According to Fromm’s theory, which need would be met for Jeremy and Latisha by having a baby? How does this concept of fulfilling a need differ from what evolutionary psychologists would suggest as a reason for wanting to have children?
What will be an ideal response?
The relatedness need would motivate Jeremy and Latisha’s desire to have children, according to Fromm. Children are also sometimes thought to fulfill the transcendence need. Fromm thought that we are motivated to fulfill these (and other) needs in order to help us reunify with the natural world. This is very different than the motivation behind reproduction according to evolutionary psychologists. Evolutionary psychologists would suggest an instinct to pass on our genes is the primary motivator for having children.
