Abstract

El bienestar emocional es un factor fundamental que influye directamente en la productividad individual desde una perspectiva económica. Recientemente, la pandemia de la COVID-19 ha sido un factor significativo que ha afectado al bienestar emocional. Esta crisis ha tenido graves repercusiones en las economías y las sociedades, así como importantes efectos psicológicos y sociales en la población, tales como ansiedad, estrés y transformaciones en la educación y el empleo. Para medir estos aspectos, es muy habitual utilizar encuestas basadas en escalas cualitativas. El método más popular para manejar la información cualitativa consiste en asignar valores numéricos a las categorías de respuesta de estas escalas cualitativas. Sin embargo, esta práctica puede producir una interpretación distorsionada de los datos, ya que se pueden obtener resultados diferentes según cómo se asignen los valores numéricos. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar el impacto del coronavirus en determinados aspectos emocionales de mujeres y hombres en España mediante un indicador basado en el concepto de medidas de proximidad ordinal. La base de datos utilizada en este estudio se obtuvo del Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas de España
