Teachers in a low-income community observed that their students had a hard time concentrating in class on Mondays. They formed a nonprofit organization
to collect and package donated healthy food items for low-income students to
take home on the weekends. The teachers observed that the students who
received the food packages on Friday had fewer behavioral problems on
Mondays. How does Maslow's hierarchy explain this phenomenon?
Students who had their safety needs met could then focus on higher-
level needs.
Students who had their physiological needs met could then focus on
higher-level needs.
Students who had their esteem needs met could then focus on higher-
level needs.
Students who had their belongingness needs met could then focus on
higher-level needs.
