Malaysia has been listed as the fifth happiest country in the world by the Global Mind Project’s fourth annual “Mental State of the World” report.
Topping the list was the Dominican Republic, followed by Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Panama, Malaysia, Nigeria, Venezuela, El Salvador, Costa Rica, and Uruguay.
The report by the non-profit neuroscience research organization Sapien Labs polled 419,175 individuals from 71 countries in an anonymous online survey.
Also listed in the report were the top ten unhappiest countries with Uzbekistan listed first, followed by the United Kingdom, South Africa, Brazil, Tajikistan, Australia, Egypt, Ireland, Iraq, and Yemen.
The poll aims to find an individual’s Mental Health Quotient (MHQ), which assesses 47 aspects of mental health, in six categories – mood and outlook, social self, drive and motivation, mind-body connection, cognition, adaptability, and resilience. Information on lifestyle, dynamics with family and friends, and personal trauma, was also collected in the survey.
