Preferences of Aesthetic Needs, Secondary School Students in Pakistan

After studying three distant psychological revolutions; the first that of psychoanalysis which emphasized unconscious and irrational force as controlling factors of behavior; the second revolution, the force of stimulus-response that characterized behavior; more recently, a third revolution namely ¿the humanistic theory of motivation¿. The researcher acknowledged that Abraham H. Maslow may be considered the propounded and fore-runner of ¿Humanism¿ in psychology. The researcher inferred from the work Maslow had done that his contribution in the realm of human history and particularly in the field of human motivation, without doubt is remarkable work. To date none has come out with a better proposal than his hierarchical pyramid of human motivation. All that, so far done, had been the extension of Maslow''s ideas and motivational indicators. However, this does not mean an end to further assessment of each hierarchical need of his needs'' pyramid. Still there is need to further undertake research to know about ¿hierarchical divisions in order of their potency and how those are influenced in different cultural settings.¿
