Abstract

Mental health being a state of well-being in people to cope emotionally and physically with everyday life, in adolescents it is affected by different symptomatologies such as anxiety and depression. For this reason, the general objective of this research is to establish the relationship between anxious and depressive symptomatology in first semester psychology students of the University of Pamplona, taking as a sample 21 students between 16 and 19 years old. A correlational study with a quantitative approach was carried out, using Pearson's correlation, in order to identify the relationship between anxious and depressive symptomatology in first semester psychology students, through the use of the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II). A high positive correlation of almost +1 was found in the variable of anxious and depressive symptomatology. Likewise, it was found that both the female and male sexes presented high scores in relation to the two symptomatology variables. Therefore, the results suggest the application of strategies that allow the promotion of mental health in adolescents, in addition to continuing with the development and expansion of this research.
