 INTRODUCTION
Emotions are described as the prime movers of behaviour.
Emotional adjustment is an important task because, adjustment
during emotions lead to a normal behaviour, whereas
maladjustment leads to abnormal behaviour.
These stirred up states are store houses of energy, which may work
for both intense vigor and efficiency and strong disruption of
mental life.
There are many instances where even highly intelligent people fail
to manage their emotions and some average intelligent persons
manage their emotions effectively and harmoniously. It is called
‘emotional intelligence’.

 DEFINITION
 Emotional adjustment (also referred to as personal adjustment
or psychological adjustment) is the maintenance of emotional
equilibrium in the face of internal and external stressors. This is
facilitated by cognitive processes of acceptance and adaptation.
An example would be maintaining emotional control and
coping behavior in the face of an identity crisis.
 This capacity is an important aspect of mental health and where
it is compromised, or not developed, psychopathology and
mental disorder can result.
