Among a hundred countries: Lebanon is the most angry people in the world.. Iraq is fourth and Jordan is sixth!
Lebanon topped the Angry Peoples Index for the year 2022 issued by the global research company Gallup, which is specialized in measuring emotions, while Iraq came fourth in the list that polls more than 100 countries and Jordan is sixth.
Lebanon ranked first in the negative sentiment survey, which ranks the most angry countries in the world, followed by Turkey in second place, then Armenia in third place, and Iraq in fourth place.
In its report covering the second half of 2021 and the beginning of 2022, Gallup found that 49 percent of people in Lebanon experienced anger the day before the poll, the highest recorded anywhere in the world.
Lebanon ranked third in last year's results, while Turkey came after Armenia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Jordan, Mali and Sierra Leone.
The study conducted by the global research company Gallup is based on five basic principles: stress, sadness, anger, anxiety and psychological pain.
It is believed that the conditions the Lebanese people are going through make them among the most angry and resentful nations, as the national currency lost more than 95 percent of its value, and the unemployment rate rose to more than 38 percent, while the inflation index recorded 250 percent during a period of two years.
In its study, the report revealed that Iraq came at the forefront of the people who felt the most sadness and tension;
About 51 percent of those surveyed said they feel all five of these feelings in their country.
The reasons for this feeling among Iraqis are due to the political and economic crises in the country, the spread of assassinations, in addition to poverty.
The population of Iraq, according to the latest census of the Iraqi Ministry of Planning, is 40 million people in all cities of the country, including the Kurdistan region of Iraq.
And 48 percent of the Lebanese who participated in the poll said that they were exposed to all five negative feelings.
The report said that the Lebanese people's feelings of anxiety, anger, sadness, tension and psychological pain increased between 2018-2020 by a greater percentage than all other countries, an increase of 18 points out of 100.
