3. Emotions Reactions O Emotions are a person’s individual reactions to an experience. O A reaction is a response.

4. What do Emotions do? O Emotions are natural. O They serve a purpose. O They signal reactions to events and experiences. O Emotions show up in the way the people look, act, and sound. O Body language is the way people move and hold their heads, arms and legs. O All people have basic needs, including emotional needs.

5. What Basic Needs Do People Have? Abraham Maslow studied what humans need. He found that people have five basic needs. Figure 2.1.1 on the right, shows his hierarchy of needs. Esteem: value or worth; how one sees oneself or others Hierarchy: order from most to least important

6. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs… Physical Needs Safety Needs O Physical needs are everything necessary to stay alive- water, food and oxygen. O Regularly eating the right foods meets many of your physical needs. O Safety needs are protection needs. O That means protecting yourself from danger and from the conditions around you. O Being sheltered from harm meets our basic safety needs.

7. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs… Belonging Needs O Two types: belonging in place and belonging in with people O Belonging in a place helps you feel secure and safe. Examples are home, school, town, country. O Belonging with people leads you to form friendships. O Friendships- love based on choices. O Attachment is a relationship based on need, and is an emotional bond or tie to others.

8. Belonging Needs Continued… O You are born into a family but you choose your friends. O You choose friends because you have common interests and goals. O You can have many friends, but only a few to whom you are especially close. O Romantic love is a strong physical and emotional attraction between two people.

9. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs… Esteem Needs Self-Actualization Needs O Two kinds of esteem: esteem from others and self-esteem, or how you feel about yourself. Another word is self-confidence. O Self-concept, or your ideas about who you are. O Self-Actualization means achieving your possibilities. O People who have satisfied their physical safety, belonging, and self-esteem needs are able to become self- actualized. O Go beyond themselves to give to others.

10. How do needs lead to different emotions? O Your feelings or emotions are closely connected to your needs. O Sometimes you may feel unpleasant emotions such as guilt or shame. O Guilt is the feeling of having done something wrong. O While people have the same needs, they may have different ways of showing those needs.
