Survey Methods
The results in this report are based on nationally representative, probability-based samples among the adult population, ages 15 and older. The Positive Experience Index and Negative Experience Index are calculated from surveys in 122 countries and areas in 2021 and early 2022.
The 2021 results are based on telephone or face-to-face surveys of approximately 1,000 or more respondents per country or area. Gallup conducted 3,500 interviews in China, 3,000 in India, and 2,000 in the Russian Federation.
For results based on the total sample of national adults, the margin of sampling error ranges between ±2.0 and ±5.5 percentage points at the 95% confidence level. 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.
Select a positive or negative experience from the menu at the top of the table. Use the up or down arrows at the top of the column to sort the list.
