The Origins of Health and Strength: From ‘Salutogenesis’ to ‘Fortigenesis’
Abstract
It is argued that Antonovsky's concept of ‘salutogenesis’, referring to the origins of health, should be broadened to ‘fortigenesis’, which refers to the origins of psychological strength in general. The argument is based on his own writings. A number of related constructs are referred to in which the metaphor of strength is also inherent. Research on the development of psychological strength through appropriate work experiences, through military and combat experience, and through work force participation in the case of homemakers is reviewed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
