In this study, we examined emotional distress using annual representative survey data from 1.53 million individuals surveyed in 113 countries from 2009 to 2021. Participants reported whether they had experienced worry, sadness, stress, or anger during a lot of the previous day. Within-country estimates showed that the prevalence of feelings of emotional distress increased from 25 to 31% between 2009 and 2021, with those with low levels of education and income experiencing the largest increases in distress. On a global level, the pandemic period was characterized by an initial increase in distress in 2020 followed by recovery in 2021.
在这项研究中，我们利用了 2009 年至 2021 年期间对来自 113 个国家的 153 万人进行的年度代表性调查数据，研究了情绪困扰。参与者报告了他们在前一天的大部分时间里是否经历了担忧、悲伤、压力或愤怒。国内估计显示，2009 年至 2021 年间，感到情绪困扰的比例从 25%增加到 31%，受教育程度和收入水平较低的人群的困扰程度增加最大。在全球范围内，疫情期间的特点是 2020 年困扰程度最初增加，随后在 2021 年恢复。
