Maslow's Humanistic Approach on Personality01:28

Maslow's Humanistic Approach on Personality

1.5K
Abraham Maslow, a prominent figure in humanistic psychology, developed a theory centered on self-actualization, which he placed at the top of his hierarchy of needs. According to Maslow, self-actualization represents achieving one's full potential and is a rare accomplishment attained by approximately 2% of the population. Maslow identified notable historical figures such as Thomas Jefferson, Mahatma Gandhi, Helen Keller, and Martin Luther King Jr. as examples of self-actualized...

The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Altruistic behaviors are “unselfish” behaviors—those that help another individual at the expense of the individual carrying out the behavior. Despite the negative consequences for the altruistic animal, these behaviors are thought to have evolved for several reasons.

Design Example: Identifying the Locations of Monuments in the Field Using Global Positioning System Device

491
Surveyors use Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to measure the precise location and elevation of points on Earth. In a recent survey, GPS receivers were used to determine the coordinates and elevations of two park monuments. The process involved careful mission planning, data collection, and correction to ensure accuracy. The survey began with mission planning to identify optimal satellite visibility and minimize Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP). A geodetic control point...

Area of Science:

  • Global Health
  • Medical Missions
  • International Collaboration

Background:

  • Humanitarian medical missions often face challenges in sustainability and local integration.
  • The "Seven Sins of Humanitarian Medicine" represent common pitfalls that can undermine mission effectiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a model for effective humanitarian medical missions.
  • To illustrate the benefits of sustained collaboration and follow-up in global health.
  • To demonstrate an approach that avoids common errors in humanitarian medicine.

Main Methods:

  • Established a model humanitarian mission in Guyana.
  • Focused on ongoing care in collaboration with local physicians and surgeons.
  • Ensured cooperation with local government and medical officials.
  • Implemented frequent, periodic follow-up missions to the same hospital with the same staff.

Main Results:

  • The mission demonstrated the value of consistent, collaborative medical care.
  • Strong partnerships with local healthcare providers and officials were crucial.
  • Repeated missions with the same team fostered continuity and trust.
  • The model largely avoided the "Seven Sins of Humanitarian Medicine".

Conclusions:

  • Sustained collaboration and consistent follow-up are key to successful humanitarian medical missions.
  • Integrating with local healthcare systems and personnel enhances mission impact.
  • This model offers a framework for more effective and sustainable global health initiatives.
