Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. Dept. of Psychology. Mental illness -- Diagnosis Depression, Mental Depressed persons Dissertations -- Psychology Thesis (M.A.) -- University of Stellenbosch, 1995. This study investigates the relationship between depression and the salutogenic construct of Sense of Coherence (SOC). Antonovsky developed and refined the salutogenic model of health that views health as a continual concept rather than a dichotomy of health illness. The central concept of salutogenesis, SOC, refers to a global orientation of life that expresses the extent to which the world is perceived as predictable, manageable and meaningful. The further emphasis is on subjective interpretation of health. The development and refinement of the salutogenic model traced in literature and similarities in meaning construction between the low-SOC person and the depressed person were pointed out. Striking similarities were found in terms of loss of self-esteem, lack of active engagement, attributional styles and the role of the interpersonal context in the etiology and maintenance of low SOC and depression.
