Abstract:

Anorexia Nervosa (AN) is a well-documented but poorly understood psychological disorder. There is controversy over the conceptual clarity and efficacy of therapies for the condition and it continues to have one of the highest mortality rates of all psychiatric disorders. Recent psychological conceptualisations of AN have viewed anorexic behaviour as a coping strategy to deal with underlying general psychopathology. The search for predictors of AN has been a frequent topic in eating disorders research and anorexics have often been identified as perfectionistic and valuing achievement as a means

Abstract:

Adolescence is an important period of development, where health and health behaviours have substantial impact on health and lifestyle in adulthood. Prevalence of mental illness are increasing in this group, where depression account for a substantial part of the cases. Increasing evidence present exercise as an effective treatment for adolescent with mild or moderate depression, but investigations of long-term effects are required. Qualitative studies of adolescents’ experiences of exercise as treatment for depression may lead to a greater understanding of favourable arrangements of future trea

Abstract:

Introduction-Development theories of anorexia nervosa propose that both negative early childhood experiences and perceptions of poor self-efficacy and coping are important factors in the disorders aetiology. This study aimed to assess whether there were any styles of attachment or patterns of perceived self-efficacy and coping (sense of coherence) that are specific to anorexia nervosa. The study also aimed to assess whether there was a relationship between high insecure attachments, weak sense of coherence and high eating disordered belief and behaviours within anorexia nervosa.

Abstract:

<p>The aim of the study was to investigate the sense of coherence among students in Zambia. Sense of coherence was assessed with the questionnaire SOC-29. The respondents were 102 students, aged 15 to 20 years, in three schools in Livingstone. A secondary aim was to examine the relationship between sense of coherence, gender and age. The mean score on SOC-29 was 131 for the Zambian students, which is lower than SOC measured for Swedish adolescents (m=138,5) as well as the Swedish population (m=146). There were no significant correlations between sense of coherence and gender, nor between sense

Abstract:

<p>According to the salutogenic theory put forth by Antonovsky, an individual’s sense of coherence (SOC) is central for maintaining health. The present study used data from middle-aged women being part of a longitudinal research program to investigate how SOC relates to health status (in terms of self-rated health and medicine consumption) and a set of lifestyle factors (physical exercise, alcohol consumption, nicotine consumption and dietary habits). Women with a strong SOC were hypothesized to exhibit better health profiles, consume less medication, and lead a healthier lifestyle than women

Abstract:

This thesis aims to explore how narrative films that are marked by crucial obscurities and explanatory gaps in their development manage to become coherent. More specifically, the thesis is interested in examining how these obscurities and explanatory gaps can be understood as meaningful aspects of the films' organisation. Since the function of coherence in film has rarely been examined directly, the thesis first attempts to illuminate it by drawing on the work of two aestheticians who have examined it more systematically. Thus, the first part of the thesis discusses the work of Victor F. Perki

Abstract:

Background: The construct sense of coherence (SOC) is proposed to explain the variation in the way people cope and it has been linked with positive mental health. Evidence suggests that level of SOC may be able to predict therapeutic outcome. There is a lack of evidence regarding individual predictors for treatment response of guided self-help services. Therefore, SOC is an important construct to consider. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a client’s sense of coherence at the start of a guided self-help intervention could predict their therapeutic outcome. The po

Abstract:

Successful interaction makes sense to its participants – it is, in other words, coherent. As different resources are employed to indicate mutual orientation by showing which actions are linked and where attention is paid, coherent conversation can be said to be achieved multimodally. This thesis builds on an interactional and ecological theoretical basis, and investigates how strategies for sense-making vary depending on the context of interaction. Specifically, this is a study of interaction in different types of multimodal and multiplex communication situations. The characteristics of these

As proposed by Antonovsky (1979; 1987), sense of coherence (SOC) was used as an important individual approach for Salutogenesis; health maintenance.

Head and Neck (H&N) cancers are the eleventh most common cancer worldwide and the fifth most common in Brazil. Despite improvement regarding H&N cancer diagnosis and treatment, the five-year survival rate has changed little for the past decades. Recently, a psychosocial measure called sense of coherence (SOC) has been widely used as a determinant of positive health outcome and successful coping. Despite previous findings of a positive association between SOC levels and survival, no study of H&N cancer survival and SOC levels has been performed. Moreover, the stability of SOC over time is

Abstract:

The dissertation explores the question of the possibility of a moral theory compatible with common sense morality. Common sense morality is limited to its two fundamental features, or suppositions: moral judgements are truth apt and practical, i.e. they are at the same time in some sense objectively right or wrong and necessarily action guiding. In contemporary philosophy, the two fundamental features of common sense morality seem to be incompatible: only descriptions can have truth values, but descriptions are not prescriptions, or, to put it otherwise, from the way the things are, it does no

Abstract:

In South Africa the extraordinary high levels of violence and crime, escalating execution and killings of police officers, large number of murders, hijacking, robberies and shootings have created an unusually dangerous and stressful working environment for the members of the South African Police Services (SAPS). An overview of the literature on the nature of work in the SAPS indicates that these working conditions might have a detrimental effect on the coping resources and sense of coherence of police officers. This study aimed to explore and describe the coping resources and sense of coherenc

Abstract:

Continuous changes in the security systems around the world, along with the increased pressure to perform may result in feelings of distrust, strain in interpersonal relations, psychological strain, fatigue and tension, all affecting the well-being of employees, especially among protection services members. Work wellness becomes an important aspect when focusing on the safety of people to whom the protection services delivers a service, as well as when the focus is on the safety of these members. Burnout and work engagement are specific focus areas in this regard. To measure burnout and work e

Thesis (MComm)--Stellenbosch University, 2014.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The military is a unique working environment that poses several challenges to soldiers. These include numerous ambiguities, psychological stressors, physical demands and resource challenges. In order for the military to be successful, it is important to employ individuals who will be able to thrive in this environment. The theory of work adjustment proposes correspondence between an individual and his or her work environment. The military needs individuals who will fit well into the organisation and enhance its capabilit

This thesis investigated two concepts which have shown promise in accounting for psychological adaptation to spinal cord injury: sense of coherence and posttraumatic growth. Paper one describes a systematic review which investigated the relationships between sense of coherence and physical and mental health outcomes in spinal cord injured individuals. Thirteen studies met criteria for the review. Their findings are summarised and critically appraised. Paper two describes an investigation into predictors of posttraumatic growth following spinal cord injury. Relevant predictors were drawn from t
