His subjects: maslow studied what he called exemplary people such as albert einstein, jane addams, Maslow wanted to understand what motivates people. He believed that people possess a set of motivation systems unrelated to rewards or unconscious desires. Rewards: reward is the attractive and motivational property of a stimulus that induces behavior.
