Stress and Emotional Intelligence: the psychological connection

Stress is a common psychological syndrome present in different situations of human interaction extending from society to family, workplace, business organization, educational institution and so on. Stressful situations keep arising all through an individual's life and avoidance thereof is often difficult. The term stress in common parlance would mean any unwanted external-internal interference with the state of psychological equilibrium causing anxiety. However, in the pedagogic context of Psychology it refers to the behavioural changes and problems occurring due to the external-internal stimuli. The book talks about the connection between stress and emotional intelligence and the methods to resolve stress with special reference to students.
