Psychology: Maslow, the Self-Actualized Person, & Weekend Homework

Directions:  Read the article below, and seek to understand (through Maslow's own words!) what the 12 characteristics of the Self-Actualized person looks like.  After, think of a person in your life who you believe to be as close to Maslow's concept of the Self-Actualized Person.  Type up a letter to them and explain in the letter how their behaviors and life experience make them a Self-Actualized person and how they've attained this status, according to Maslow. When you are finished, share your work with me and also share the letter with them this weekend if you can. You'll make their day....trust me!

Article: Maslow - the 12 Characteristics of a Self-Actualized Person

Homework due on Monday is to view a film and analyze the main character (or one of the main characters) using Maslow's theory on the Hierarchy of Needs and the Self-Actualized person.

Have the article either printed or up on your browser as you watch the film to look at the 12 characteristics of the Self-Actualized person to help you better understand if the character has in fact become Self-Actualized:
