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.

这项三波研究通过使用具有遗传信息的随机截距交叉滞后面板模型，检查了整个青春期的生活事件与连贯感 (SOC) 之间的关系。我们还检查了遗传和环境对测量构造中方差的贡献。数据来自挪威基于人口的双胞胎样本（N = 2,878)。生活事件和 SOC 是相关的，并且都表现出显着的遗传变异。从负向依赖生命事件到 SOC、从 SOC 到负向依赖生命事件以及从 SOC 到正向依赖生命事件，观察到负纵向效应。然而，这些纵向影响的幅度可以忽略不计。总之，所有三组生活事件与 SOC 之间的关联几乎完全由共同的遗传影响来解释。
