Although the perception of mattering to others has been described as important for psychosocial well-being (Coopersmith, 1967; Rosenberg, 1985), very little attention has been given to the empirical study, measurement, and evaluation of this construct. The present project employed Loevinger's (1957) three-component model for construct validation to examine the construct validity of perceived mattering to mothers, fathers, and friends. Findings provide support for theoretical inferences about the characteristics of perceived mattering. For example, purpose for life and a sense of relatedness are positively associated with perceived mattering and perceived mattering appears to be a distinct construct from global self-esteem
尽管被他人重视的感觉已被描述为对心理社会幸福感很重要（库珀史密斯，1967年；罗森伯格，1985年），但对这一概念的实证研究、测量和评估却很少受到关注。本项目采用洛温格（1957年）的三成分模型进行结构效度验证，以检验被母亲、父亲和朋友重视的感觉的结构效度。研究结果为有关被重视感觉特征的理论推断提供了支持。例如，生活目的和关联感与被重视感觉呈正相关，而且被重视感觉似乎是一个与整体自尊不同的概念。
