The results were that 75% of the participants were female, the mostprevalent academic averages were 4.0 to 4.5, although 14% of the population was evidenced with an average of 3.0 - 3.5. High resilience prevailed with 61%, and the symptoms of psychoticism, obsessions and compulsions, interpersonal sensitivity, phobic anxiety and depression were those that obtained the highest scores in terms of risk status in the population.
