Item-phrasing in Antonovsky's sense of coherence scale related to negative and positive affectivity

Swedish upper secondary school pupils’ sense of coherence, coping resources and aggressiveness in relation to educational track and performance

“…Previous research has shown that, for example, positive emotions are an important health predictor (13, 32). This lack of finding is interesting from the viewpoint that SOC has been suggested to possibly be confounded by factors such as positive and negative affect (13, 33, 34). Given our data, however, it seems more likely that active health exercising, i.e.…”

Is sense of coherence a mediator or moderator of relationships between violence at work and stress reactions?

“…Hence, one explanation as to why we found a weaker SOC in targets of violence may be that they are high in NA and that this personality trait partly explains their exposure to violence. In fact, SOC has been found to correlate at least in part with NA (Frenz, Carey & Jorgenson, 1993; Geyer, 1997; Strümpfer, Viviers & Gouws, 1998).…”

The Handbook of Salutogenesis

“…Salutogenic theory is thus useful for 'broad-stroke' approaches to grappling the well-being and health/illness spectra, and as such, it is useful for managing indirect, complex, obscure or unknown factors in health conditions (this complexity typifies the health influences of the physical environment). Because Salutogenic theory has this higher-level validity that makes sense beyond the specific findings of particular experiments and design interventions (Strümpfer et al 1998a;1998b), it provides a basis for informed decision making in the absence of specific knowledge, or whenever circumstances are too complex to suggest easy solutions. Understanding this, Dilani (2006Dilani ( , 2008 quality of new healthcare buildings around the world, and while this is very welcome, industry lacks the nuanced understanding of the theory needed to bespoke and expand the scope of salutogenic interventions.…”
