Early Maladaptive Schemas and Life Satisfication

Early maladaptive schemas might affect some personality traits that influence individuals’ emotional reactions to life satisfaction. A sample of individuals (N=167) from the general population in Shiraz, Iran, were randomly collected to study the relationship between early maladaptive schemas and life satisfaction. Accordingly, they were asked to complete the Young Schema Questionnaire-Short Form (75-items version) and satisfaction with life scale (5-items). Pearson correlation analysis technique was utilized to reflect the degree to which the variables were related. Findings imply that among all those schemas, the most correlations were found between Self-sacrifice, Unrelenting standards, and Dependence/incompetence schemas with life satisfaction, respectively. Whereas, Emotional deprivation schema did not show any clear association with life satisfaction. The results of the present research indicate that some early maladaptive schemas can be used for prediction of life satisfaction
