Abstract
Abstract In this article we analyze the variables of anxiety and depression in two different situations: a combat situation and taking an exam. We used the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale questionnaire with a sample of 621 subjects, divided in four groups, two groups of soldiers, one of them in situation of combat (SBH) and the other one on the military service (CMS). The other two groups were composed of male students (MS) and female students (FS) that were going to take an exam. Results could be organized in two ways: quantitative results, where the more stable subjects are the soldiers in situation of combat (SBH), both in anxiety and in the depression variables. The female students (FS) obtain higher scores in anxiety, while in the depression variable conscripted male soldiers (CMS) score higher. In a qualitative level we found differences in the composition of the variable anxiety and depression between the four groups. In spite of it, the questionnaire structure has a quite big stability.
