“…Several studies have focused on quantitatively assessing the correlations between SOC and various health behaviours (Humphrey & McDowell, 2013) and health outcomes such as emotional health (Moksnes, Espnes, & Lillefjell, 2012) and mental health (Lekkou, Åström, & Hägglöf, 2007). In addition, researchers have begun to study how SOC develops in childhood and early adulthood (García-Moya, Moreno, & Jiménez-Iglesias, 2013;Marsh, Clinkinbeard, Thomas, & Evans, 2007). However, further research is necessary to examine the factors that contribute to the development of SOC, the role of various developmental contexts in building up SOC (García-Moya et al, 2013) and the possibilities for strengthening SOC explicitly, for example in sport-for-development settings (Super, Wagemakers, Picavet, Verkooijen, & Koelen, 2015).…”

Sport is widely recognised as having the potential to enhance the personal development of socially vulnerable youth, yet there is very limited knowledge on how community sports coaches can create optimal social conditions for life skill development and transferability. We adopt a salutogenic approach in order to study whether and how community sports coaches create these optimal social conditions. Based on the salutogenic framework, a thematic analysis was conducted of 15 indepth interviews with community sports coaches providing sports lessons to socially vulnerable youth. As part of the interviews, the sports coaches were presented with several training scenarios and asked how they would respond in specific training situations. The results showed that the sports coaches aimed to create meaningful sporting experiences for youths. These meaningful sporting experiences were considered a precondition for keeping youths engaged in the sporting activities, as well as a precondition for life skill development. The sports coaches specifically focused on creating little moments of success and on making sure that the youths felt they belonged to a group. In order to ensure that the youths could experience moments of success, specific coaching strategies were implemented to increase the youths' comprehensibility and manageability in specific sport situations. According to the sports coaches, experiencing little moments of success could contribute to an increase in socially vulnerable youths' understanding of the everyday challenges that they face, as well as contribute to their ability to deal with these challenges. Creating meaningful sporting experiences may help youths 'to learn to cope' -a skill that could be beneficial over their lifespan and in different societal domains. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…La no existencia de diferencias de género en el SOC es un hallazgo coincidente con otras investigaciones realizadas en adolescentes de edades similares (Marsh et al, 2007;Sollerhed et al, 2005). Aunque la investigación aún no es concluyente sobre la influencia del género en el SOC durante la adolescencia, este resultado podría ser indicativo de que el SOC es una disposición global en la que la influencia del género puede verse minimizada al existir múltiples experiencias en los distintos contextos de desarrollo, así como numerosas variables personales que están incidiendo en su desarrollo durante la adolescencia.…”

“…En cuanto al papel de la familia en el desarrollo de un fuerte SOC, existen trabajos que han encontrado que relaciones de confianza con al menos uno de los progenitores y una comunicación abierta en el seno de la familia (Cederblad, Dahlin, Hagnell y Hansson, 1994), la existencia de un clima de cercanía en las relaciones entre sus miembros (Olsson, Hansson, Lundblad y Cederblad, 2006) y la ausencia de conflictos familiares (Marsh, Clinkinbeard, Thomas y Evans, 2007) tienen efectos positivos en el desarrollo del SOC de los adolescentes.…”

Resumen: El sentido de coherencia (sense of coherence, SOC) es un constructo novedoso en Psicología, pero emparentado con otros que nos son más cercanos (como el de resiliencia); la adolescencia parece ser un momento evolutivo especialmente indicado para explorarlo. Este trabajo, además de realizar un análisis descriptivo del SOC en adolescentes españoles y de su relación con indicadores de salud positiva, se interesó de manera específica en estudiar el papel de las relaciones entre los progenitores como elemento influyente en el desarrollo del SOC en la adolescencia. La muestra estuvo formada por 7580 adolescentes escolarizados de entre 13 y 18 años, que participaron en la edición 2010 del estudio Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) en España. Los resultados muestran que la calidad de las relaciones entre los progenitores tiene una influencia significativa en el desarrollo del SOC de sus hijos y que dicha influencia se debe en cierta medida a su importancia en la creación de un clima familiar satisfactorio para los adolescentes. En concreto, se encontró un efecto de mediación parcial de la variable satisfacción con las relaciones familiares en la relación entre la percepción de la calidad de la relación entre los padres y el SOC de los adolescentes. Palabras clave: Sentido de coherencia; adolescencia; familia; relaciones conyugales; satisfacción familiar.Title: Quality of the relationship between parents and sense of coherence in their adolescent children. The mediation effect of family satisfaction. Abstract: The sense of coherence (SOC) is a new construct in Psychology, but related to others that we are more familiar with (as resilience). Adolescence seems to be a particularly suitable developmental stage to explore it. This work, apart from conducting descriptive analysis of SOC and studying its relationship with positive health indicators in Spanish adolescents, was specifically interested in examining the role of marital relationships as influent elements in SOC's development during adolescence. Sample consisted of 7,580 adolescents between the ages of 13 and 18, who had taken part in the 2010 edition of the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children study in Spain. Results showed that the quality of marital relationships had a significant influence on the adolescent children's SOC and that this influence could partially be attributed to their importance in the development of a positive family climate for adolescents. Specifically, satisfaction with family relationships acted as a partial mediator in the relationship between the perception of the quality of marital relationships and adolescents' SOC.

“…Relationships with parents (Feldt et al, 2005;García-Moya et al, 2012), support from teachers and classmates (García-Moya et al, 2013d;Natvig et al, 2006), behavioural models in the peer group (García-Moya et al, 2013b) and neighbourhood quality (García-Moya et al, 2013a;Marsh et al,2007) have all been identified as potential precursors of SOC during adolescence.…”

“…With some notable exceptions (García-Moya et al, 2013b;Marsh et al, 2007), that have started the journey to understand more about the sources of SOC. In this respect, Antonovsky (1996, p. 16) claimed that the following question should be at the core of health promotion programs: "What can be done in this 'community'-factory, geographic community, age or ethnic or gender group, chronic or even acute hospital population, those who suffer from a particular disability, etc.-to strengthen the sense of comprehensibility, manageability and meaningfulness of the persons who constitute it?".…”

Twenty years has passed since the publication of the seminal paper 'The salutogenic model as a theory to guide health promotion ' (Antonovsky, 1996), in which Antonovsky proposed salutogenesis and its central construct sense of coherence (SOC) as a way of boosting the theoretical basis for health promotion activities. Since then there has been a notable amount of conceptual and empirical work carried out to further explore its significance. The aim of this paper is to critically assess the current theoretical status of salutogenesis and its utility to advance effective health promotion practice for young people. The assessment was carried out in the context of contemporary international policy agendas on wellbeing. An analytic framework was developed using previous literature on the definition and function of theory. This organizing framework comprised four criteria: description, explanation, prediction and measurability. The paper concludes with a perspective on the status of salutogenesis as a theory and how it can be further developed. Specifically, the critical assessment highlighted that salutogenesis has been subjected to considerable empirical testing over the last few decades resulting in convincing evidence of the relevance and subsequent advancement of the idea.However, less emphasis seems to have been placed on a systematic process of testing and iteration to develop its theoretical basis. The paper identifies a number of aspects that should be developed to support the progression of salutogenesis to the next level. A research-practice cycle approach is proposed that can facilitate that important next step.
