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.
