Dr Maslow's theory

seven types of people in the world.

-The Explorer-Young in nature, first to try out new ideas.

-The Aspirer- Materialistic who are driven by other peoples perception of them.

-The Succeeder- possess self confidence, have strong goal orientation and are very organised.

- The Reformer- 'don't tell me what to do or what to think' says the reformer and are the most anti materialistic.

-The Mainstream- these are the people that live in the world of the domestic and the everyday. the daily routine is fundamental to the way they live.

-The Struggler- the strugglers live for today and make few plans for the future.

-The Resigned- these are predominantly older people with constant, unchanging values built up over time.  

Ien Ang (1991)
detailed that media producers have an imaginary entity in mind before the construction of a media product.

Hartley (1987)
also suggested that institutions must produce "invisible fictions of the audience which allow the institutions to get a sense of who they must enter relations with."
