“…The relative instability of the regions of satisfaction is also assumed to apply to psychogenic needs like those for esteem, relatedness, control, etc. (e.g., Barnfather, 1993; Deci & Ryan, 2000; Lykken & Tellegen, 1996; Maslow, 1943; Wolbring, Keuschnigg, & Negele, 2013).…”

We present a psychological model of extremism based on the concept of motivational imbalance whereby a given need gains dominance and overrides other basic concerns. In contrast, moderation results from a motivational balance wherein individuals’ different needs are equitably attended to. Importantly, under moderation the different needs constrain individuals’ behaviors in prohibiting actions that serve some needs yet undermine others. Those constraints are relaxed under motivational imbalance where the dominant need crowds out alternative needs. As a consequence, the constraints that the latter needs exercise upon behavior are relaxed, permitting previously avoided activities to take place. Because enactment of these behaviors sacrifices common concerns, most people avoid them, hence their designation as extreme. The state of need imbalance has motivational, cognitive, behavioral, affective and social consequences. These pertain to a variety of different extremisms that share the same psychological core: extreme diets, extreme sports, extreme infatuations, diverse addictions, as well as violent extremism. Evidence for the present model cuts across different domains of psychological phenomena, levels of behavioral analysis and phylogeny. We consider the model’s implications for further research and explore the tradeoffs between extremism and moderation.

“…Another study with undereducated adults enrolled in an adult education program indicated adaptive potential was useful in predicting attendance rates (Barnfather, 1988). Multidimensional scaling analysis supported the hypothesis that basic need satisfaction and adaptive potential are directly related (Barnfather, 1993).…”

The purpose of this study was to test a model drawn from the Modeling and Role-Modeling theory depicting relationships among psychosocial resources, perceived stress, and health for undereducated adults. A purposive sample of 171 adults enrolled at an urban adult education center completed several self-report measures: Modified Erikson Psychological Stage Inventory, Basic Need Satisfaction Inventory, Perceived Stress, and Positive Health Index. Based on a structural equation modeling analysis, psychosocial development and basic need satisfaction had significant direct effects on health, with the expected positive signs. Psychosocial development had the strongest direct effect on health and also had a strong direct effect on basic need satisfaction and an indirect effect on health. Support for the hypothesized model has important implications for nursing and other community-based care provider interventions regarding health, including strengthening psychosocial resources.

“…Furthermore, SCR develop over time as basic needs are met and psychosocial developmental tasks are accomplished (Erickson et al, 1983). Much early research with MRM focused on describing and exploring the concepts within the theory (Barnfather, 1990(Barnfather, , 1993Erickson, 1990). Nurse researchers also have described and studied MRM-based interventions (Acton & Miller, 1996;Baker, 1999;Miller, 1990;Sappington & Kelley, 1996).…”

Implementation and Evaluation of the Empower Youth Program

The goal of this research was to implement and evaluate the Empower Youth Program-a holistic, peer support, and education intervention aimed at enabling middle school-aged adolescents to take greater control over their health through improving self-care resources (SCR). Empower is based on the Mind, Body, Spirit Program developed by Rodgers and colleagues and tested on adults. An experimental pretest and posttest design was used to compare outcomes for two randomly assigned groups. Forty middle school participants completed measures of academic and emotional SCR before and after the 9-week intervention. It was hypothesized that after controlling for strength of preexisting SCR, participants who received the intervention would show greater improvement in self-reports after completing the program compared to participants receiving usual school services. The differences in scores between groups are clinically meaningful but not statistically significant. Future studies with larger samples may be able to detect significant contributions of the Empower program.
