Maslow investigated primate dominance behaviour and sexuality while attending university of Wisconsin and after graduating.When he was in New York he found two mentors Ruth Benedict and Max Wertheimer .Maslow admired them both professionally and personally.he thought there were such 'wonderful human beings', that Maslow began to take notes about them and their behaviour.The basis of his research is about mental health and human potential.He collected notes from other psychologists and wrote his experience and generated the concepts of a hierarchy of needs, metaneeds, self-actualizing persons, and peak experiences.
Maslow show human beings' needs like a ladder.the most primary needs were physical and they were at the bottom.Then from bottom to up,came safety needs,psychological or social needs and lastly the self-actualizing needs.according to Maslow a person can not climb the next step if s/he does not fulfill the lower step.Benedict and Wertheimer were Maslow's models of self-actualizing people can solve their problem outside of themselves.
