199 homeless men were administered the General Mattering Scale to assess their belief that they mattered to others in their community. Analysis indicated that homeless men felt that they were important to others, that others pay attention to them, that they would be missed by others if they went away, that people were interested in what they had to say, and that others depended on them. The General Mattering Scale displayed strong internal consistency (Cronbach alpha of 85).
对199名无家可归的男性进行了一般重要性量表测试,以评估他们是否相信自己对社区中的其他人来说是重要的。分析表明,无家可归的男性觉得自己对他人很重要,他人会关注他们,他们如果离开会被他人想念,人们对他们要说的话感兴趣,而且他人依赖他们。一般重要性量表显示出很强的内部一致性(克朗巴哈系数为85)。
