An American research-based organization
Gallup has published an extraordinary rating based on emotions of people
living in the world.
The 2015 Global Emotions report shows the result based on nearly 153,000 interviews with adults in 148 countries in 2014.
The Gallup’s research includes 2 indices: Positive Experience Index and Negative Experience Index.
The organization notes that Positive and Negative Experience Indexes measure life’s intangibles — feelings and emotions — that traditional economic indicators such as GDP were never intended to capture.
“Gallup measured daily emotions by asking people whether they experienced five positive and five negative emotions a lot the previous day. The five negative experiences include anger, stress, sadness, physical pain and worry. The five positive experiences include feeling well-rested, being treated with respect, enjoyment, smiling and laughing a lot and learning or doing something interesting. The most and least emotional countries are based on the rankings of the average “yes” responses to all questions,” the organization explains.
Gallup notes that more than 70% of people worldwide said they experienced a lot of enjoyment, smiled or laughed a lot, felt well-rested and felt treated with respect while 50% of people said they learned or did something interesting the day before the interview.
The organization has estimated that Positive Experience Index score for the world in 2014 was 71. This score has remained remarkably consistent through the years. Scores worldwide range from a high of 89 in Paraguay to a low of 47 in Sudan.
According to the results, people in Latin America are the most likely in the world to experience a lot of positive emotions on a daily basis. In fact, Gallup says, for the first time in 10-year history of global tracking, all of the top 10 countries with the highest Positive Experience Index scores are in Latin America.
The Negative Experience Index score for the world in 2014 was 25, down slightly from 2013 and ending what had been an upward trend while scores worldwide range from a high of 56 in Iraq to a low of 12 in Uzbekistan.
Gallup states that Iraq and Iran have the highest Negative Experience Index scores in the world for the second year in a row. “Iraq has been No. 1 on this index three times — in 2011, 2013 and 2014 — and has been among the top five in all other years since 2008. Iran was No. 1 in 2012 and has made at least the top 15 countries in the years when Gallup has conducted surveys there,” the organization notes.
