What is an example of a basic psychological need?

Belonging
Self-control
Self-esteem
Social interaction

The correct answer is: Belonging

An example of a basic psychological need is belonging. This refers to the human need for connection and a sense of belonging with others. The other options, while also important human needs, are not classified as basic psychological needs. Self-control can be considered a self-regulatory need, self-esteem can be categorized as a higher-level psychological need, and social interaction can be a means of satisfying the need for belonging, but it is not a basic psychological need in and of itself.
