Abstract :

The aim of this study was to determine the structural model of the effect of early maladaptive schemas on the experience of psychological distress through negative emotion regulation in adolescents. The present study was a descriptive-correlational study using structural equation modeling. The statistical population included all high school students in Miandoab city in the academic year 2019-2020 to the number of 4779 people. The statistical sample included 399 students who were selected using solving formula by stepwise cluster sampling. Data collection tools included the Young schema questionnaire, cognitive emotion regulation, and psychological distress scale. Data analysis was performed using Spss-26 and Amos-21. Data analysis showed that the direct paths of early maladaptive schemas to the regulation of negative emotion and psychological distress and the direct pathways of negative emotion regulation to psychological disturbance are statistically significant (p
