The study included 236 university students from six disciplines of the Institute of Health Sciences at the Autonomous University of the State of Hidalgo, Mexico. The sample was selected based on a stratified probability sampling (J. García-García, G. García-García, Arnaud-Viñas, González-Martínez, Arámbula-Morales, y Mendoza-Guerrero, 2009). The quantitative study is design transectional. The instrument was administered TMMS-24. The results obtained in the multivariate analysis of variance, reported no statistically significant data by combining together the variables (disciplines, sex and level of schooling path) to the three dimensions of the instrument (attention, clarity and repair), differences were observed only within each variable with respect to size, these are presented in order to observe the behavior of perceived emotional skills in the sample of college students, as a reference for future research.
