Abstract
This three-wave study examined the relationship between life events and sense of coherence (SOC) throughout adolescence by using genetically informative random intercept cross-lagged panel models. We also examined the genetic and environmental contribution to variance in the measured constructs. The data come from a Norwegian population-based twin sample (N = 2,878). Life events and SOC were associated, and both showed substantial genetic variance. Negative longitudinal effects were observed from negative dependent life events to SOC, from SOC to negative dependent life events and from SOC to positive dependent life events. However, these longitudinal effects were negligible in magnitude. In summary, the associations between all three clusters of life events and SOC were almost completely accounted for by shared genetic influences.
