Emotional security is the measure of the stability of an individual's emotional situation. A person who is susceptible to bouts of depression being triggered by minor setbacks is said to be less "emotionally secure". A person whose general happiness is not very shaken even by major disturbances in the pattern or fabric of their life might be said to be extremely emotionally secure.

  • Emotional security is the measure of the stability of an individual's emotional situation. A person who is susceptible to bouts of depression being triggered by minor setbacks is said to be less "emotionally secure". A person whose general happiness is not very shaken even by major disturbances in the pattern or fabric of their life might be said to be extremely emotionally secure. For example, someone who might fit a common Western/Occidental notion of emotional security is someone for whom the death of a relative or friend: - initiates a healthy amount of sadness combined with - thankfulness for the deceased's having been able to experience the joy of existence (especially if he or she lived a long and/or fulfilling life), - hope that the deceased person has gone to a 'better place' (if such hope would be religiously appropriate - see afterlife), and - renewed dedication to make the most of one's own remaining time and - take better care of one's health. On the other hand, someone who might be said to display a degree of attachment to the deceased person that does not coincide with common-sense notions of emotional security is: - Someone for whom such a death initiated an unendurable amount of grief, leading him or her to - lose commitment to his or her own projects, and - mourning-behavior extending well beyond natural or culturally-accepted mourning-periods.
