 A map of the world's countries by most and least emotional. Click to enlarge. (Max Fisher) 
  
 Since 2009, the 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. 
  
 Gallup has tallied up the average "yes" responses from respondents in almost every country on Earth. The results, which I've mapped out above, are as fascinating as they are indecipherable. The color-coded key in the map indicates the average percentage of people who answered "yes." Dark purple countries are the most emotional, yellow the least. Here are a few takeaways. 
  
 Singapore is the least emotional country in the world. "Singaporeans recognize they have a problem," Bloomberg Businessweek writes of the country's "emotional deficit," citing a culture in which schools "discourage students from thinking of themselves as individuals." They also point to low work satisfaction, competitiveness, and the urban experience: "Staying emotionally neutral could be a way of coping with the stress of urban life in a place where 82 percent of the population lives in government-built housing." 
  
 The Philippines is the world's most emotional country. It's not even close; the heavily Catholic, Southeast Asian nation, a former colony of Spain and the U.S., scores well above second-ranked El Salvador. 
  
 Post-Soviet countries are consistently among the most stoic. Other than Singapore (and, for some reason, Madagascar and Nepal), the least emotional countries in the world are all former members of the Soviet Union. They are also the greatest consumers of cigarettes and alcohol. This could be what you call and chicken-or-egg problem: if the two trends are related, which one came first? Europe appears almost like a gradient here, with emotions increasing as you move West. 
  
 People in the Americas are just exuberant. Every nation on the North and South American continents ranked highly on the survey. Americans and Canadians are both among the 15 most emotional countries in the world, as well as ten Latin countries. The only non-American countries in the top 15, other than the Philippines, are the Arab nations of Oman and Bahrain, both of which rank very highly. 
  
 English- and Spanish-speaking societies tend to be highly emotional and happy. Though the Anglophone nations of the world retain deep cultural links, it's not clear if Spain's emotional depth has anything to do with Latin America's. According to Gallup, "Latin America leads the world when it comes to positive emotions, with Panama, Paraguay, and Venezuela at the top of that list." Yes, even Hugo Chavez's Venezuela is apparently filled with happy people. 
  
 Africans are generally stoic, with some significant exceptions. The continent is among the world's least emotional, though there is wide variation, which serves as a non-definitive but interesting reminder of Africa's cultural diversity. Each could be its own captivating case study. It's possible that South Africa's high rating has to do with its cultural ties to Western Europe, for example, and Nigeria's may have to do with the recent protest movement in the south and sectarian violence in the north. 
  
 The Middle East is not happy. Gallup notes, "Negative emotions are highest in the Middle East and North Africa, with Iraq, Bahrain, and the Palestinian Territories leading the world in negative daily experiences." Still, that doesn't quite fully explain the high emotions in the Levant and on the Arabian peninsula, compared to the lower emotions in Libya, Algeria, and Morocco. Perhaps this hints at how people in these countries are being affected by the still-ongoing political turmoil of the Arab Spring. 
  
 What am I missing? Every color-coded national boundary here tells a story. Why is Haiti so bereft of emotion compared to its neighbors? Why is Angola so heavy with feeling? Leave your thoughts in the comments or reach me on social media. ||||| WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Singaporeans are the least likely in the world to report experiencing emotions of any kind on a daily basis. The 36% who report feeling either positive or negative emotions is the lowest in the world. Filipinos, on the other hand, are the most emotional, with six in 10 saying they experience a lot of these feelings daily. 
  
 See the full list of countries on page 2. 
  
 Gallup measures daily emotions in more than 150 countries and areas by asking residents whether they experienced five positive and five negative emotions a lot the previous day. Negative experiences include anger, stress, sadness, physical pain, and worry. Positive emotions include feeling well-rested, being treated with respect, enjoyment, smiling and laughing a lot, and learning or doing something interesting. 
  
 To measure the presence or absence of emotions, Gallup averaged together the percentage of residents in each country who said they experienced each of the 10 positive and negative emotions. 
  
 Negative emotions are highest in the Middle East and North Africa, with Iraq, Bahrain, and the Palestinian Territories leading the world in negative daily experiences. Latin America leads the world when it comes to positive emotions, with Panama, Paraguay, and Venezuela at the top of that list. 
  
 Implications 
  
 Behavioral indicators such as positive and negative emotions are a vital measure of a society's wellbeing. Leaders worldwide are starting to incorporate such behavioral-based indicators into the metrics they use to evaluate their countries because they realize that traditional economic indicators such as GDP and 40-hour workweeks alone do not, and cannot, quantify the human condition. 
  
 While higher incomes may improve people's emotional wellbeing, they can only do so to a certain extent. In the United States, for example, Nobel Prize-winning economist Daniel Kahneman and Princeton economist Angus Deaton found that after individuals make $75,000 annually, additional income will have little meaningful effect on how they experience their lives. Consider this finding in the context of Singapore, a country with one of the lowest unemployment rates and highest GDP per capita rates in the world, but a place where residents barely experience any positive emotions. This research shows that it will take more than higher incomes to increase positive emotions or decrease negative emotions. Singapore leadership needs to consider strategies that lie outside of the traditional confines of classic economics and would be well-advised to include wellbeing in its overall strategies if it is going to further improve the lives of its citizenry.

 Survey Methods 
  
 Results are based on telephone and face-to-face interviews with approximately 1,000 adults, aged 15 and older, in each country each year between 2009 and 2011. For results based on the total sample of national adults, one can say with 95% confidence that the maximum margin of sampling error ranges from ±0.4 percentage points to ±3.8 percentage points. The margin of error reflects the influence of data weighting. In addition to sampling error, question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of public opinion polls.

Output:
When it comes to "emotionless societies," Singapore takes the cake. This according to Gallup, which has polled residents in 150 countries since 2009 in a quest to gauge how emotional each country is. It went about doing so by asking a series of yes-and-no questions designed to suss out whether a person had experienced positive or negative emotions (sample: "Did you smile or laugh a lot yesterday?"). More "yes" answers translated into a more emotional country. In the case of Singapore, only 36% reported feeling emotions of any kind. The world leader in feeling emotions? The Philippines, which had a 60% emotional rating. The Washington Post analyzed the data by creating a color-coded map of the results, with Max Fisher calling the results "as fascinating as they are indecipherable." Among his conclusions: Post-Soviet countries are far from emotional: Aside from Singapore, Madagascar, and Nepal, the top 10 least emotional countries was comprised of ex-Soviet Union countries. On the flipside, the Americas dominate: The only countries in the top 15 most emotional countries not from North or South America are the Philippines, Oman, and Bahrain. There are odd anomalies: Haiti is far more emotionless than its neighbors; the reverse is true for Angola. Gallup also looked at the positive/negative breakdown: Panama, Paraguay, and Venezuela lead in positive emotions, while Iraq, Bahrain, and the Palestinian Territories were at the bottom of the list.
