the
most
emotional
countries
How
do
you
measure
emotions
and
feeling
?
GDP
(
Gross
Domestic
Product
)
may
be
a
reliable
way
of
measuring
a
country's
economy
but
it
tells
very
little
about
what
it's
like
to
live
in
a
given
place
.
That's
why
the
Kingdom
of
Bhutan
came
up
with
a
groundbreaking
idea
of
GNH
,
or
Gross
National
Happiness
,
to
measure
how
happy
people
in
the
country
really
feel
.
On
a
global
scale
,
Gallup
Inc
.
,
an
American
research
based
,
global
performance
-
management
consulting
company
,
regularly
a
Global
Emotions
Report
.
The
survey
covers
148
countries
and
illustrates
where
in
the
world
people
are
most
likely
to
laugh
or
experience
anger
.
What
are
the
findings
?
According
to
the
latest
report
,
Latin
America
represents
the
majority
of
the
world's
most
emotional
countries
.
Take
a
look
at
some
of
the
countries
that
made
it
to
the
top
ten

Lively
Bolivia
:
The
first
five
countries
are
located
in
South
America
with
Bolivia
topping
the
Gallup
index
.
It
is
said
that
60%
of
Bolivian
residents
experience
either
positive
or
negative
emotions
in
a
given
day
.
"
People
tend
to
be
warm
,
open
,
curious
,
and
welcoming
,
"
said
one
Canadian
woman
who
lived
in
Sucre
last
year
.
Although
many
residents
,
especially
in
the
countryside
,
can
be
quite
shy
as
the
country
is
less
by
tourists
,
they
are
generally
curious
about
foreigners
but
don't
necessarily
like
to
put
tourists
'above'
them
.
This
creates
a
unique
atmosphere
where
travelers
visiting
Bolivia
often
stay
for
longer
than
only
a
few
days
.
This
is
especially
true
in
Sucre
,
one
of
the
country
?
s
safest
and
prettiest
cities
,
which
has
a
small
expat
community
of
mainly
English
and
Germans
bars
,
restaurants
,
and
language
schools
.
Sucre
also
has
a
lively
nightlife
scene
and
expats
claim
it
has
a
bit
of
a
European
feel
,
which
makes
it
quite
comfortable
for
foreigners
.

Distant
Philippines
:
This
island
nation
was
the
only
non
-
Latin
American
country
in
the
Gallup
index's
top
five
.
It
may
come
as
a
surprise
but
the
two
might
actually
have
more
in
common
than
you
think
.
Are
there
any
similarities
?
Without
a
doubt
!
"
There
are
certain
similarities
between
the
Filipino
culture
and
the
Latin
American
culture
.
After
all
,
both
were
under
Spanish
rule
for
a
long
time
,
so
I
would
say
that
in
terms
of
being
'emotional'
,
they
are
both
up
there
,
"
said
one
resident
.
The
culture
can
be
described
as
a
mixture
of
both
East
and
West
.
Filipino
and
English
are
the
official
languages
,
but
it's
not
uncommon
to
hear
occasional
Spanish
words
as
well
.
Negative
emotions
,
although
felt
deeply
,
aren't
always
expressed
easily
or
in
a
way
by
the
people
.
"
Because
we
are
emotional
,
we
tend
to
hide
if
we
don't
feel
good
about
a
person
,
things
,
or
events
,
"
said
one
native
Philippines
worker
from
Cebu
City
.
"
We
tend
to
keep
it
in
,
or
worse
,
we
talk
about
it
to
other
people
,
creating
gossip
.
I
think
you
are
not
from
Philippines
if
you
are
not
into
chika

Mysterious
Iraq
:
What
do
you
know
about
Iraq
and
its
people
?
Iraq
has
a
long
history
of
being
an
emotional
country
and
was
also
included
in
the
index
.
World
events
definitely
have
shaped
the
emotional
experience
here
,
particularly
on
the
negative
index
.

Back
in
2009
,
before
all
the
destruction
,
I
visited
Syria
and
was
amused
to
learn
that
Syrians
call
sad
music
'Iraqi
music'
because
our
music
is
almost
always
sad
,
"
said
a
software
engineer
at
Weebly
in
San
Francisco
who
comes
from
Babylon
,
Iraq
.
"
Sadness
is
more
so
than
happiness
,
it's
deeply
within
the
culture
.
"
That
said
,
a
good
sense
of
humor
plays
a
vital
role
in
the
Iraqi
culture
and
the
country
would
take
the
ultimate
crown
in
the
poetry
department
which
proves
they
can
be
sensitive
and
witty
too
.
