• The Meanings of Salutogenesis (2017, background): “The result, his book Unraveling the Mystery of Health (Antonovsky, 1987), focused a great deal of his attention on the sense of coherence and its role as an independent variable in health research (Eriksson and Lindström, 2006; Eriksson and Lindström, 2007).”
• Work stressors, health and sense of coherence in UK academic employees (2008, background): “SOC is generally considered to function in two ways: (a) people with a stronger SOC experience better health than those with a weaker SOC (main effect); and (b) SOC buffers the negative impact of stressors on health (moderator effect) (Eriksson & Lindstrom, 2006 ).”
• Spirituality and Resilience in Trauma Victims (2007, background): “People with high SOC seem to be more resilient under stress ( Eriksson & Lindstrom, 2006 ).”
• A changed perspective: How gratitude can affect sense of coherence through positive reframing (2009, background): “Sense of coherence is associated with a host of positive life outcomes, including good mental health (e.g., Lundberg & Peck, 1994) and good physical health (e.g., Jorgensen, Frankowski, & Carey, 1999; for a recent review see Eriksson & Lindstrom, 2006).”
• Benefits of choral singing for social and mental wellbeing: qualitative findings from a cross‐national survey of choir members (2012, methodology): “Measures of SOChave shown a reliable relationshipwithmeasures of health, particularly mental health (Eriksson and Lindstrom, 2006).”
• Employment, Sense of Coherence, and Identity Formation (2008, background): “SOC represents a protective factor and a component of resilience in daily life, as well as a dimension of positive psychosocial health and development (Breslin, Hepburn, Ibrahim, & Cole, 2006; Eriksson & Lindström, 2005; Geyer, 1997), which may impact on subjective sense of adulthood.”
• Comprehensibility, manageability and meaningfulness at work: Construct validity of a scale measuring work-related sense of coherence (2013, background): “It has been consistently found that individuals with a strong SoC are healthier than those with a weak SoC (Eriksson & Lindström, 2006), making this an interesting concept for those concerned with health and its promotion.”
