Psychology Maslow Project



Psychology Maslow Project

20 point Assessment

Your assignment is to analyze advertisements according to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. You will create:

- A Pyramid which shows Maslow’s Hierarchy

o correctly labeled

o in the correct order (as seen on pg. 331)

o a small description with each in your own words

- You will then look through various advertisements and pick out examples that promise to fill each of Maslow’s 5 Needs

o example: an ad for food satisfies the physiological

o You should have at least 3-4 examples for each level.

- These ads should be glued on to your pyramid in the appropriate section

o You do not need to glue on the entire ad, you can simply use pictures, slogans, etc.

Next you will pick out one ad and write a short 2-3 paragraph essay in which you answer the following questions:

- Which need or needs is your advertisement attempting to satisfy and why?

- How persuasive is your advertisement?

- How successful do you think your product is in satisfying the need or needs?

- What are the strengths and weakness of the Hierarchy of Motives/Needs? Explain.

- Be sure to include a copy of the ad you are analyzing along with the paper.

This project will be worth 20 Assessment points. The grade will be based 50% on the quality of the pyramid and 50% on the quality of the paper.
