Traditionally, these concepts have been studied in offline social contexts. The rise of information and communication technologies has expanded the social environments in which individuals may feel valued or, conversely, insignificant. However, evidence on measurement invariance of these combined offline and online mattering scales for gender and different developmental stages remains limited in culturally diverse countries, including Turkey.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study aimed to validate four scales assessing both offline and online dimensions of mattering and anti\u2010mattering\u2014the General Mattering Scale, the Anti\u2010Mattering Scale, the Online Mattering Scale, and the Online Anti\u2010Mattering Scale\u2014within a Turkish sample of adolescents and college students.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Data were collected from 888 participants (high school students:\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 434, mean age = 15.51 \u00b1 1.02, 63.1% female; college students:\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 454, mean age = 21.10 \u00b1 1.67, 84.1% female). Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) were conducted to examine the dimensional structure and reliability of the scales. Additionally, the Many\u2010Facet Rasch Model (MFRM) was applied to test measurement invariance across educational levels and gender.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>CFA results indicated acceptable fit indices for all four scales across both groups, with reliability coefficients exceeding recommended thresholds.
