In our project we want to use the concept of human needs to better analyze text content. The human needs assignment to texts allows a detailed analysis of the motivations and human needs from which people argue. With this gained information, many aspects of text analysis can be considered in a much more detailed and profound way.
## Basis of the project
In [Paul&Frank(2019)](https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/N19-1368/) this approach is already taken up. Here, the two authors pursue the question why certain positions, opinions and views on a topic are expressed by a person. The authors see the underlying reason in the concepts of human needs. Maslow(1943) and Reiss(2004) already deal with human needs. Here Maslow sets up the so-called Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

The authors see the underlying reason in the concepts of human needs, which have been established by Maslow(1943) as the hierarchy of needs and can be extended by Reiss(2004).
> Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a motivational theory in psychology comprising a five-tier model of human needs, often depicted as hierarchical levels within a pyramid. From the bottom of the hierarchy upwards, the needs are: physiological (food and clothing), safety (job security), love and belonging needs (friendship), esteem, and self-actualization. ~ quoted from [here](https://www.simplypsychology.org/maslow.html#gsc.tab=0)
Reiss takes up this pyramid of Maslow and expands it with further, more profound motives, matching the respective categories (see picture below). <br>
