The neighbourhood has traditionally been neglected in studies about adolescents' sense of coherence (SOC). The current study represents the first attempt to analyse the associations between neighbourhood assets, neighbourhood risks, and SOC during adolescence. The sample consisted of 7,580 Spanish adolescents aged 13-18 who were selected for the 2009/10 edition of the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) survey in Spain. The adolescents completed self-report questionnaires that included the SOC-29 scale and separate HBSC scales measuring neighbourhood risks and assets. The results showed that neighbourhood risks were negatively associated with the adolescents' SOC. In contrast, neighbourhood assets, especially relationships with significant adults, were positively associated with the adolescents' SOC. Assets explained 6.5% of the variability in SOC scores after controlling for risks, suggesting that assets may play a significant role, even in neighbourhoods where risks are present. We discuss implications and future research directions.
在关于青少年连贯感（SOC）的研究中，邻里社区传统上一直被忽视。当前的研究首次尝试分析青少年时期邻里资产、邻里风险与连贯感之间的关联。样本包括7580名年龄在13至18岁之间的西班牙青少年，他们是从2009/10版西班牙学龄儿童健康行为（HBSC）调查中选取的。这些青少年完成了自我报告问卷，其中包括SOC - 29量表以及测量邻里风险和资产的单独的HBSC量表。结果显示，邻里风险与青少年的连贯感呈负相关。相比之下，邻里资产，尤其是与重要成年人的关系，与青少年的连贯感呈正相关。在控制风险后，资产解释了连贯感得分中6.5%的变异性，这表明即使在存在风险的邻里社区中，资产也可能发挥重要作用。我们讨论了研究的意义和未来的研究方向。
