The results showed high BS, satisfaction with life and affection; the most used EA by the students were focused on conflict resolution and search for rewards. Pearson correlation reflected a significant correlation between the two research variables; positive reevaluation (0,267**), guide search (0,178**),troubleshooting (0,234**) and reward research (0,249**) are highly correlational with the BS. It is concluded that the students of the Santo Tomas University have a high level of BS and greater use of EA oriented to the resolution of conflicts with a strategy focused on emotion (Rewards search), in terms of sex differences it is concluded that in men, strategies oriented problem solving predominate and have a higher BS, while in women there is a greater use of EA oriented to the emotion and a higher level of satisfaction with life is reported on the other hand, a higher BS is reported in the age group with the greatest age of 24-30 years old, while in the group 18-23 years greater satisfaction with life is reported, in both age groups the use of emotion oriented strategies predominates, however, the age group 24-30 years of age reported greater use of the search for rewards strategy, so it was concluded that the use of this strategy directly influences the BS.
