Belonging
Human beings have a natural need for affection, love, and belonging
According to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, belonging and love are the most essential psychological needs
Biological explanation: humans that bonded and were members of a social group were more likely to survive than humans that were reclusive or isolated
Psychosocial explanation: humans that feel a sense of belonging receive positive emotional support, attention, and beneficial health effects (reduced stress & anxiety)
