I am currently carrying out a research project as part of my psychology college course. I am gathering the date for this project via a questionnaire, however - Before I can do that, I need to find out a couple of things.

Out of the list of different stressful situations and events below, could you please list the most common 5 in order? Starting with the most common causes of stress for you personally first.

Thanks, it would be a great help to me.

No signal on your mobile.
Traffic jams.
Work/School Deadlines.
Revising.
Examinations.
Work.
Family visits.
Marriages.
Funerals.
Birthdays.
Organizing events.
Irritating music.
Late public transport.
Heavy traffic.
Money worries.
Bills.
Professional relationships.
Personal relationships.

Thanks again. I am aware this list isn't complete by any means, but it is as complete as I can make it.

Moving house is supposed to be one of the most stressful situations you will ever find yourself in although that may come under "organised events" I suppose. Other than that I think you've probably covered most of the major ones apart from relationships - personal and professional.

//edit and do you want people to list the five most common that occur to them or do you want them to rank five in order from most to least stressful? As an aside I dislike the word stress - just call it worry, that is all it used to be called.
 
1 - 10 10 being most stressful for me.

Thanks, I will add relationships (both kinds) as well - Then I will leave the list in that state, or I will keep ammending it all day.

I want people to list the 5 most common stressful situations they come across in their day to day lives.

Thanks Surfer, will do.
 
Work. 5
Irritating music. 4
Heavy traffic. 1
Professional relationships. 2
Personal relationships. 3

Purely in order of how often these situations occur, not based on actual levels of worry they cause me.
 
Don't know if this falls under one of the mentioned categories, but managing a team (work team, not sports) could be pretty stressful, especially if you're all working on a complex/large project.
 
A lot of stressful situations will be due to things that are out of your control (remeber this from pschology lessons).

I.E. car alarm going off randomly at sporadic intervals throughout the night which requires you to get up and turn it off :(:p
 
so my top 5 stresses would be

Personal Relationships
Moving House
Late Public Transport
Family Visits
Funerals/Bills (not sure i would say stressed at funerals)
 
I find it that it is only stressful when it is out of my control, as long as I have some kind of control and going according to plan then it's fine.
