Abstract
This chapter focuses on revising my Neo-Maslovian model (Young, Development and causality: Neo-Piagetian perspectives. New York: Springer Science + Business Media, 2011) by incorporating social psychology conceptualization on moral and other motives (Forbes, Haidt, and Janoff-Bulman and colleagues). My first Maslovian model revision in Young (Development and causality: Neo-Piagetian perspectives. New York: Springer Science + Business Media, 2011) had divided his well-known triangular model of hierarchical needs into two halves—one on self-definition and one on relatedness (after Blatt, Polarities of experience: Relatedness and self-definition in personality development, psychopathology, and the therapeutic process. Washington, DC: American Psychological Association, 2008). The current revision adds a third component to the triangular model, related to environmental mastery/competence. Like the other two aspects of the self in the revised model, I show how it develops in five stages that are consistent with the five levels in the model on hierarchical needs. Moreover, my reworking of Maslow in this way allowed me to revisit the work of Forbes, Haidt, and Janoff-Bulman and colleagues and show how their models need to be revised in light of my own. In particular, I developed a model of foundational moral motives based on Haidt’s work on foundational motives and Janoff-Bulman’s on moral motives.
