AB Emotional  well-being  is  a  fundamental  factor  that  directly  influences  individual  productivity  from  an  economic  perspective.  Recently,  the  COVID-19  pandemic  has  been a significant factor that has affected emotional well-being. It has had serious repercussions  on  economies  and  societies,  as  well  as  significant  psychological  and  social  effects  on  the  population,  such  as  anxiety,  stress,  and  transformations  in  education  and  employment.  To  measure  these  aspects,  it  is  very  common  to  use  surveys  based  on  qualitative  scales.  The  most  popular  method  for  managing qualitative   information   involves   assigning   numerical   values   to   the   response   categories of these qualitative scales. However, this practice can produce a distorted interpretation  of  the  data,  as  different  results  can  be  obtained  depending  on  how  the numerical values are assigned. The aim of this paper is to analyze the impact of the coronavirus on certain emotional aspects of women and men in Spain using an indicator based on the concept of ordinal proximity measures. The database used in this study was obtained from the Sociological Research Center of Spain.
