“…In a study before the pandemic in Turkey, Yalnizca-Yildirim and Cenkseven-Onder (2022) have shown that SoC significantly correlated with subjective well-being, life satisfaction, and positive affect in a positive direction. Similarly, Oztekin and Tezer (2009) have demonstrated that SoC had a predictive role in positive affect on students from a university in Turkey.…”

Summary Non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) implemented to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic halted everyday life in higher education along with social and psychological impacts. The objective of our study was to explore the factors related to sense of coherence (SoC) from a gender perspective among university students in Turkey. This is a cross-sectional survey conducted online with a convenience sampling method as part of the international COVID-Health Literacy (COVID-HL) Consortium. SoC was measured by a nine-item questionnaire that was adapted to the Turkish language, including socio-demographic information and health status, including psychological well-being, psychosomatic complaints, and future anxiety (FA). 1595 students from four universities, of whom 72% were female, participated in the study. Cronbach’s alpha for the SoC scale was 0.75. Based on the median split of the individual scores, levels of SoC showed no statistically significant difference according to gender. Logistic regression analysis indicated that higher SoC was associated with medium and high subjective social status, studying in private universities, high psychological well-being, low FA, and none/one psychosomatic complaint. While results were similar among female students, type of university and psychological well-being showed no statistically significant association with SoC among males. Our results indicate that structural (subjective social status) and contextual (type of university) factors, along with gender-based variations, are associated with SoC among university students in Turkey.

“…Vilaythong, Arnau, Rosen, and Mascaro (2003) revealed that individuals' levels of hope directly affect both their performance and their psychological health. Also, it was reported in the literature that individuals with high hopes are mentally healthier (Rawdin, Evans & Rabow, 2013) and have a high quality of life (Yalnızca‐Yıldırım & Cenkseven‐Önder, 2022). All these findings show the importance of hope for the mental health of individuals.…”

While the relationships between self‐control, hope, and psychological adjustment have been examined in cross‐sectional studies, the fact that these variables have not been considered together in any longitudinal research creates a gap in the literature. Therefore, our study aimed to investigate the longitudinal relationships between self‐control, hope, and psychological adjustment. Specifically, a cross‐lagged panel study in two waves was conducted to examine whether hope mediated the association between self‐control and psychological adjustment using a Turkish college sample (N = 349). The results revealed that hope had a significant mediation effect in the longitudinal association between self‐control and psychological adjustment. In this direction, self‐control indirectly predicts psychological adjustment through hope. This longitudinal study reveals that having self‐control may have a positive influence on a person's level of hope and that hope may be a significant predictor of individual psychological adjustment.

“…Besides the more pathogenic aspects with which SOC has been related, this construct has been linked to more positive aspects, emerging from Positive Psychology. It has been related, for example, to psychological well-being in a sample of 556 Turkish university students [20], nding a positive relationship between SOC and hope, subjective well-being, life satisfaction and positive affect; a negative and signi cant relationship was also observed between SOC and negative affect, in addition to the important role of hope as a mediator between SOC and subjective well-being. Arya and Lal [21] were interested in the grit construct coined by Duckwroth, et al [22] which encompasses both passion and perseverance in order to achieve long-term goals; in their study involving 250 students, the ndings revealed a positive relationship between grit and wellbeing, with SOC functioning as a mediating variable between both.…”

Background The health promotion strategies are directing their field of action to more profound actions involving personal change. A extensively researched and promising construct is known as Sense of coherence (SOC) which represents the orientation to salutogenic life. Investigations that provide empirical evidence are required to understand the fundamental predictors of salutogenic development. Until now, little attention has been paid in the scientific literature to the role of existential attitudes in the prediction of salutogenic variables. This paper relates the values included in Schwartz's model with gratitude viewed in terms of an existential attitude in this way filling a gap found in the previous literature.Method Correlational analyses between existential gratitude, gratitude as an affective disposition, values and SOC were conducted among 229 participants. In a Path Analysis, the values of Benevolence and Tradition and existential gratitude were chosen as predictors of SOC.Results Existential gratitude obtained significant correlations with all values and its scores were higher than the correlations between dispositional gratitude and values. The results of the Path analysis show good fit indices, indicating that SOC can be predicted by existential gratitude as well as by the values of benevolence and tradition.Conclusions The results are discussed in the light of the possibilities that this study opens up in the field of salutogenesis, based on the approach of the second wave positive psychology (PP2.0) which emphasizes the positive psychology of suffering since it takes into consideration the importance of conceptualizing Gratitude as an Existential attitude.
