哪个国家的人最快乐

世界上哪个国家的人最快乐?答案不是美国。据一项网络国际调查(MTVNI)显示,印度人是所有国家中的人最快乐的,而日本人则是最痛苦的。全球16至34岁的人中,只有43%的人感觉他们生活快乐。在发展中国家,同年龄段的人则对未来的美好生活充满期待,中国高达84%。发达国家的人对全球化表示出过度悲观,95%的年轻德国人认为这是毁灭他们的文化,而发展中国家的人更愿意接受全球化并且对他们的经济未来持乐观态度,对他们的民族也更感到自豪。-psytopic.com



一项调查显示,发展中国家的青年人比起他们那些生活在发达国家的同龄人的对生活感觉至少快乐两倍。

印度人是所有国家中最快乐的,而日本则是最痛苦的。

一个覆盖了来自14个国家的5400名年轻人MTV网络国际调查(MTVNI)显示,全球的16至34岁的人中只有43%的人感觉他们生活快乐。

NTVNI说这个数字是被来自发达国家的年轻人拉低的。来自英国和美国的只有少于30%的年轻人说他们的觉得生活快乐。

在日本只有8%说他们很快乐。

这些发达社会的人的不快乐因素包括缺乏乐观精神,过度投入工作和成就的压力。

在发展中国家,他们的同年龄组的人大部分期望将来的生活会更愉快,中国最高达到84%。

“这些在发展中国家更高兴的年轻人同时也是最虔诚的。”调查说。

这个MTVNI历时6个月完成,并且得到了基于他们对于安全,适应社会和如何看待他们未来的认知,比较年轻人感觉的“幸福索引”。

来自阿根廷和南非的年轻人在“他们有多高兴”的列表中处理顶端,达到75%.

这全部的“幸福索引”更多的是富裕和穷困的混合。印度第一,接下来是瑞士和巴西。

“在发展中国家,经济高速增长,所以理论上你应该看到的是乐观和积极的感觉。”MTVNI的主席Bill Roedy告诉路透社。

发达国家对全球化表示过度的悲观,95%的年轻德国人认为这是毁灭他们的文化,而发展中国家的人更愿意接受全球化并且对他们的经济未来持乐观态度,对他们的民族也更感到自豪。

MTVNI说他们注意的一个倾向是年轻人有权使用大众传媒会让他们失去安全感,然而他们又没有认知技术来解释真正的危险。

在英国,80%的16岁至34岁的人说他们害怕恐怖活动就像害怕患癌症一样,然而后者却是更可能伤害他们的。

参加调查的14个国家分别是阿根廷,巴西,中国,丹麦,法国,德国,印度,印度尼西亚,日本,墨西哥,南非,瑞士,英国和美国。

Young people in developed countries unhappy
By Kate Holton


Young people in developing nations are at least twice as likely to feel happy about their lives than their richer counterparts, a survey says.

Indians are the happiest overall and Japanese the most miserable.

According to an MTV Networks International (MTVNI) global survey that covered more than 5,400 young people in 14 countries, only 43 percent of the world's 16- to 34-year-olds say they are happy with their lives.

MTVNI said this figure was dragged down by young people in the developed world, including those in Britain and the United States where fewer than 30 percent of young people said they were happy with the way things were.

Only eight percent in Japan said they were happy.

Reasons for unhappiness across the developed world included a lack of optimism, concern over jobs and pressure to succeed.

In developing countries a majority in the same age group expected their lives to be more enjoyable in the future, led by China with 84 percent.

"The happier young people of the developing world are also the most religious," the survey said.

The MTVNI survey took six months to complete and resulted in the Wellbeing Index which compared the feelings of young people, based on their perceptions of how they feel about safety, where they fit into society and how they see their future.

Young people from Argentina and South Africa came joint top in the list of how happy they were at 75 percent.

The overall Wellbeing Index was more mixed between rich and poor. India came top followed by Sweden and Brazil came last.

"In developing countries, economic growth is on the go ... so you could see that logically there should be optimism and a positive feeling," Bill Roedy, the President of MTVNI, told Reuters.

Developed countries were particularly pessimistic about globalisation, with 95 percent of young Germans thinking it is ruining their culture, while developing countries which tended to be more receptive to globalisation were also more optimistic about their economic future and more proud of their nationality.

MTVNI said one of the trends they spotted was that young people with access to mass media tended to feel less safe as they did not have the cognitive skills to interpret real risk.

In the UK, more than 80 percent of 16- to 34-year-olds said they were as afraid of terrorism as they were of the getting cancer -- though the latter was far more likely to hurt them.

The 14 countries included in the survey were Argentina, Brazil, China, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, South Africa, Sweden, the UK and the U.S.
