What need is primarily associated with the feeling of worth and self-respect in individuals?

Self-actualization needs
Love and belonging needs
Safety and security needs
Self-esteem needs

The correct answer is: Self-esteem needs

The need primarily associated with the feeling of worth and self-respect in individuals corresponds to self-esteem needs. This category includes both the desire for respect from others (recognition, status) and self-respect, which encompasses feelings of achievement and confidence. When individuals have their self-esteem needs met, they are more likely to feel valued, capable, and competent in their endeavors. In the context of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, self-esteem is positioned between love and belonging, and self-actualization. While love and belonging focus on social relationships and emotional connections, and self-actualization pertains to realizing one's potential and personal growth, self-esteem is directly linked to how individuals perceive their worth and competence. This need drives individuals to seek affirmation and validation from their environment, contributing significantly to their overall psychological well-being.
