In contrast to emotional instability, emotional stability is the pronounced ability to control one's own emotions . Emotionally stable people show balanced and uneven emotional reactions as well as the ability to quickly overcome failures and setbacks. The personality trait “emotional stability / instability” corresponds to the construct of neuroticism in Eysenck's model of personality. Emotional stability is measured in various personality tests such as MMPI , NEO-FFI or BIP .
