“…Yet a study on elderly persons who anticipated relocation to congregate living facilities found that sense of coherence was a moderator for immune functioning in those anticipating a move. Sense of coherence was positively associated with immune functioning in the moving but not in the non-moving group (Lutgendorf, Vitaliano, Tripp-Reimer, Harvey, & Lubaroff, 1999); an indication that sense of coherence might only have a protective effect in situations with high stress.…”

“…In other studies, SOC is understood as a coping strategy or a dependent variable (Grøholt, Stigum, Nordhagen, & Kö hler, 2003;Oelofsen & Richardson, 2006). Some researchers, however, regard SOC as a mediator (Lutgendorf, Vitaliano, Tripp-Reimer, Harvey, & Lubaroff, 1999). SOC is in this study regarded as a global orientation to life, as a parent coping resource with a direct effect on stress.…”

This study examined the effects of child characteristics and parent coping practices on parenting stress, based on a sample of parents of 64 boys with behavioural problems and a comparison group with parents of 128 boys. All parents completed questionnaires about stress, length of education, child characteristics, social support, sense of coherence and coping practices, in addition to interviews in their home about daily activities and relations with the child. A hierarchical regression model for predicting parenting stress was tested, and the results showed that having a child with behavioural problems predicted 57% of the variance in parenting stress. Social support and parental resources and strategies added to the prediction of parenting stress after controlling for family demographics and child characteristics. The parents in the clinical group (with boys referred to psychiatric units) were more often single parents with lower education, more often unemployed, less content with social support, and had lower scores on comprehensibility. These parents were significantly more stressed than parents in the comparison group. All these risk factors might be barriers against establishing a protective frame around a child. These parents, with a difficult child-rearing situation, who perceived less support and had fewer material benefits, seemed to be more vulnerable.

“…The construct can be thought of as a broad measure of resiliency, with higher levels of SOC linked to positive health-related outcomes in various studies among diverse samples (e.g. Fiorentino, 1986;Lutgendorf, Vitaliano, Tripp-Reimer, Harvey, & Lubaroff, 1999).…”

Sense of coherence (SOC) is a dispositional trait that has been linked to well-being in a broad range of populations and contexts. Little is known, however, about the factors associated with SOC development and maintenance across the lifespan. Conceptualized as a condition of resiliency, SOC in adolescents was explored via measures of risk and protection as reported on by 8th and 10th grade students (N ¼ 1619). Employing cumulative indexes of protection and risk, analyses focused on testing four models of resiliency. Further, the relative and cumulative effects of protection and risk were explored across ecological domains. Analyses revealed support for the compensatory model of resiliency for males and females, while the challenge model also was supported for females. Analyses also revealed that protection and risk influencing SOC emerge at multiple domains for males and females. In addition, protective factors present at multiple domains were related to higher SOC while risk factors present at multiple domains were related to lower SOC regardless of gender. Results suggest a resiliency framework that considers multiple ecological domains is useful for understanding SOC in adolescents. Implications for additional research are presented.
