Frequently Asked Questions
What does this questionnaire measure?
It assesses a general orientation toward life as understandable, manageable, and meaningful. These three components are combined into an overall score.
How long does it take to complete and how many items are included?
Completion typically takes about 6 minutes. The form contains 29 items.
What are the three component areas assessed?
Comprehensibility reflects how predictable and coherent events seem. Manageability reflects perceived access to resources, and meaningfulness reflects personal value and engagement.
How should responses be selected?
Select the option that best describes typical experience rather than a single recent event. Use the full range of response options when appropriate.
How are results scored and are any items excluded?
Scores are calculated for each component and for the total scale by summing item responses after applying the standard scoring rules. In the Russian adaptation, items 10 and 17 are excluded from scoring due to poor fit with the scale.
WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC) Test - Symptoms and Signs
This self-report instrument assesses an individual’s global orientation to life in terms of comprehensibility, manageability, and meaningfulness. The Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC), developed by Aaron Antonovsky, is used to characterize perceived capacity to understand and cope with everyday stressors.
The measure consists of 29 items and typically takes about 6 minutes to complete. Responses are summed to yield a total score, with interpretation focused on overall sense of coherence and its component domains. The Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC) is commonly used in research and clinical contexts as a descriptive indicator of coping orientation rather than a stand-alone diagnostic tool.
