A multiple indicators multilevel (MIML) latent growth model was used to examine university students' (N=484) perceived mattering to mother, father, and friends over a three year period. The model was used to examine whether repeated measurements of perceived mattering remained invariant across time for all three referents, what the developmental trajectories looked like, and if the growth trajectories varied between gender groups and living arrangements. Temporal measurement invariance held for all three referents. Growth trajectories showed a significant declining slope for perceived mattering to mother only. Women perceived themselves as mattering to parents and friends more than men. Living arrangements were associated with mattering to friends but not mattering to parents.
采用多指标多层次（MIML）潜在增长模型，考察了大学生（N=484）在三年期间对母亲、父亲和朋友的感知重要性。该模型用于检验对于所有三个参照对象，感知重要性的重复测量是否在时间上保持不变，以及发展轨迹是什么样子，如果增长轨迹在性别群体和生活安排之间存在差异。所有三个参照对象的时间测量不变性都成立。增长轨迹显示，只有对母亲的感知重要性呈显著下降趋势。女性认为自己对父母和朋友更重要。生活安排与对朋友的重要性有关，但与对父母的重要性无关。
