The first group, emotional support, was
initially expressed in the need terms of
Murray (43). The second can similarly be
expressed as need recognition from the
Murray lexicon. The third is clearly akin to
at least two of Leighton's (34) essential
striving sentiments: "Orientation in terms
of one's place in society .. ." and "The
securing and maintaining of membership
in a definite human group." This means
that the whole concept can be expressed in
person-environment fit terms (21,41) or as
the extent to which the relevant needs are
met.
