Emotional maturity
Emotional maturity is the ability to recognize, regulate and express emotions responsibly towards oneself and others.
Definition
Emotional maturity includes contact with emotions, tolerance of frustration, accepting responsibility for reactions, and the ability to repair after conflict. It does not equal coolness or perfect control. It is rather the ability to notice an impulse, name the experience and choose a response that does not destroy relationships or one's own values.
