The sense of coherence is critical for adolescents’ flourishing. However, little is known about the role of hope and resilience in this relationship. The present study aimed both to develop the Sense of Coherence Scale for Adolescents and to reveal the role of hope and resilience between sense of coherence and flourishing. While in Study I, exploratory factor analysis was performed (N = 332, Mage = 14.85, SD = 1.09), in Study II, confirmatory factor analysis validated the three-factor and one-factor structure of the scale and the measurement invariance of the gender group was found (N = 489, Mage = 14.92, SD = 1.16). Study II also included the use of different reliability coefficients to verify reliability, as well as the exploration of the connections of the items by network analysis. In Study III (N = 395, Mage = 15.47, SD = 1.43), sense of coherence was positively related to hope, resilience, and flourishing. Moreover, the mediating roles of hope and resilience in the relationship between sense of coherence and flourishing were explored. This study demonstrated the initial validity and reliability of the Sense of Coherence Scale for Adolescents. These findings contribute to elucidating the mechanisms between sense of coherence and flourishing. In conclusion, the sense of coherence contributes to adolescents’ flourishing through hope and resilience.
