This is the first large epidemiological study of the Sense of Coherence concept carried out in a non-western culture. One adult from each of 456 families living in northern Thailand filled in the Sense of Coherence scale (SOC) and checklists measuring anxiety, depression and self-esteem. The mean value for SOC was comparable with western studies. High SOC was related to high self-esteem and low distress scores in the parents. The same associations were found between parental SOC and the perceived competence and behaviour problems of the children. High SOC acted as a protective factor in high socio-economic stress situations.
这是在非西方文化中开展的第一项关于连贯感概念的大型流行病学研究。居住在泰国北部的456个家庭中的每位成年人填写了连贯感量表（SOC）以及测量焦虑、抑郁和自尊的清单。SOC的平均值与西方研究相当。高SOC与父母的高自尊和低痛苦得分相关。在父母的SOC与孩子的感知能力和行为问题之间也发现了同样的关联。在高社会经济压力情况下，高SOC起到了保护因素的作用。
