The first part of the thesis deals with mental health and the methods by which it can be promoted. The second part of the thesis describes the Positivity Self Test, which was distributed to 5 university students. Respondents completed the test four times over the course of a year, over a period of 14 days. Twice during holidays and twice during school. This test is used to assess the extent to which university study influences respondents' positivity. The results showed that during the semester, the average positivity ratio was equal to 1.04:1. Approximately for every positive emotion, there was one negative emotion during this entire period, and the overall average positivity ratio during the holidays was 1.83:1. Thus, positivity decreased by almost one positive emotion for every one negative emotion.
