HOW IS MATURITY MEASURED? There is no standard way of measuring maturity, but there are approaches towards a better understanding of what a mature person is. In general we can speak of a mature person as: Capable of meeting lifes challenges effectively They tend to live a happier and more meaningful life, and They are able to develop their potentials much more fully than others. One of the most significant attempts to identify qualities of a mature person was made by the psychologist Abraham Maslow, who developed the concept of Self-Actualization. He speaks of four stages of human growth identified in terms of the needs: Basic body needs, safety needs, belonging, esteem, and the highest being meta-needs or Self-actualization needs. Self-actualization is roughly defined as full use of talents, capacities, potentialities of an individual. Self-actualized people are the psychologically healthy people of the world. It will therefore be of use for us to study the qualities of such individuals. TO READ MORE, CLICK THE LINK --> Theosophical Society in the Philippines Corner Iba and P.
