The concept known as the law of the instrument, otherwise known as the law of the hammer, Maslow's hammer (or gavel), or the golden hammer, is a cognitive bias that involves an over-reliance on a familiar tool.
 As Abraham Maslow said in 1966, "I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail."
Abraham Harold Maslow ( ; April 1, 1908 – June 8, 1970) was an American psychologist who was best known for creating Maslow's hierarchy of needs, a theory of psychological health predicated on fulfilling innate human needs in priority, culminating in self-actualization.
 Maslow was a psychology professor at Alliant International University, Brandeis University, Brooklyn College, New School for Social Research, and Columbia University.
 He stressed the importance of focusing on the positive qualities in people, as opposed to treating them as a "bag of symptoms."
 A "Review of General Psychology" survey, published in 2002, ranked Maslow as the tenth most cited psychologist of the 20th century.
Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a theory in psychology proposed by Abraham Maslow in his 1943 paper "A Theory of Human Motivation" in "Psychological Review".
 Maslow subsequently extended the idea to include his observations of humans' innate curiosity.
 His theories parallel many other theories of human developmental psychology, some of which focus on describing the stages of growth in humans.
 Maslow used the terms "physiological", "safety", "belonging" and "love", "esteem", "self-actualization", and "self-transcendence" to describe the pattern that human motivations generally move through.
 The goal of Maslow's Theory is to attain the sixth level of stage: self transcendent needs.
Religions, Values, and Peak Experiences is a 1964 book about psychology by Abraham Maslow.

Maslow on Management (originally Eupsychian Management: A Journal) is a work on industrial psychology by Abraham Maslow, first published in 1965.
 Maslow's work is frequently invoked in attempts to explain and predict work behavior.
 In his work Maslow advocated the eupsychian (meaning moving towards psychological health or self-actualization) management as the ideal model for industrial organizations.
 Maslow took a keen interest in the application of humanistic psychology beyond one-on-one therapy to larger endeavors in organizations and education settings, where greater numbers of people could be positively affected.

Maslowian portfolio theory (MaPT) creates a normative portfolio theory based on human needs as described by Abraham Maslow.
 It is in general agreement with behavioral portfolio theory, and is explained in "Maslowian Portfolio Theory: An alternative formulation of the Behavioural Portfolio Theory", and was first observed in "Behavioural Finance and Decision Making in Financial Markets".
Metamotivation is a term coined by Abraham Maslow to describe the motivation of people who are self-actualized and striving beyond the scope of their basic needs to reach their full potential.
 Maslow suggested that people are initially motivated by a series of basic needs, called the hierarchy of needs.
 Maslow states, "Self-actualizing people are gratified in all their basic needs (of belongingness, affection, respect, and self-esteem)".
 Once a person has successfully navigated the hierarchy of needs thus satisfying all their basic needs, Maslow proposed they then travel "a path called growth motivation".
Motivation and Personality is a book on psychology by Abraham Maslow, first published in 1954.
 Maslow's work deals with the subject of the nature of human fulfillment and the significance of personal relationships, implementing a conceptualization of self-actualization.
 Underachievers have a need for social love and affection, but a self-actualized person has these "lower" needs gratified and is able to pursue his or her own path towards self-actualization.
