The study involved 411 university students, 30.2% men and 69.8% women with internal mobility in the 17-38 age group ( = 20.5); enrolled in two academic faculties of the University of Cuenca (Medical Sciences and Economic and Administrative Sciences) during the academic period September 2019 to February 2020. Data processing used the SPSS statistical program and Microsoft Excel 2013. Analysis of the results indicates that the majority of students have a low HHSS level, in addition it is evidenced that there is a domain of the factor IV of the scale (EHS) which means to say no and cut interactions and, on the other hand, that women exercise greater social ability to make petitions.
