Sense of coherence and physical health. A "Copenhagen interpretation" of Antonovsky's SOC concept.
According to Antonovsky's (Aaron Antonovsky, 1923-1994) sense of coherence (SOC) model, persons with a high SOC have the ability to benefit from their general defense mechanisms in order to overcome stressful situations. In a health-disease continuum, this leads to the development towards health. However, Antonovsky's global hypothesis that the strength of the SOC may influence the physical hea...
متن کاملSense of coherence and physical health. A cross-sectional study using a new scale (SOC II).
In this study, we constructed a new sense of coherence scale (SOC II), where we eliminated the notion of predictability (that life is meant to be predictable), which was present in the original SOC scale developed by Aaron Antonovsky (1923-1994) (SOC-29 and SOC-13). Our hypothesis was that SOC II would show a higher degree of association with physical health than the original SOC scale. In orde...

15 صفحه اولSense of coherence and physical health. The emotional sense of coherence (SOC-E) was found to be the best-known predictor of physical health.
In this study, we created a measure for emotionality named the emotional sense of coherence (SOC-E). We found that SOC-E was significantly associated with physical health (r = 0.266; p < 0.05), while it was not significantly associated with psychological health (r = 0.006; NS). Based on a correlation matrix, we constructed a new scale, the SOC-E II, which was even better associated with physica...
متن کاملSense of coherence and health. The construction of an amendment to Antonovsky's sense of coherence scale (SOC II).
In two previous papers, we concluded that (1) the sense of coherence (SOC) scale developed by Aaron Antonovsky (1923-1994) is unable to prove the association between SOC and the physical health empirically and (2) the SOC scale is unlikely to be a fair materialization of Antonovsky's idea and, thus, unlikely to measure SOC correctly. In order to improve the scale, we developed some new question...
