In the past three decades, several models have been developed, and emotional intelligence (El) is understood from different perspectives. On the one hand, El can be considered an ability. On the other hand El can be understood as a personality trait. Finally, El can be taken as a mixed construct that comprise both abilities and personality traits. Regarding ability El theories, ability El is a cognitive ability related to the emotions that can be modified and improved thanks to intervention programs and trainings. Resilience refers to the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats, or even significant sources of stress. According to many empirical studies, resilience is negatively correlated with indicators of mental ill-being, such as depression, anxiety, and negative emotions, and positively correlated with positive indicators of mental health, such as life satisfaction, subjective well-being, and positive emotions. Resilience has been associated with well-being, satisfaction with life, affect, self-concept and engagement. Likewise, resilience has been found to be related to personal competence, high standards and tenacity; trust in one's instincts, tolerance of negative affect, and strengthening effects of stress; positive acceptance of change, and secure relationships; control; and spiritual influences. Like any other psychological construct, there is a moot question to distinguish trainability aspect of resilience. The paradigm shift in thinking assigned importance to identify characteristics of resilient people, and this further contributed to analyze the relationships between resilience training and its impact. Resilience is noted to be trainable. Various researchers have contributed to the understanding of trainability dimension of resilience. However, the evidence suggests that it is a part of nature and nurture dimension.
The present book examined the relationship between expressing emotions, psychological resilience and subjective well-being. This book discusses the role of emotion, resilience, and well-being in many contexts of human life, including home, school, and workplace. By developing your emotional resilience you can be bulletproof, prepare yourself against even the most challenging situations, and focus fully on achieving your goals, getting things done, moving ahead and being the best you can be. The book explores the multifaceted notion of wellbeing from different disciplinary perspectives in the social sciences, contributing to an understanding of human flourishing and of inclusive and empowering social being.
