    Abstract

    The aim of the present article is to define the relationship between the level of the sense of coherence and the ways of coping with stress at a higher theological seminary. In order to validate the presented hypotheses, two questionnaires were used: the Questionnaire of the Sense of Coherence (SOC-29) of Antonovski and the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS) of Endler and Parker. The research was conducted among a group of 43 seminarists and 43 university students. The analysis concentrated on the links between the sense of coherence and the ways of coping with stress. With respect to the sense of being understood, resourcefulness and a general feeling of sense, the results were significantly higher among the seminarists than among the students from the control group. It has also been shown that seminarists were significantly less likely than the control group to deal with stress by concentrating on emotions or resorting to avoidance strategies.
