The Orientation to Life Questionnaire (SOC-29) for the measurement of the sense of coherence, the key construct of a popular theory by Antonovsky, has no univocally established construct validity. The aim of the study was to explore differential and convergent aspects of its construct validity. An attempt was made to determine the relationships between the SOC-29 Questionnaire on the one hand and, on the other hand, measures of optimism, generalized self-efficacy, trait anxiety, neuroticism, and depression. The results indicate that one common factor explains a significant proportion of variance of all the instruments studied, which suggests that they are indicators of the same higher-order construct. A particularly strong relationship was found between SOC and both trait anxiety and neuroticism, so redundancy of these three measures seems to be highly probable. Since 26% unique variance of the sense of coherence was noted, further research is needed to establish discriminative validity of the instrument (at present rather doubtful).

The aim of the study was to check whether sense of coherence (SOC) can be altered in psychotherapy, and if so, whether the changes are stable and related to the baseline SOC level. Participants were 101 alcohol dependent patients (ALC) entering a 6-week alcohol treatment program at the Dependence Treatment Center, IPiN in Warsaw, and 54 neurotic patients (NEU) hospitalized for 10 weeks at the Psychiatric Clinic, Medical Academy in Lublin. They were examined thrice using Antonovsky's Orientation to Life (SOC-29) questionnaire: pre- and post-treatment, and by mail at a 6-month (NEU) or 12-month (ALC) follow-up. GLM with Repeated Measures with baseline weak (wSOC) or strong SOC (sSOC) as between-subject factor, and MDC analysis were used. A highly significant and stable enhancement of SOC was found after treatment in wSOC patients in both groups, ALC (in 58% of patients) and NEU (in 23%). In sSOC patients there was a ceiling effect (a mild, but significant and stable SOC increase) in the ALC group, while in NEU group the SOC level decreased (only 7% of patients indicated a stable real increase).

Studied effect of the implicit theory (in terms of C. Dweck's entity theory and incremental theory) on the way and characteristics of coping in demanding situation in students. Effective coping is represented by coherence (SOC - Sense of Coherence, Antonovsky) and followed were also the characteristics of self-mastery and anxiety. Gender-induced differences in preference of implicit theories were not confirmed. A more effective coping (a higher level of SOC) were found in subjects preferring incremental theory, as also a higher anxiety level, particularly in women with preference for the entity theory of intelligence.

This study focuses on selected characteristics of counterfactual thinking related to effectiveness of coping (represented by sense of coherence SOC and self-efficacy GSES) and proactive coping. The authors focus on anxiety among personality characteristics related to the proactive coping and counterfactual thinking. The results show a higher level of proactive and preventive coping, as well as higher SOC and GSES, related to positive opinion of the helpfulness of counterfactual thinking in solving possible future problems and to lower anxiety.
