The Mood Rating Scale (EVEA) and the Coping Strategies Inventory (CSI) were administered to 280 university students, aged 18 to 29 years. The results showed a positive correlation between the variables studied; in the majority of the population, the mood they presented was cheerfulness, and the coping strategies used included desiderative thinking, problem solving, social withdrawal and self-criticism.
