RT Journal Article T1 Tracing emotional experiences and the well-being during the pandemic through drawings by Spanish children A1 Rodríguez Pascual, Iván A1 Berasategui Sancho, Naiara A1 Eiguren Munitis, Amaia A1 Picaza Gorrotxategi, Maitane A1 Serrano Díaz, Noemí A1 González Gómez, Teresa A1 Palasí Luna, Eva AB The changes in emotions experienced during the pandemic and their effects on children's well-being remain a significant issue. This study analyses 86 drawings created by children aged 5–13, collected in fieldwork conducted through workshops across various regions of Spain. The main objective was to describe how children portray their emotional changes and the resulting impact on their lives within the context of the pandemic. We employed qualitative bottom-up logic to code the drawings using CAQDAS. Findings revealed a discernible emotional impact, expressed more explicitly by girls, as well as lasting elements concerning the pandemic and the enduring restrictions on social interactions, even beyond the widespread lockdowns of 2020.
