13% for Switzerland? That seems to be surprisingly low.
Does the word for anger in each language encompass different ranges of irritation to fury?
Otherwise, even accounting for cultural differences, the spread from Finland to Turkey for such a fundamental emotion seems ridiculous.
On this map we can see what percentage of each country’s population experiences anger during a lot of the day on an average day. Europe is home to some of the least angriest countries in the world.
Finland is the least angriest country in not only Europe, but the whole world. Only 5% of Finns experience anger on an average day. Finland is followed closely by Estonia (6%), the Netherlands and Portugal (8%). All of them are in the global top 5, which they share with Mauritius (6%).
Almost all of Europe scores below 25%. North Macedonia is just above that with 26%.
But there is one country that experiences far more anger than any other country: Turkey. Almost half of the Turkish population experience anger during a lot of the day on an average day. Turkey ranks second globally, just behind Lebanon (49%).
The data comes from the [Gallup Global Emotions Report](https://www.gallup.com/analytics/349487/gallup-global-happiness-center.aspx). This report is based on nationally representative, probability-based samples among the adult population, ages 15 and older. The indexes are calculated from surveys in 122 countries and areas in 2021 and early 2022.
And all of those people are on Reddit
Portugal is just chill, caralho.
Isolated today the number might be higher for Denmark.
A political party promising stuff during the election campaign is totally backflipping on that promise because it can then get seats in the government.
Critique from voters are not getting through to the politicians. Latest I heard a politician blamed the voters and said it was their own fault for believing election promises.
Fuck off
Ahh man, silly serbs getting angry about Kosovo on a daily basis.
That 8% in The Netherlands are farmers and FVD voters.
Ah that’s why I like going to Scandinavia.
I am Hungarian and I would like to note that this is bullshit.

anger is the frustration of unrealistic expectations and can best be dealt with by being persistently assertive instead of allowing irritations to pent up
#doubt. Romania should definitely be higher IMO
Watch this get reposted to the Poland and Ireland subreddits.
So it is not the heat?
Everybody chill
As a Portuguese this can’t be accurate. The spanish yes, even when calm they don’t speak, they shout.
It must be stressful to live in Turkiye
I just like to point out Finish people are that calm because they don’t actually experience emotions, at all.
