The State of Global Emotions
Gallup’s annual Global Emotions Report measures people’s positive and negative experiences worldwide, giving leaders insights into the emotional health of their societies that traditional economic indicators don’t capture.
Positive emotions recovered in 2022. More people felt well-rested, experienced enjoyment, and smiled or laughed the previous day than in 2021. At the same time, the global rise in unhappiness stalled, with negative emotions remaining at the record high set in 2021.
41% of adults experienced a lot of worry the previous day.
32% of people worldwide experienced a lot of physical pain the previous day, meaning nearly one in three were in daily pain.
