AB  - Evaluation of psychometric properties and
those related to the Oxford OHI questionnaire Hills and
Argyle<sup>[1]</sup> in University students. The purpose of this
paper is to investigate the relationship between the model
of 41 questions: personal and those related to the Oxford
questionnaire, among the students of the Engineering
Faculty of the District Universidad F. Jose de Caldas
Bogota, Colombia 2019 in this descriptive study, it was
conducted with 162 students of the Engineering Faculty
of the district University F. Jose de Caldas Bogota,
selected by stratified random sampling. For data
collection the demographic survey and the Oxford
happiness survey, the OHI inventory<sup>[1]</sup> were used. Data
were analyzed using descriptive statistics (percentage,
mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics
(Pearson&#146;s moment-product correslation coefficient and
multiple regression analysis). The statistical software
SPSS V.21 Nie and Hadlei in 1970 was used software for
data analysis. The results obtained indicate that: the
transfer time of less than one hour from home to the
University, the fact of being a believer of a religion and
an academic average >3.5, generates a high level of
happiness in students On the other hand, gender
(male, female) and the economic statement were not
significant in the determination of happiness. Similarly,
based on the results obtained in this study, the inventory
of Oxford OHI Hills and Argyle<sup>[1]</sup> could be endorsed as
a valid and reliable means of measurement, so it can be
used to assess happiness in university students.
