Source: World Values Survey, 1981-84 and 1989-93 waves. Sources for GDP per capita are described in the text.

Notes: Questions are those typically grouped as the Bradburn Affect Balance Scale. Respondents were asked, “We are interested in the way people are feeling these days. During the
past few weeks, did you ever feel...?” Top and bottom rows show responses to questions relating to positive and negative affect, respectively. Each observation represents one of fifty-
four nationally representative country-wave samples drawn from forty developed and developing countries. Dashed lines are fitted from OLS regressions of the percent agreeing with
the statement on log real GDP per capita; dotted lines are fitted from lowess estimations. GDP per capita is at purchasing power parity in constant 2000 international dollars.
