Abstract
In this research have been evaluated protection and risk factors associated with anxiety. 711 people participated, who reporting scales of anxiety, depression, hapyness and optimism, including their socio-demographic background. Results indicate that depression is a risk factor for anxiety state as a feature, data evidenced agreeing with the revised literature, since this variable has been detected in comorbility to anxiety in people from different etharian groups. While happyness turned out as a protective factor for both anxieties. Optimism resulted as protector of the anxiety feature. These results emphasize the necessity of further research with positive and negative as a whole, since this type of studies continue to be scarce.
