摘要：The objective of the article is to answer the question of whether the level of the sense of coherence is linked with stress-coping styles in the group of subjects. It was assumed that in the group of maladjusted youth the sense of coherence would positively correlate with stress-coping strategies based on problem-solving and looking for social contacts, and negatively with strategies based on the display of emotions. The research used the Life Orientation Questionnaire (SOC-29) and the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS) Questionnaire. In the group of maladjusted youth, correlation coefficients indicate a moderate, positive relationship of the sense of coherence and its three components: the sense of comprehensibility, the sense of manageability, and the sense of meaningfulness with a task-oriented style. There was also a positive correlation between the general sense of coherence and looking for social contacts. Statistically significant correlation coefficients were also obtained between the emotion-focused style and the general sense of coherence and its three components.
