A map of the world’s countries by most and least emotional. Click to enlarge. (Max Fisher)
Gallup polling firm has surveyed people in 150 countries and territories on, among other things, their daily emotional experience. Their survey asks five questions, meant to gauge whether the respondent felt significant positive or negative emotions the day prior to the survey. The more times that people answer “yes” to questions such as “Did you smile or laugh a lot yesterday?”, the more emotional they’re deemed to be.
Following are the main results:
- Singapore is the least emotional country in the world
- The Philippines is the world’s most emotional country
- Post-Soviet countries are consistently among the most stoic
- People in the Americas are just exuberant
- English- and Spanish-speaking societies tend to be highly emotional and happy
- Africans are generally stoic, with some significant exceptions
- The Middle East is not happy
