Data collected in 27 countries suggested that although there were some differences among the samples, these differences were much lower than the ones within the countries."..."In all cultures, the most important event categories were birth and death, good and bad news, acceptance or rejection in relationships, meetings with friends, dates, temporary and permanent separation, listening to music, sexual experiences, interaction with strangers, and success or failure."
