With the important asterisk that this report only included a fairly small range of countries. Of our nearest neighbours, only NZ, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines are included. No Indonesia, nowhere in Indochina, no China, Taiwan, Japan, or Korea, and no Pacific islands. Other missing countries that stood out to me: nowhere in Northern Europe, no Netherlands, no Greece or Turkije. No Palestine, and only a very small sample size from Israel. In Eastern Europe, every country represented had fewer than 1000 respondents, apart from Ukraine. No Russia. Only a small spattering of African nations.
Not to say that it isn't a good study and worthy of reporting on. Just that we can only describe our standing with respect to the 70 other countries represented, and only with low confidence with respect to the 12 of those with small sample sizes. When some of the more strongly-authoritarian regimes are left off, and so are some of the more famously-unhappy liberal democracies, it's just worth bearing that in mind.
