| description | University mattering is a type of societal mattering where students feel they matter when the
people in a university knows about them, when the people reacts to their requirements, and
when students can make a positive contribution to others. According to Rosenberg and
McCullough (1981), mattering consists of four distinct elements which include awareness,
importance, reliance, and ego-extension. Mattering had not much local study and it’s not very
popular across the local research. Thus, the researcher decided to conduct this study to access
university mattering. This study is designed to investigate the level of mattering among public
university students. By using the Revised University Mattering Scale (RUMS) to measure the
mattering level of 214 respondent. Descriptive analysis and inferential analysis are utilized in
the process of analysis of the data. The result shows the overall level of mattering among
university students are above average. In addition, the level of mattering among females are
slightly higher than males, and the undergraduates’ mattering level is higher than the
postgraduates. These findings are consistent with the results of the previous study. |
