- W260842260 abstract "McCubbin, H. L, Thompson, E. A., Thompson, A. L, & Fromer, J. E. (Eds.). (1998). Stress, Coping, and Health in Families: Sense of Coherence and Resiliency. Thousand Oaks: Sage. 313 pages. Paperback ISBN 0-7619-1397-1, price $28.95. This edited volume attempts to link the individual sense of coherence (SOC) construct developed by Aaron Antonovsky and the literature on family stress and resiliency in the context of medical health. The contents are the result of Resiliency in Families conference at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the book was initially published by the university in 1994. Antonovsky's sense of coherence focuses on salutary factors-the resources that help an individual to stay healthy in the face of life challenges. Antonovsky notes that he broke away from the dominant emphasis in his field of medical sociology research on explanations of pathology and pathogenesis to fundamentally different focus on the factors that facilitate movement toward health. In the first two chapters, Antonovsky describes the central ideas in his model; delineates research agenda for the future; and reviews reliability and validity data for the sense of coherence scale, termed the Orientation to Life Questionnaire. The straightforward description of his key ideas (comprehensibility, manageability, and meaningfulness) and their differentiation from other concepts is helpful introduction that prepares readers for further exploration. Individual SOC is assessed on continuum from weak to strong using the three categories. A person with strong sense of comprehensibility believes that events experienced are structured, ordered, and explicable, rather than chaotic or random. A person with strong sense of manageability will not feel victimized by life but will have confidence that resources are available to meet the demands. A person with strong sense of will see demands as challenges, finding meaning in the event that facilitates personal ability to deal effectively with it. It is important to note that the sense of coherence is not substantive; rather, it denotes certain core commonalities of various resistance resources. It is a global orientation that expresses the extent to which one has pervasive, enduring though dynamic feeling of confidence evidenced in comprehensibility, manageability, and meaningfulness (p. 22). A global measure of confidence takes coping to higher level of analysis and frees the model from the specific mechanisms of coping in any group or culture. Antonovsky makes it clear that SOC may be strong for some whose confidence is based on content that is unpalatable (e.g. the principles and behavioral rewards that made Nazism effective in promoting strong SOC). On the other hand, it is the absence of content that facilitates adoption of the model across lines of diversity; different cultures, for example, may promote strong SOC within their worldview. Antonovsky indicates that theoretical and methodological issues must be resolved in order to posit collective SOC. His original conception of SOC was individualistic; SOC exists within person. …" @default.
