“…The results of this study are in line with Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs (Maslow, 1943). For the people from lower-SES groups who were included in this photovoice study, the basic needs at the bottom of the pyramid, such as physiological, safety and belongingness needs, appeared largely unsatisfied.…”

Purpose: This study aimed to identify opportunities to improve the current health and social situation of low socioeconomic status (SES) families and to gain a better understanding of the main needs regarding health promotion. Low-SES families were approached to participate in a photovoice study. Method: The study took place in the municipality of Vaals, which is located in the southernmost part of the Netherlands. A diverse group of ten people from eight different families took about 150 photographs within their community on topics they considered important for their health and quality of life. This was followed by individual interviews and a focus group interview. Results: Four main needs were identified: meeting each other, helping each other, feeling safe and being mobile. The photographs showed that health-related themes had low priority for these families. Conclusion: The low-SES families focused on upstream factors relating to independence, self-resilience and a sense of belonging, to help them cope with their current situation. This study represents a first step towards the development of a community approach to health promotion in low-SES families.

“…Maslow identifies safety as an basic human need that must be met before other needs can be achieved, such as psychological needs and self-actualisation [39,40]. Thus, individuals who work with youth should ensure that mental health interventions are trauma-informed and give attention to both developing external safety (actions that youth can take to effect change/safety in their surroundings) and internal safety (intrapersonal coping skills) [18].…”

Exploring coping strategies and mental health support systems among female youth in the Northwest Territories using body mapping

The mental health of young women in the Northwest Territories (NWT), Canada, is a critical public health concern; however, there is a dearth of research that examines how this population manages mental health challenges. This study explores the self-identified strategies that female youth in the NWT use to cope with mental health issues. The arts-based qualitative method of body mapping and a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach grounded in social ecological theory was used to collect data during in-depth semi-structured interviews. Forty-one participants (aged 13–17 years) attended FOXY body mapping workshops in six NWT communities in 2013 then completed interviews regarding the content of their body maps. Thematic analysis was used to identify five themes related to coping strategies: grounding via nature, strength through Indigenous cultures, connection with God and Christian beliefs, expression using the arts, and relationships with social supports. These results can be used to develop culturally relevant, strengths-based, trauma informed interventions that improve coping and resiliency among Northern youth.

“…In Hobbes' words, "Men are continually in competition for honor and dignity" (cited in Hirschman, 1973). More recently, Maslow (1943) argued for a fundamental longing for prestige and social esteem. Buss (1999) posited that the desire for status is an evolved adaptation---ascending the hierarchy is an important means to secure resources.…”

Preference effects on friendship choice: Evidence from an online field experiment

Realized friendship choices result from the combined forces of not only personal preferences but also opportunity structures. Thus, it is not possible to infer preference effects from observed friendship data without invoking unrealistic assumptions about opportunity structures. In this paper, we report a study, based on an online field experiment, demonstrating the role of preference in friendship choice. Specifically, we test the influences of preferences in two dimensions: (1) identity homophily --preference for other persons of the same or similar identity, and (2) status asymmetry --preference for other persons of higher social status. We empirically tested these preference effects with an online field experiment in one of the largest social network service (SNS) websites in China. The results of our study confirm the preference effects on friendship choice in both of the two dimensions we tested.
