involves striving for something specific to make up for something that is lacking within us.
b. It involves maximizing our personal potential rather than striving for a particular goal object.
c. It applies only to physiological needs.
d. It motivates and urges people toward self-actualization.
ANS: A
FEEDBACK: D-motivation involves striving for something specific to make up for something that is lacking within us. Maslow's (1971) writing about the development of B-motivation and D-motivation is incomplete, but apparently D-motivation applies not only to physiological needs but also to safety, belongingness and love, and esteem needs.
