Jordan is among the top 10 countries in the world
where people experience negative emotions. The survey also included questions
about positive emotions and stress.
On the list of countries experiencing the least
positive experiences, Jordan ranked seventh, behind Afghanistan, Lebanon, Turkey,
Egypt, Nepal, and Tunisia, followed by Bangladesh, Algeria, and Ukraine.
As for highest negative experiences, Jordan came
fifth, behind Afghanistan, Lebanon, Iraq, and Sierra Leone; after Jordan came
Turkey, Bangladesh, Ecuador, Guinea and Benin.
In introducing the report, Gallup CEO Jon Clifton
wrote: “As you’ll read in this report, in 2021, negative emotions — the
aggregate of the stress, sadness, anger, worry, and physical pain that people
feel every day — reached a new record in the history of Gallup’s tracking. This
record may not be surprising. The world is suffering from war, inflation, and a
once in a-lifetime pandemic. Any one of those would make the world worse, but
the global rise of unhappiness started long before any of those issues made headlines.
In fact, unhappiness has been rising for a decade.”
