马斯洛的需要层次理论着眼于人的需要的研究,与思想政治工作有相通之处。弱势社会群体是社会发展过程产生的特殊群体,他们需要的满足对于控制重大社会风险、稳定社会有着重要影响。我们应该充分了解弱势群体需要的层次性,运用发展的,变化的观点准确把握弱势群体的需要,要特别重视弱势群体的无意识需要,要注意运用需要次序的变动性激活弱势群体的精神动力。 Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory focuses on the study of human needs and has something in common with ideological and political work. Disadvantaged social groups are special groups arising from the process of social development. Their need of gratification has an important influence on controlling major social risks and stabilizing the society. We should fully understand the needs of the disadvantaged groups and use them correctly to grasp the needs of the disadvantaged. We should pay special attention to the unconscious needs of the vulnerable and pay attention to using the changing order of motivation to activate the vulnerable groups.
