This book, the first of its kind, summarizes the psychological research on the concept of mattering, and outcomes associated with the presence or absence of feelings of being valued to others.
Mattering, the felt experience of being valued and necessary to others, is a unique and complex psychological construct. Individual differences in mattering predict consequential outcomes at the individual, relationship, and societal levels.
With a strong evidence-based focus, Gordon Flett offers unique insights from the psychological literature that draw clear links between a lack of mattering and measures of depression, anxiety, suicide risk, aggression and violence, as well as positive outcomes related to strong family relationships and measures of resilience, adaptability, motivation, and performance. Crucial links between social marginalization and mattering are explored, along with the relationship between mattering and child development. Clinical applications summarize mental health interventions to measure and address issues related to mattering in family, school, and community contexts.
Gordon L. Flett, PhD is professor in the department of psychology at York University in Toronto, Canada, where he holds a Canada Research Chair in Personality & Health and is also director of the LaMarsh Centre for Child and Youth Research. Dr. Flett is most recognized for his seminal contributions to research and theory on the role of perfectionism in pathology. His other research interests include the study of feelings of mattering to others in health and well-being, and the nature and correlates of suicidality in the elderly. Dr. Flett is a Fellow of the Association for Psychological Science, which has cited him as one of the top 25 most productive authors in psychology.
