What defines the Humanistic Theory ?
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
People are inherently good and try to make morally right decisions.
Perceptions of your experiences is a result of your own view rather than environment.
Focus on “self”, the individual. Nurture over nature.
Decisions are goal-oriented , and organism has a natural tendency to strive, actualize and enhance individual’s experience.
This idea of a human’s journey to self actualization is best described in Maslow’s Hirearchy of Needs
