The present paper investigates possible gender and age differences on emotional states (state depression and state anxiety) and sense of coherence (SOC) as well as the association between SOC and emotional states. The cross-sectional sectional sample consists of 1209 adolescents 13-18 years from public elementary and secondary schools in Mid-Norway. The results showed that girls reported higher scores on state anxiety and state depression, whereas boys consistently scored higher on SOC in all age groups. SOC was inversely associated with both state depression and state anxiety. An interaction effect of gender by SOC was found on both state depression and state anxiety, where the association was stronger for girls than for boys.
The associations found give support for the implications of salutogenic factors in relation to emotional health in adolescents.
本研究旨在调查情绪状态（抑郁状态和焦虑状态）和心理一致感（SOC）方面可能存在的性别和年龄差异，以及 SOC 与情绪状态之间的关系。该横断面研究的样本包括来自挪威中北部公立小学和中学的 1209 名 13-18 岁青少年。结果表明，女孩在焦虑状态和抑郁状态得分较高，而男孩在所有年龄组的 SOC 得分均较高。SOC 与抑郁状态和焦虑状态呈负相关。SOC 对抑郁状态和焦虑状态的性别交互效应，女孩的关联强度强于男孩。
研究结果支持了在青少年的情绪健康中，促进因素的影响。
