(1) Background: Family is considered as one of the most important elements for the transmission of healthy habits that improve the lives of students. For this reason, the present study aims to describe the degree of family functionality, emotional intelligence, Mediterranean diet adherence, and extra-curricular physical activity engagement. A further aim is to perform a correlational analysis between these variables. (2) Methods: To this end, an ad hoc questionnaire was used, alongside the APGAR, KIDMED, and Trait Meta Mood Scale (TMMS-24). (3) Results: Finally, the data suggest that a high percentage of students need to improve their diet. Further, students reporting severe family dysfunction showed worse outcomes. Thus, levels of emotional clarity were lower when family functionality was poor. Poor diet quality was also associated with lower emotional attention, with Mediterranean diet adherence being positively related to emotional clarity and repair, as well as normal family functionality. (4) Conclusions: Boys showed higher levels of adherence to the Mediterranean diet adherence, while girls reported higher family functionality. Thus, compliance with the minimum recommendations for physical activity engagement was associated with adequate adherence to the Mediterranean diet. The importance of diet for obtaining an optimal physical condition, adequate emotional state, and family functionality is highlighted.
El propósito de este estudio fue analizar el bienestar social percibido de estudiantes universitarios de Ciencias de la Educación en función de factores de tipo sociodemográfico. Se realizó un estudio no experimental, ex post facto, de carácter descriptivo mediante una medición única. La muestra estuvo constituida por 313 estudiantes universitarios de diversos grados de Educación. Los resultados indican que las mujeres muestran mayores niveles de contribución y coherencia social, mientras que los estudiantes (hombres y mujeres) que acceden a la universidad mediante formación profesional u otra vía se perciben con mayor bienestar social. Se demuestra que la integración social es mayor en las zonas más urbanizadas y que aquellos universitarios que conviven con otros presentan más aceptación social. Asimismo, vivir en zonas rurales se asoció a una mayor actualización y coherencia social por la mayor facilidad de entender la dinámica social. La edad correlacionó negativamente con la coherencia social.
