          The purpose of this study was to compare early maladaptive schemas in sex offenders and non-offenders.The present study is a descriptive-post hoc study. From male sex offenders over 18 years old in Rajayee Shahr and Qezelhesar prisons in 2009 (1388s.c.), 45 sex offenders as were selected. 45 non - offenders as control group were also matched with them in terms of their age, marriage status, education and job Early Maladaptive Schema questionnaire - short form SQ-SF (Young, Smith et al.,1995) was applied to collect the data. Stepwise discriminant analysis showed that the four schemas of abandonment, mistrust, dependence and vulnerability, respectly from the most to the least, could predict sex offenses. Abandonment, instability, mistrust, dependence Incompetence and vulnerability play a principle role in identifying the difference between sex offenders and no offenders (P<0.001). So, cognitive-behavioral therapies on sex offenders should emphasize on both automatic thoughts and early maladaptive schemas Manuscript profile

        The aim of the present study was studing the relationship between satisfaction of Basic psychological needs and the Emotional Regulation disorders with the mediation of early maladaptive schemas, among the students.The statistical population of this study consisted of all undergraduate students at Bu-Ali Sina University who were studying in 1393 in seven faculties of chemistry, basic sciences, engineering and engineering, economics and social sciences, literature and humanities, art and architecture and agriculture., Are formed. (N=700). The design of this research is descriptive and research method has been correlated. To do so, we selected 364 students (166 females and 198 males) using multiphase cluster sampling. All the students were studying in BA degree at Bu-Ali Sina University of Hamedan, Iran. The study was conducted using a descriptive-correlative design. We used Fundamental Mental Needs' scale proposed by Gardia, Dessie and Ryan (2000), Young's early maladaptive schemas­ (1998), and Emotional regulation disorder (2004) to collect data. Research design was descriptive and its method was correlational.To analyze the data, we used structural equation model, correlation coefficient and T-test by using Amos 16 soft ware.The results showed that the empirical model of the ­data had a good fit with the conceptual model. According to the results­, autonomy (0/003) and competence(p                          as two componets of fundamental mental needs ­scale can influence the emotional adjustment disorder, in both direct and indirect ways.More over, The need to autonomy(0/011) and competence(0/02) ­can influence the early maladaptiveschemas­.

         AbstractThe purpose of this study was to predict Alexithymia. based on early maladaptive schemas and emotional expressiveness with the role of mediating cognitive flexibility in patients with chronic pain. The research method was correlational and path analysis studies. For this study, 300 patients with chronic pain referred to Tehran hospitals were selected by multistage cluster sampling. Participants completed the questionnaires of early maladaptive schemas Yang (1988), King's and Ammons emotional expressiveness (1990), Toronto Emotional Intelligence (1994), Tagizadeh and Nikkhah's Cognitive Flexibility (2015). Amos and SPSS software were used for data analysis. The results of path analysis showed that only the domains of disturbed constraints of 0.18 and other areas of orientation of 0.14 have a positive effect in explaining the variance of alexithymia (p <0.05). Emotional expression in explaining the variance of alexithymia by -0.27; Affects the mediating variable (cognitive flexibility) -0.44 (p <0.01). Finally, emotional expression with an impact factor of -0.31 has an indirect effect on alexithymia through cognitive flexibility (p <0.01). The results of this study can be used to reduce the level of alexithymia by correcting early maladaptive schemas, emotional expression and cognitive flexibility in patients with chronic pain.  Manuscript profile

        AbstractIntroduction: Marriage is one of the most important factors of mental health in society. The purpose of the present study was to predict the marital satisfaction of adolescents based on resilience and emotion regulation with the mediating role of early maladaptive schemas. Method: The method of the current research was applied, descriptive and correlational (structural equations type). The statistical population of the present study was made up of all married women who referred to the counseling centers of the Family Foundation Consolidation with an Islamic lifestyle approach in Tehran in 2021. By calculating the overestimation due to predicting the dropout of the subjects, the final sample size was 401 people, which according to the extent of the studied population, a non-random and available method was used. Olson's ENRICH Marital Satisfaction Scale (1989), Young & Brown's Young Schema Questionnaire-Short Form (1990), Garnefski et al.'s Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (2002), and Connor & Davidson's Conner-Davidson Resilience Scale (2003) were used to collect data. Then the resulting data were analyzed using path analysis method by AMOS-18 software. Results: The results indicated that resilience was able to predict marital satisfaction indirectly through schemas of impaired limitations 0.04, other-directedness 0.03 and alertness and inhibition 0.03. Also, compromised emotion regulation 0.35 and uncompromised emotion regulation -0.37, both directly and indirectly and through the schemas of impaired limitations -0.34, other-directedness 0.53, and alertness and inhibition 0.65 were able to predict marital satisfaction (p<0.001). Conclusion: Therefore, the variables of resilience, emotion regulation and early maladaptive schemas can play an important role in marital satisfaction and the need to pay attention to these important variables in divorce prevention programs should be considered.  Manuscript profile

        Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the status of early maladaptive schemas and types of love among addicted and non-addicted men aged 20 to 45 years in Qom. Method: The tool used for data collection is the Early Incompatible Schemas Questionnaire (YSQ-SF short form) and the Robert J. Sternberg Triangular Love Questionnaire. To analyze the research data, indicators and statistical methods including mean, standard deviation and independent t-test were used. Findings: The results showed a significant difference (0.01) between the drug-dependent (addicted) and non-drug groups. The mean scores of early maladaptive schemas and types of love in substance abusers were significantly higher than the mean scores of normal individuals. In other words, drug-addicted men have higher levels of unhealthy core beliefs and incompatible cognitive foundations than non-addicted (non-addicted) men. Conclusion: This discrepancy was mostly seen in early maladaptive schemes such as: abandonment, distrust, abuse, disability and shame, vulnerability to harm and disease. Also, there is a statistically significant difference between the level of intimacy and commitment between consumers and non-consumers at the level of (0.01). Manuscript profile

        Present study aimed to predicting the body image concern based on early maladaptive schemas and attachment styles. This research was cross-sectional from type of correlation. The sample research was 400 undergraduate girl students of Islamic Azad University of Mashhad branch in 2018-19 academic years which were selected by multistep cluster sampling method. The research tools including the questionnaire of body image concern (Littleton & et al, 2005), early maladaptive schemas (Young, 1998) and attachment styles (Collins & Reid, 1990). Data were analyzed by Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression with enter model. The findings showed that early maladaptive schemas including schemas of impaired autonomy and performance, disconnection and rejection, other directedness, excessive vigilance and inhibition and impaired limits and avoidant and ambivalent insecure attachment styles had a positive and significant relationship with body image concern in university girl students and secure attachment style had a negative and significant relationship with their body image concern. The prediction variables means early maladaptive schemas and attachment styles significantly could explain 46/6 percent of variance of body image concern in university girl students (p < 0/05). Regarded to the results to decrease the body image concern in university girl students via workshop can decrease the rate of early maladaptive schemas and insecure attachment styles and increase the rate of secure attachment style.

        The aim of the present study was to determine the mediating role of effective conflict resolution styles on the relationship between maladaptive early schemas and irrational relationship beliefs. This was done in the framework of causal model. The method was correlation. For this reason 293 female undergraduate and postgraduate students of university of Tehran, Which were selected by random multi-stage cluster sampling, completed a Young Schema Questionnaire (YSQ, 1990), The Relationship Belief Inventory (RBI, 1982) and Rahim Organizational Conflict Inventory–II (ROCI-II,1983). Data analysis was performed using structural equation modeling with AMOS software. Finding revealed that direct effect of early maladaptive schemas and effective conflict solving styles (integration style and compromise style) was significant on relationship beliefs (p = 0/001). Also, in the relationship between maladaptive early schemas and relationship beliefs, the effective conflict solving styles had a mediating role (p < 0/01). Therefore, therapists can reduce the impact of relationship beliefs in their clients by evaluating early maladaptive schemas and increasing the skills of effective conflict resolution.

        The aim of the current research was to predict academic satisfaction based on psychological needs with the mediating role of Class-Related Emotion and early maladaptive schemas. In this correlational description, with a random cluster method, 741 students aged 13 to 14 years old in 15th district of Tehran in 1400 were selected as a sample and were asked to answer the basic psychological needs questionnaire of Desi (2000), the Dusseldorf Child Schema Picture Questionnaire (DISC) Luez, Mayer and Petroski (2018), the Class-Related Emotion Scales, derived from the academic emotions questionnaire (AEQ) Pekrun et al (2005) and the academic satisfaction subscale, derived from the multi-dimensional life satisfaction (Höbner, 2001). The data were analyzed using partial least squares (PLS) software. The results showed that psychological needs variable with the mediation of positive and negative academic emotions and initial incompatible plans have a significant effect in explaining academic satisfaction and the overall effect of this change on academic satisfaction is also significant. Therefore, satisfying basic psychological needs can increase positive Class-Related Emotion, decrease negative Class-Related Emotion, and decrease initial incompatible schema and so it can increase academic satisfaction. Based on the results, educational psychologists can simultaneously play an important role in Class-Related Emotion and early maladaptive schemas and improve academic satisfaction by considering the basic psychological needs, and thus they can eliminate the factors that cause them to be discouraged with their lessons and education.

        The purpose of this study was to predict addiction tendency based on early maladaptive schemas, attachment styles and parental patterns in women who use tobacco. For this purpose, 130 women smokers (smokers and hookahs) living in west of Tehran were selected by available sampling method. In order to measure variables, the Ahwaz addiction tendency (Zarger et al.) Questionnaire was used to measure the addiction tendency variable, Yang-Short Form Short Scale (YSQ-SF) Questionnaire to measure the variables of early maladaptive schemas, adult attachment style questionnaire Collins and Reid were used to measure the variables of attachment styles and the parental model questionnaire was used to measure this variable. After completing the questionnaires by the subjects, SPSS-21 software was used to analyze the statistical data in two descriptive and inferential levels. Inferential statistical results showed that the variables of the early maladaptive schemas with defective / shame schemata (β = 286/0), dependency / incompetence (β = 0/208), obedience (β = 0.242) and sacrifice (262 / 0 = β) can predict the tendency to addiction. Also, the variable of attachment style with avoidant style with positive and significant relationship (β = 0.244) and parenting model variables with logical authoritative model with negative and significant relationship (β = -0.444) can be related to addiction tendency in women who consume Tobacco Forecast. The tendency to addiction in tobacco use women is predictable based on early maladaptive schemas, attachment style and parenting pattern. Therefore, it is necessary for researchers, researchers and therapists to focus on reducing the trend towards addiction or leaving people with substance abuse to these variables. Manuscript profile

The tool used for data collection is the questionnaire of early maladaptive schemas (short form YSQ-SF). Statistical indices and methods including mean, standard deviation and independent t-test were used to analyze the data. The results showed a significant difference (0.01) between drug dependent (addicted) and non-dependent groups. The mean scores of early maladaptive schemas were significantly higher in the substance abusers than in the normal subjects. In other words, drug-addicted men have a higher degree of maladaptive core beliefs and maladaptive cognition than non-addicted men. This discrepancy was most evident in early maladaptive schemes such as abandonment, mistrust, mistreatment, defect and shame, vulnerability to harm and disease. Manuscript profile

The participants completed the Loneliness Scale-version 3 (Russell, 1996), Experiences in Close–relationship Structures Questionnaire (FeddernDonbaek & Elklit, 2014) and Short Form of Young Schema Questionnaire (Young & Brown, 1999). Data were analyzed by path analysis method. Results confirmed the mediating role of maladaptive schemas in the relationship between attachment and loneliness. Results also indicated the significant positive effect of avoidant attachment on disconnection, other-directedness, over vigilance/inhibition and impaired limit schemas. The direct effect of avoidant attachment on impaired schema was not significant. The direct effect of anxious attachment on disconnection, impaired performance, other-directedness, and over vigilance/inhibition schemas was positive. However, the direct effect of anxious attachment on the impaired limit was not significant. In addition, the direct effect of avoidant and anxious attachment and disconnection, over vigilance/inhibition on loneliness was positive; and the direct effect of other-directedness scheme on loneliness was negative. The direct effect of impaired performance and impaired limit on loneliness was not significant.

        Sexual variety seeking is a sexual behavior that is characterized by the preoccupation with multiple sexual relationships and, in behavioral domains with the attempt to establish sexual relationships with new people and in different forms. The aim of this study is to provide a structural model to explain the sexual variety seeking based on early maladaptive schemas, parenting styles and moods. In this study, 422 married men from the community of theologians and students of Qom were selected through random sampling method and tested for sexual variety seeking, temperament, early maladaptive schemas, and parenting styles. The results of exploratory, confirmatory and modeling factor analysis of structural equation indicated that early maladaptive schemas (43 percent), paternal parenting styles directly (32%) and indirectly (9%) account for sexual variety seeking. Maternal parenting styles and moods indirectly (respectively 13% and 19%) and through the early maladaptive schemas explain sexual variety seeking. In general, it seems that early maladaptive schemas play an important role in explaining sexual variety seeking. Manuscript profile

        Resilience is one of the main structures of personality for understanding motivation, emotion, behavior and capacity to withstand stress and disaster. Resiliency is defined as a power or an ability to return to early life and beginning of a new condition by reducing stressful pressures or distortion of it and replacing it with joy. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between defensive styles of early maladaptive schemas with resilience. So, in a descriptive study, 250 high school students in Tehran were selected by multistage cluster sampling and were tested in terms of defensive style, early maladaptive schemas, and resilience. The results of multiple regression analyzes indicated that there is a positive correlation between the resilience with mature defense mechanisms and a negative correlation with early maladaptive schemas cuts, rejection, autonomy ,impaired performance, other directed and impaired limitations. Also, it was found that mature and immature defense styles are predictors of resilience and immature defense style predict reduced resilience and early maladaptive schemas of resiliency. It seems that mature defense-style along with maladaptive autonomy schemas, impaired performance, over hyper vigilance and inhibition can also predict the improvement or increase of the resiliency.

        Death anxiety is defined as feelings of panic, anxiety and fear of death and non-existence. The aim of this study is to examine the mediating role of early maladaptive schemas in relation to attachment styles and anxiety of death among patients with cancer. For this purpose, in a descriptive correlational study, 367 patients (140 women and 227 men) were selected through volunteering sampling from cancer patients referred to specialized and oncology centre of Emam Reza, Ghaem Hospital and Omid Hospital in Mashhad between September 93 to August 94. The participants were evaluated for death anxiety level, adult attachment style, and early maladaptive schemas. The results showed that there is a significant relationship between attachment styles and anxiety of death through mediation of early maladaptive schemas, and that early maladaptive schemas have been able to affect, the relationship between attachment styles and the anxiety of death as a mediator variable. Thus, using the psychological interventions for alteration of unhealthy behavioral patterns, and counseling a psychologist to identify and modify the primary schemas, alongside the primary medical techniques, can help to reduce the psychological harm among the cancer patients.

        Although the distinction between conditional and unconditional schemas by theoretical and clinical application is very important, previous studies have only provided some preliminary evidence for the development of schemas by conditionality, and few studies have examined the distinction between conditional and unconditional schemas. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of sources of childhood emotional maltreatment (parent’s, peer’s and others’ emotional maltreatment in childhood) in predicting of conditional and unconditional schemas in adulthood. For this purpose in a descriptive correlational study, 315 students were selected from students of Tehran universities (University of social welfare and rehabilitation science, Khajenasir University, Shahid Beheshti University, Azad University, Payame Noor University) with available sampling selected and were examined on life experiences and maladaptive schemas questionnaires. The result of multiple regression analysis showed that parent’s and peer’s emotional maltreatment predicted unconditional schemas and parent’s, peer’s and other’s emotional maltreatment predicted conditional schemas in college students. It seems that, maltreatment of sources that are more persistence and intensity in the person’s life, are stronger predictors in predicting conditional and unconditional schemas. Because sources of maltreatment that have a role in developing unconditional schemas, certainly have also a role in predicting conditional schemas. Manuscript profile

        Early maladaptive schemas are patterns or deep themes, pervasive and inefficient which are formed in childhood or adolescence. They continue in adulthood and they act on the deepest level of cognition in which usually a person is not aware of .The Schemas make people who are prone to depression, anxiety, and dysfunctional interpersonal relationships and psycho-somatic get hurt. The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of personality dimensions and early maladaptive schemas in predicting depression. For this purpose in a descriptive study, correlation type, 384 patients (201 women, 172 men, 11 unknown) were selected based on the available samples from Zanjan and Lorestan University. They were tested regarding the early maladaptive schemas, personality traits and depression. Analysis of the regression indicated that maladaptive schemas are positively correlated with neuroticism factor and they are negatively correlated with four factors of extraversion, openness to experience, agreement and dutifulness. Selective maladaptive schemas were able to explain 27% of the depression variance. Given the current findings it can be said that neurotics is an important factor in formation of the maladaptive schemas. Manuscript profile

        Chronic Pain is a weakening condition which not only exposes the person suffering to stress due to pain, but also encounters him or her with continuous tension and influences various aspects of his or her life and disturb it. The aim of the study, was prediction of Alexithymia based on early Maladaptive Schemas and Perfectionism with the Mediating role of Cognitive Flexibility in people with Chronic Pain. For this purpose, from the patients with Chronic Patients who have referred to Tehran hospitals, 300 people were chosen be convenience sampling and assessed regarding Alexithymia, Early Maladaptive Schemas, Perfectionism, and cognitive flexibility. Results of route analysis showed Cognitive Flexibility with the rate of 0.23 has negative effect on Alexithymia (p < 0.05). Among the areas of early Maladaptive Schemas, only the area of disrupted limitations in explanation of Alexithymia variance has 0.13 positive effect (p < 0.01). Another finding of the study showed that Maladaptive Perfectionism has the rate of -0.279 effect in explanation variance of Alexithymia (p < 0.01); and Adaptive Perfectionism in explanation of Cognitive Flexibility variance, has effect with the rate of 0.139 (P < 0.05). Ultimately, indirect effect of Adaptive Perfectionism with the effect rate of -0.035 on Alexithymia through Cognitive Flexibility is meaningful (P < 0.05). Manuscript profile
