We have previously concluded that the use of the Antonovsky Sense of Coherence (SOC) scale was unable to document a predicted strong association between SOC and physical health. By way of statistical methods numerous studies have investigated the validity, reliability, and applicability of the SOC scale with positive results. However, this paper analyses whether the questions in the SOC scale a...

16 disjoint. It overcomes the hypothesis of existence of a precise final goal in goal-regression systems. Motivations have been shown to be useful in guiding the behavior of a mobile robot in variously configured indoor environments. Experimental results provide evidence that correlation does exist between motivational profile and environment, in order to get optimal performances of the agent. ...
