Do you live in one of the world\u2019s unhappiest places?<\/p>\n

A new study<\/a> released this week by Gallup cited Iran as the country with the highest negative emotions \u2014 a close second behind Iraq.<\/p>\n

Just last month, six Iranians were arrested in the country for dancing to Pharrell\u2019s \u201cHappy\u201d in the country\u2019s capitol, Tehran. They have since been released.<\/p>\n

Gallup measured negative emotions in 138 countries in 2013 by asking people whether they experienced a lot of anger, stress, sadness, physical pain and worry the previous day. Gallup compiles the \u201cyes\u201d results into a Negative Experience Index score for each country. The higher the score, the more pervasive negative emotions are in a country.<\/p>\n

In another Gallup study<\/a> ranking positive emotions, Paraguay ranks first in positive experiences, and Syria was the least likely country worldwide to report positive experiences.<\/p>\n

Giving Iran a run for its money \u2014 at least as far as unhappiness is concerned \u2014 are these other countries:<\/p>\n

  1. Iraq<\/li>\n
