According to the Social Readjustment Rating Scale devised by Holmes and Rahe in 1967 the top ranked life event stressors were

death of spouse
divorce
marital seperation
jail term
death of close family member


and interestingly, getting married ranked number 7!

Good luck with your assignment

death is more a fear not stress. Public speaking would be up there as the highest I reckon

1. death of loved one/close friend
2. sexual difficulties
3. divorce
4. Exam Anxiety
5. Insincerity in Relationship (i.e cheating spouse)


thats what I would pick as top 5 contributers.
