{"product_id":"the-plateau-experience-von-scott-buckler","title":"The Plateau Experience","description":"\u003cp\u003eAbraham Maslow (1908-1970) was a leading  psychologist whose hierarchy of needs has resonated  throughout various disciplines. The pinnacle of  Maslow''s hierarchy was self-actualisation,  characterised by the peak experience. However there  are a series of definitional, theoretical and  methodological issues related to the hierarchy and  self-actualisation. Maslow specifically refuted his  own theory, instead suggesting that research should  be directed towards self-transcendence as  characterised by the plateau experience. To date,  the plateau experience has remained obscure. This  book explores the problematic nature of self- actualisation and the relationship between peak  experiences and flow, before progressing to analyse  Maslow''s composite musings about the plateau  experience. From this, a number of defining  characteristics are identified, which subsequently  inform the development of a psychometric, the  Plateau Experience measure (or PLEX). The PLEX has  demonstrated secure psychometric properties and is  offered as a resource to investigate the plateau  experience further.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783844306255\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMaslow''s Unfinished Theory\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783844306255","offer_id":39470045364317,"sku":"9783844306255","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/bf517d2b-60aa-4af9-8eb1-07f4e2b3af1e.jpg?v=1757909362","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/the-plateau-experience-von-scott-buckler","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
