Abstract:
Maslow believes that Self-actualization is the highest and most elusive of which can be achieved only after the lower needs have been met. Self-actualization occurs when a person ‘Ideal Self’ is congruent with the actual behavior. Humans have one basic motive, that is the tendency to actualize, to fulfill one’s potential and achieve the highest level of ‘human beingness’. A study was undertaken to explore the level of self-actualization in the students of Std. IX of English Medium Schools of Pune City. The scores of the study shows that the students of Std. IX of English Medium schools of Pune City possess low level of self-actualization.
