Abstract

Sense of Coherence (SOC) is a specific measure of perception of coping ability which is examined here in relation to demographic characteristics and measures of physical and mental health status of older veterans (N = 240). Results suggest that the SOC is strongly correlated with measures of subjective health status. It does not uniquely contribute to that dimension but does exhibit appropriate psychometric properties to encourage its use in further research.
