Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Social Readjustment Rating Scale (SRRS) was designed to measure stress caused by major life changes, such as marriage, divorce, or the death of a loved one. The scale assigns point values to various life events and the total score can indicate an individual's level of stress. The other options listed (natural disasters, social difficulties, negative life events) are related to stress but not specifically measured by the SRRS scale.
