(Answer to Q. 1)  ANS: A
FEEDBACK: According to Maslow, failure to satisfy metaneeds is harmful and produces a kind of metapathology, which thwarts the full development of the personality. Metapathology prevents self-actualizers from expressing, using, and fulfilling their potential.

(Answer to Q. 2)  ANS: A
FEEDBACK: According to Maslow, wholeness is a metaneed. Metaneeds are states of beingsuch as goodness, uniqueness, and perfectionrather than specific goal objects.

(Answer to Q. 3)  ANS: D
FEEDBACK: According to Maslow, self-actualizers are concerned with fulfilling their potential and with knowing and understanding their environment. Their goal is to enrich their lives by acting to increase tension so as to experience a variety of stimulating and challenging events. Because their lower-order deficiency needs have been met, self-actualizers function at a level beyond striving for specific goal objects to satisfy a deficit. Thus, they are in a state of being, spontaneously, naturally, and joyfully expressing their full humanity.

(Answer to Q. 4)  ANS: A
FEEDBACK: D-motivation involves striving for something specific to make up for something that is lacking within us. Maslow's (1971) writing about the development of B-motivation and D-motivation is incomplete, but apparently D-motivation applies not only to physiological needs but also to safety, belongingness and love, and esteem needs.

(Answer to Q. 5)  ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Maslow proposed a distinct type of motivation for self-actualizers which he called metamotivation. Self-actualizers are not motivated to strive for a particular goal. Instead, they are said to be developing from within.

(Answer to Q. 6)  ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Maslow proposed a distinct type of motivation for self-actualizers which he called metamotivation (sometimes called B-motivation or Being). The prefix meta means after or beyond. Metamotivation, then, indicates that it goes beyond psychology's traditional idea of motivation.
