Abstract

This chapter reviews and integrates conceptual and empirical research focusing on the role of Generalized Resistance Resources (GRRs) within the Salutogenic model. In particular, this chapter discusses findings regarding the conceptual and empirical progress seen in the study of GRRs at the individual, family, and community ecological levels in understanding individual differences in sense of coherence (SOC). First, the present chapter briefly describes the theoretical assumptions and findings regarding the concepts of the GRRs and the GRDs (Generalized Resistance Deficits). Next, this chapter presents an overview of findings regarding the empirical progress seen in the study of GRRs at the individual, family, and community ecological levels. We end with suggestions for future research directions and interventional implications.
