Maslow's hierarchical model

has been validated by a number of studies

has been invalidated by intuitive means

has never been validated by studies

has been validated by empirical studies

The answer is- Has never been validated by studies

Explanation:

Maslow's theory is one of the five theories of motivation. According to this theory we have five categories of needs which are; physiological, safety, love, esteem and self-actualization. In his theory, higher needs in the hierarchy begin to emerge when people feel they have sufficiently satisfied the previous need. It is a hierarchy because needs are satisfied sequentially.

However, Maslow's theory was based on his own personal observations and his biographical analysis of individuals he considered to be "self-actualized". The theory was not based on any credible empirical research and has never been tested adequately as a complete theory. Research data does not validate this theory.

answer; i believe the correct answer is (a) the correlation between the cause variable and outcome variable is zero;

panem is a communist totalitarian dictatorship where all the resources and how they are allocated belongs to the capitol. the districts exist only to provide goods and services for the capital and most of the citizens live in poverty. it is a police state where the "peacekeepers" use force and threats to keep the people under control. dissent is outlawed and those who disobey the law are executed, flogged, or turned into avoxes. the games are another means in which the ruling elite in the capitol exert their power over the districts. when reading the books i drew parallels between panem and the soviet union and north korea. in no way is panem capitalist. the people in the capitol are wealthy but the majority of them are involved in the government somehow. it was the same way in the former soviet union where bigwigs in the communist party and high ranking government officials were given access to goods, services, medical treatments not available to the general public. if you think panem has a capitalist economy you need to brush up on your economics.
