The Mediating Role of Emotional Stability and Social Skills in Psychological Resilience Following Emotional Trauma

Abstract

Emotional trauma can have a profound impact on an individual’s psychological well-being, leading to various adverse outcomes such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. However, not all individuals respond to trauma in the same way, with some exhibiting remarkable resilience. This paper explores the mediating roles of emotional stability and social skills in fostering psychological resilience following emotional trauma. Emotional stability enables individuals to regulate their emotions, maintain composure, and utilize adaptive coping strategies in the face of adversity. Social skills facilitate the development of supportive relationships that provide essential emotional and practical assistance. Together, these attributes create a synergistic effect that enhances resilience, allowing individuals to navigate challenges and recover from emotional trauma effectively. By examining the interplay between emotional stability and social skills, this paper underscores the importance of integrated interventions aimed at strengthening these traits to promote psychological resilience. The findings suggest that cultivating emotional stability and social skills can significantly improve individuals’ ability to cope with trauma and lead fulfilling lives despite adversity.
