The study is made up of an analytical cross-section and the mathematical model used to interpret the data was the multiple linear regression method. We worked with a sample of 355 university students. When finding positive factors in the mathematical model, it is concluded that there is a statistically significant and directly proportional influence of EVS and symptoms of depression on AE.
