Abstract
Infertility is a growing problem which is affecting a significant number of individuals. It is not a stable trait but a process with an uncertain trajectory. Infertility has a significant impact on subjective well-being which is a self evaluation of well-being. Since social and personal factors affects the well-being of an individual, therefore studying about them can help to gain a deeper understanding of infertility experience of women. The present study is an attempt to study the association of socio-personal factors with the subjective well-being of infertile women of Ludhiana district. The study was based on a sample of 180 infertile women (90 rural and 90 urban). Socio-personal profile was assessed by a Self- Structured Interview Schedule and subjective well-being was assessed by using Subjective well-being Inventory developed by Nagpal and Sell (1985). Results revealed that socio-personal factors like age, educational qualification, occupational status, family type, duration of infertility are significantly associated with the subjective well-being of the respondents.
