Abstract
The possible relationship between coping, depression with constructive thinking and non-constructive thinking is investigated in 329 university students from four of the UNAM multidisciplinary campuses. The entire sample answered the constructive thinking questionnaire for university students, 184 answered the adolescent coping scale (ACS) and 145 answered the Beck depression inventory. The results show relationships between constructive thinking and coping strategies aimed at solving problems, in addition to the fact that constructive thinking is associated with low depression scores. Based on this information, there is evidence of the incidence of constructive thinking with depression and with positive coping strategies.
