Emotional intelligence is the ability to perceive one’s own and other’s emotions, to discriminate among them, and to use that information to guide one’s thinking and action. It includes the ability to control emotions and handle crucial situations in an appropriate way. Individuals with high emotional intelligence are well-adjusted individuals.

• According to this model, abnormal behaviour results from biological, psychological, and socio-cultural factors. 
• Biological factors include age, genetics, physical health. 
• Psychological factors include mental and emotional health, beliefs, and expectations. 
• Sociocultural factors include interpersonal relations and socioeconomic factors. 
• If a person who has a biological predisposition towards abnormality, gets to live in a protective and nurturing environment, there are fewer chances of developing abnormal behaviour. 
• Conversely, if he is placed in an environment detrimental to his mental and social well-being, he will show abnormal behaviour.

• The diathesis model explains that those who are already genetically predisposed towards a particular disorder, are more likely to show abnormal behaviour if exposed to environmental stress. 
• The disorder is a result of both biological factors (nature) and life experiences (nurture). 
• Stressful environmental experiences could be childhood abuse, family conflict, divorce, or death. 
• The model states that the stronger the diathesis, the lesser is the less stress required to trigger abnormal behaviour. 
• Hence, a similar situation leads to different reactions by different people.

• Self-awareness: The ability to be aware of own emotions, wants, motivations, actions, strengths, and weaknesses. 
• Self-regulation: Ability to control emotions and restrain inappropriate actions.

• Social skills: Ability to comfortably and co-operatively interact and communicate with others.
