"Emotional stability is the opposite of emotional reactivity, which is the tendency to experience negative feelings.

People low in emotional stability are emotionally reactive. They respond emotionally to events that would not affect most people, and their reactions tend to be more intense than normal. They are more likely to interpret ordinary situations as threatening, and minor frustrations as hopelessly difficult. Their negative emotional reactions tend to persist for unusually long periods of time, which means they are often in a bad mood. These problems in emotional regulation can diminish ones ability to think clearly, make decisions, and cope effectively with stress."

I made that up...OK, I googled it!
