I was flipping through a psych book (Kossylyn and Rosenberg) today and found some updated info on Maslow's hierarchy and thought you might be interested Maslow's theory was very influential, but there's been found to be three weaknesses.<br /><br />1. First, research has produced mixed evidence for the idea that needs are organized into a clear cut hierarchy. The order gets mixed up sometimes.<br /><br />2. There is no good evidence that unmet needs become more important and that met needs become less important.<br /><br />3. The theory fails to explain various phenomena, like why people voluntarily go to war and put themselves in the line of fire.<br /><br />I don't think this new info contradicts what you've said so far, although it does argue for a more flexible approach to the pyramid and perhaps for introducing more complexity into our character models. It might be fun to brainstorm/think about.Livia Blackburnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15805379309049803903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217391718085448472.post-22113245401717818732010-04-21T14:20:53.030-05:002010-04-21T14:20:53.030-05:00Actually have one drugged in a cabinet, but she...Actually have one drugged in a cabinet, but she's loaded with profonol, so the space only bothers her briefly as she's put out and when she starts to come around.

I think I may try this with a current scene dealing with characters who are cold, hungry, exhausted, hunted, and unable to trust one-another. See what order feels most natural :)Hayley E.

No, shouldn't say enjoyed, more like appreciated. I remember going down the elevator into the Buffalo Bill Dam. Will never do that again. Never ever. Chose to walk out and up the mountain rather than go back up the elevator. And even then I had to walk through a tunnel cut through the mountain - with very inadequate light. It was cold in the mountain tunnel, but I was sweating. Been there, done that!Warren Baldwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17956713921509659993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217391718085448472.post-75901296547393603832010-04-20T07:54:27.993-05:002010-04-20T07:54:27.993-05:00These are always interesting.
