Two scales have been proposed to measure Maslow's hierarchy of needs in college students, one by Lester (1990) and one by Strong and Fiebert (1987). In a sample of 51 college students, scores on the corresponding scales for the five needs did not correlate significantly and positively, except for the measures of physiological needs. Furthermore, there was limited support for Maslow's hypothesis that need deprivation would predict psychopathology (specifically, mania and depression).
已经提出了两种量表来测量大学生的马斯洛需求层次理论，一种是由莱斯特（1990年）提出的，另一种是由斯特朗和菲伯特（1987年）提出的。在一个由51名大学生组成的样本中，除了生理需求的测量指标外，五种需求的相应量表得分并没有显著正相关。此外，对于马斯洛关于需求剥夺会预测精神病理学（具体而言，躁狂和抑郁）的假设，支持有限。
