Laura has a nearly new economy car, but she wants a Ford Mustang because she thinks it would be exciting to own one. If she decides to purchase a sports car such as the Mustang, she will be primarily fulfilling a PSYCHOLOGICAL need.
Explanation:
- Psychological needs can be defined as a psychological condition in which something is required or wanted.
- According to Self-determination theory, human beings have three basic psychological needs: a need for autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Cross-cultural research has shown that need satisfaction is necessary for all people's healthy development, engagement, motivation, and well-being.
- Need satisfaction is even related to greater work performance, less perceived stress, and fewer turnover intentions. Also, when the needs are not satisfied, there will be negative psychological consequences.
- The three basic psychological needs are present and need to be satisfied at all levels of human functioning: at the specific-task level (a given job task), at the domain level (work or family), and at the global level (personality).
