[edit]The last paragraph:
- A study examining Maslow’s characteristics of self-actualization compared British (individualistic) and Indian (collectivistic) participants using the Personal Orientation Inventory (POI). British participants scored significantly higher on POI scales measuring Maslow’s self-actualisation characteristics. According to this study, while the general idea of fulfilling one’s potential may be universal, the specific characteristics described by Maslow reflect Western individualistic values and do not generalise to collectivistic cultural contexts.
is not supported by the reference provided which refers to a study about physical attractiveness and self-actualisation using participants recruited from UCL only and no mention of India. Presumably another article was intended? qwaal (talk) 14:53, 31 May 2026 (UTC)
