An increasing number of couples experience difficulties conceiving. Understanding how these circumstances affect individuals’ emotional well-being and quality of life is essential for developing more effective forms of support.

The Social Psychology and Gender Research Laboratory at the University of Granada is currently conducting a study examining the impact of conception difficulties on individuals’ socioemotional well-being. More specifically, we aim to understand how these experiences are perceived and navigated, as well as the role that attitudes toward parenthood and mutual support within the couple relationship play throughout this process.

👩‍❤️‍👨 Who can participate?

• Heterosexual couples aged 18 years or older.
  • Couples who are currently trying to conceive naturally but have not yet achieved pregnancy (regardless of whether they are undergoing assisted reproductive treatment).
  • Individuals willing to share their experiences voluntarily, anonymously, and confidentially.

🕒 What does participation involve?

• Each partner will independently complete an online questionnaire (approximately 15-20 minutes).
  • All information provided will be treated with strict confidentiality.
