The way Polish people feel about themselves has undergone a visible improvement since the beginning of the 1990s. There has been a significant rise in the percentage of respondents who frequently, or very frequently, experience positive emotions such as satisfaction that they have accomplished something in life, confidence that everything is going well, pride in their achievements and also a feeling of being interested or excited about something.

Over the same period there has simultaneously been a clear drop in the percentage of respondents who frequently feel upset, irritated, discouraged, bored or angry.
