“…Some studies confirmed the one factor solution proposed by Antonofski [30,31], while others, similar to our findings, failed to support the one factor solution [32,33]. A two [34], three [35] and five [36] factor solutions have been also proposed, but failed to actually support the theoretical construction principles which suggest three sub-dimensions, namely manageability, meaningfulness and comprehensibility. Our findings and the results of previous studies indicate that it would be rather preferable to use the SOC scale as a measure of the whole, not examining the three subscales separately, which was also Antonovsky's intention [3].…”

Background: Sense of coherence (SOC) is defined as a global orientation based on a person's confidence that stimuli are structured and predictable, the resources needed to meet these demands are available, and these demands are seen as challenges, worthy of investment, and engagement. The SOC scale is an instrument measuring how people manage stressful situations and stay well. We aimed to assess the psychometric properties of its Greek version in two samples, people with and without long-term conditions (LTCs). Associations between sense of coherence and mental illness, suicidality, and quality of life were also investigated.

This study investigates changes in latent mental structures along the anaclitic and introjective dimensions in relation to outcomes in 14 cases of publicly financed psychoanalysis. The method of prototype matching was adapted for personality assessment, and multiple outcome measures were applied. For the anaclitic cases, symptom reduction was accompanied by more mature integration of anaclitic and introjective personality dimensions, while the introjective cases showed symptom reduction without such improvement. This could indicate that sustainable change in latent mental structures is more difficult to achieve in introjective than in anaclitic patients. Further research is needed to validate these preliminary results.

“…Figure 12.3 shows the sense of coherence as a multidimensional construct. Sandell et al (1998) examined the sense of coherence instrument among a sample of Swedes and could not find support for a common factor, nor the three dimensions of comprehensibility, manageability, and meaningfulness. Three more or less stable dimensions emerged, where lust and depression were two extremes which could best be referred to the dimension of meaningfulness.…”
