Stability of the sense of coherence in adolescence

International Journal of Adolescent Medicine and Health, 2008
The aim of this prospective study was to explore the stability of sense of coherence (SOC) in adolescents from the age of 15 to 18 years.A prospective population-based follow-up study of 1294 first-born children was started in 1986. When the children were 15 (N = 846) and 18 (N = 792) years old, SOC was measured using questionnaires filled out at home ...

Trait Anxiety and the Sense of Coherence

Psychological Reports, 1987
Two different theoretical approaches to the explanation of individual differences in appraisal of environmental demands are expressed by the trait-anxiety (A-trait) scale of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (4) and by Antonovsky's (2) measure of the sense of coherence.

Sense of Coherence Relates with Smoking

Journal of Health Psychology, 2008
The present study investigated the relationship between sense of coherence (SOC) and smoking. This study is a sub-study of the Anglo-Scandinavian Cardiac Outcomes Trial. SOC was assessed with a short form self-report questionnaire at baseline and at two-year follow-up. Smoking behaviour was self-reported at both dates.

Sense of coherence and health behaviour in adolescence

Acta Paediatrica, 2011
AbstractAim:  To explore associations of Sense of coherence (SOC) with health behaviour and social competence among 15‐year‐old adolescents.Methods:  Study population is a prospective cohort of a randomized cluster sample of families and their first‐born children from south‐western Finland in 1986–1987.

Compressive coherence sensing

Frontiers in Optics 2009/Laser Science XXV/Fall 2009 OSA Optics & Photonics Technical Digest, 2009
The 4-D cross spectral density function is recovered using 2-D rotational shear interferometer measurements and a matrix completion algorithm for low rank matrices. Imaging of point sources through turbulence is demonstrated.

Properties of coherence-gated wavefront sensing

Journal of the Optical Society of America A, 2007
Coherence-gated wavefront sensing (CGWS) allows the determination of wavefront aberrations in strongly scattering tissue and their correction by adaptive optics. This allows, e.g., the restoration of the diffraction limit in light microscopy. Here, we develop a model, based on ray tracing of ballistic light scattered from a set of discrete scatterers ...

Stress, Social Support, and Sense of Coherence

Western Journal of Nursing Research, 1999
In the Salutogenic Model, Aaron Antonovsky suggested that a sense of coherence (SOC) is the key determinant in the maintenance of health. He theorized that individuals with a strong SOC have the ability to (a) define life events as less stressful (comprehensibility), (b) mobilize resources to deal with encountered stressors (manageability), and (c ...

Major Depression: A Breakdown in Sense of Coherence?

Psychological Reports, 1997
The relationship between major depression and the salutogenic construct of sense of coherence was investigated. The Sense of Coherence scale and the Beck Depression Inventory were administered to 50 patients diagnosed with major depressive disorder and to 50 control subjects. Significant negative correlations were found between scores on Depression and

Family sense of coherence and quality of life

Quality of Life Research, 2012
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between family sense of coherence, social support, stress, quality of life and depressive symptoms among Chinese pregnant women.A cross-sectional design was used. A convenience sample of 267 Chinese pregnant women was recruited at the antenatal clinic and completed the Family Sense of Coherence

Variable Coherence Sensing

Frontiers in Optics 2007/Laser Science XXIII/Organic Materials and Devices for Displays and Energy Conversion, 2007
Manipulating the statistical properties of the radiation provides means for developing robust sensing approaches. Controlling the coherence properties of light offers new possibilities for solving inverse problems and allows stochastic sensing with subwavelength resolution. Article not available.
