The approach is quantitative, the hypotheti- cal deductive method, explanatory level and non-experimen- tal design, the sample of 386 university students calculated through simple random probability sampling. The instruments were standardized coping styles and social problem solving questionnaires with validity and reliability of 0.909 and 0.920 by Cronbach’s Alpha, respectively. The descriptive results ori- ented through the crossed tables and the inferential ones with the statistic asymptotic free distribution due to the fact that the data correspond to a normal distribution, also the adjust- ment indices were carried out to elaborate the model, normed adjustment index 0.977, index of Comparative fit 0.994 and adjusted goodness of fit index 0.917 greater than the accept- able limit, therefore the structural model established in the research is acceptable and shows that the predominant style that influences the resolution of social problems is problem- centered skills.
