Adaptability can be understood in three parts: behavioural, cognitive, and emotional. This is known as the “tripartite” perspective on adaptability.
Cognitive Adaptability is the ability to modify one's thoughts and thinking in response to change.
Behavioural Adaptability is the ability to change nature, intensity, and the extent of your actions to effectively manage change.
Emotional Adaptability involves adjusting your emotional response to effectively cope with change.
A combination of the three will enable you to be more effective when responding to new or changing situations.
