In Antonovsky's theory of salutogenesis, this coping capacity is defined as comprising a sense of coherence (SOC): a global orientation that expresses the extent to which one has a "pervasive, enduring though dynamic feeling of confidence", a feeling which derives from experiencing one's situation as meaningful, understandable and manageable [ 15].
SOC is defined as a global orientation that expresses the extent to which an individual has a pervasive, enduring, though dynamic feeling of confidence that life is comprehensible, manageable and meaningful [ 27].
SOC is defined as "global orientation that expresses the extent to which one has a pervasive, enduring though dynamic feeling of confidence" [[ 8], p. 19].
The SOC is defined as: "The extent to which one has a pervasive, enduring though dynamic, feeling of confidence that one's environment is predictable and that things will work out as well as can reasonably be expected".
SOC is defined as 'a global orientation that expresses the extent to which one has a pervasive, enduring and dynamic feeling of confidence; that one's internal and external environments are predictable and that there is a high probability that things will work out as well as can be reasonably expected' [ 8].
The SOC is based on three components which are considered prerequisites for salutogenesis: comprehensibility, meaningfulness and manageability. 1) According to Antonovsky, these three factors determine to what extent a person can rely an existing, enduring but also dynamic feeling of trust, which gives structure to the course of internal as well as external events and makes them understandable.
Still, regarding this respect, Menezes e Lopes (2014) found ambiguous reports on fear of death, showing that old people, who are closer to death, bring a dynamic of feeling that, within the same person, oscillate constantly between fear and resignation.
This dynamic feeling gets you turned on".
