Dutch Sense of Coherence Questionnaire for children

Available in Dutch; 13 items

Antonovsky (1979) defined sense of coherence as: "The extent to which one has a pervasive, enduring though dynamic, feeling of confidence that one's environment is predictable and that things will work out as well as can reasonably be expected". The Dutch version of the Sense of Coherence Questionnaire for children consists of 13 items on a five point scale from (almost) never to (almost) always.
