This study aims to analyze the hierarchy of needs of a teenager, Meilin Lee, and her characteristics of self-actualization portrayed in the movie Turning Red. The writer applied the theory of the hierarchy of needs by Abraham Maslow using the descriptive qualitative method to analyze this study. The study identifies 22 data on the hierarchy of needs and 9 data on characteristics of self-actualization. Mei successfully fulfills five needs based on the hierarchy of needs, they are physiological, safety, belongingness and love, esteem, and self-actualization. After successfully fulfilling her self-actualization needs, Mei is also known as an actualized person and has specific characteristics that are different from others. Mei has seven characteristics of self-actualization, they are acceptance of self, others, and nature; spontaneity, simplicity, and naturalness; problem centering; continued freshness of appreciation; democratic character structure; creativeness; and resistance to enculturation. In conclusion, though Mei is still a teenager she successfully fulfills all needs based on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. This is because of the characteristics of self-actualization she has.References
