Introduction: Increase of job satisfaction and reduction of job burnout are among the most challenging concepts in the field of occupation / organization. They are also considered as the basis of many policies to increase the productivity and efficiency of an organization. One of the most important causative factors of burnout is personality traits. In this context, schemas, as the personality traits described in personality development psychology, play a significant role. Therefore, investigating the relationship between these transformational patterns and occupational burnout can be considered as an essential issue in the field of occupational healthMethods: This descriptive study was conducted on 220 personnel of Public Health School in Yazd Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences. The participants were selected using simple random sampling method and the data were collected using the Maslach Job Burnout Questionnaire and the Young Short-form Short-Scale Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Spss 20 by applying the central tendency indicators, t-test, and Pearson's correlation coefficient to test the hypotheses.Results: The results of this study showed a negative but significant relationship between most of the early maladaptive schemas and the two subscales of burnout (emotional exhaustion and depersonalization). The results also showed a positive and significant relationship between the schema score of release / instability and individual performance (r = 0.206, p-value = 038.Conclusion: According to the results of our study, it can be said that some of the areas of early maladaptive schemas cause stress in the university personnel and repetition of these stresses causes burnout. Therefore, understanding these areas and planning to prevent and control them are practically required to promote organizational productivity in the field of occupational and industrial research.

Job burnout can lead to staff dissatisfaction and negative effects on the other aspects of their life including social, personal and family aspects. Job burnout psychological syndrome includes emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and reducing the personal performance. Early maladaptive schemas are self-harm emotional and cognitive patterns which have formed at the beginning of the evolution of the mind and are repeated in the course of individual and social life. Teaching is a stressful occupation and if teachers have false beliefs from their past, they will be more at the risk of job burnout. In this study we have dealt with studying the relationship between theearly maladaptive schemas and guidance school teachers’ job burnout. This descriptive-correlation study has been done on 312 people who have selected through classified random sampling method with the population of 2422 male and female teachers. The data collection tool included Young maladaptive schemas 75 questions short form (YSQ-SF) and Maslach 22 questions burnout form (MBI).Data were analyzed through correlation coefficient and regression analysis. There was significant and positive correlation between early maladaptive schemas and the job burnout (r = 0/05). There was also significant and positive correlation between early maladaptive schemas and emotional exhaustion components, personal performance (lack of personal success) and teachers’ depersonalization (r = 0/05). According to the results, early maladaptive schemas play an important role in the occurrence of teachers’ job burnout. Teachers should be constantly under psychological counseling.

Objectives: Early maladaptive schemas are self-destructive emotional and cognitive patterns that have been formed at the beginning of development and are repeated in life. Since early maladaptive schemas can be the most predictive of addiction and social networking addiction is also considered as an injury or complication. This study aimed to determine the relationship between early maladaptive schemas and social network addiction among students. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 350 students of Semnan University of Medical Sciences. In this study, Yang’s Short Form Questionnaire and the questionnaire of social network s addiction based on mobile were used. Data were analyzed by the Chi-square test and logistic regression. Results: There were 186 (53.2%) students who had social network addiction. Of them, 215 (61.4%) had at least one early maladaptive schema. The gender of the woman (OR=0.35, P=0.021), age over 21 years (OR=0.56, P<0.001), the formation of the schema of recognition (OR=0.54, P=0.01) and the formation of the schema entitlement (OR=0.47, P=0.002) with the reduction and the formation of the schema of social isolation / emotional inhibition (OR=2.94, P=0.006) was accompanied with increasing of the chance of being addicted to social networks. Conclusion: The results showed that some of the individual characteristics and the formation of some of the schemas are associated with decreasing and increasing the chance of addiction to social networks.

Background: The literature has shown a significant association between traumatic experiences and eating psychopathology, showing a greater symptomatology in patients with trauma history. Less is known about the associations between trauma and cognitive schemas, and personality traits and the differences between childhood and adulthood trauma experiences. Thus, this paper aims to assess the clinical and psychological characteristics of eating disorder (ED) patients, looking for differences between patients without a history of trauma and patients with trauma experiences, as well as at possible differences between exposure in childhood, adulthood, or repeated events. Another aim of the paper is to evaluate the possible mediation role of cognitive schemas and personality traits in the relationship between early trauma and eating psychopathology.Methods: From January to November 2020, 115 consecutive inpatients admitted for a specific multidisciplinary ED treatment in a dedicated Unit were evaluated for trauma, differentiating between trauma occurring in childhood and adulthood. The subjects were evaluated for early maladaptive schemas (EMS), personality traits, trauma symptomatology, quality of life, and specific psychopathologies linked to EDs. Mediation analyses between childhood and adulthood trauma and eating psychopathology were performed, with EMS and personality traits as mediators.Results: Patients with a history of trauma showed higher physical and psychological symptomatology scores, with a more impaired clinical profile in patients with both childhood and adulthood trauma exposure. The mediation analysis showed a specific mediator role for the “disconnection and rejection (DR)” EMS factor in the relationship between childhood trauma (cT) and eating psychopathology.Conclusion: Trauma experiences are associated with more severe clinical symptomatology in EDs and may need a specific assessment in patients with failed outpatient standard treatments. Specific cognitive schemas linked to DR domain should be evaluated in treatments for ED patients with history of trauma due to the mediation role between trauma and eating psychopathology. The need for outcome studies about treatment approaches for ED patients with history of trauma is discussed.

The present study examined the relationship between cognitive vulnerabilities, coping strategy, and emotional response to athletic injury among 40 NCAA Division I injured athletes. It was hypothesized that the presence of early maladaptive schemas (EMS) and avoidant coping strategies would predict greater emotional distress among injured athletes. Early maladaptive schemas were assessed by the Young Schema Questionnaire-Short Form, which injured athletes completed upon injury. Coping strategies were measured by the Coping Response Inventory Adult Form, which was completed upon the completion of recovery. The Profile of Mood States was used to assess mood, and was completed during three phases of injury: upon injury, middle of rehabilitation, and upon recovery. As predicted, hierarchical multiple regression analysis demonstrate that EMSs and avoidance-focused coping were associated with higher levels of negative mood among injured athletes. The results also indicate that the relationship between EMS and mood vary based on the phase of injury, suggesting that different EMSs are differentially related to subtle differences in stressors encountered during each phase of the injury process.

Introduction: Although fear of darkness is most common in childhood, it is also a remarkable phenomenon in young adulthood. Aim: To examine the relationship between fear of darkness, early maladaptive schemas and attachment quality in young adults and assess fear related sex differences. Method: A self-developed scale was used to measure fear of darkness’ intensity and frequency. Young Schema Questionnaire – Short Form and two scales that measure attachment dimensions were also applied. 120 university students (68 women, 52 men) filled in the tests. Results: Fear of darkness’ frequency correlated with avoidant attachment, and intensity with independent and anxious attachment. Fear of darkness variables correlated with several early maladaptive schemas. Women reported more frequent and intensive fear of darkness than men. Conclusions: These results indicated that the elevated level of fear of darkness is related to specific cognitive style and attachment quality. This highlights the potential clinical relevance of fear of darkness. Orv. Hetil., 2014, 155(49), 1967–1972.

Nowadays, the addiction is considered as one of the main interests in the human life. Increasing trend of addiction results in several interests and problems for many countries and societies during past century. Indeed, addiction is a physical, mental, and social illness that there are several effective factors in its formation such as personal, inter-personal, environmental, and social factors. It is one of the most important factors in destroying citizens’ health. In other words, addiction is a destructive and persistent illness that not only results in person’s death, but also destroys his/her family and society. This study is a cross-sectional descriptive-analysis research. The authors of this study attempt to examine the relationship between early maladaptive schemas of cuts-exclusion and slip among addicts abusing drugs under methadone maintenance treatment. In order to select the sample members, about 200 patients (100 patients with slip and 100 patients without slip) were selected from patients in the public clinics of Shiraz city. The sample patients should have pass at least 6 weeks of their treatment period. The sampling method was convenience sampling method. In order to test the patients’ positive or negative slip degree, they were under test monthly. A questionnaire and Young schema have been used for collecting the research data. The results of this study revealed that there is a significant relationship between abandonment scheme, distrust/misbehavior, defection/shame, social isolation/alienation, andextent of slip. Another part of the results revealed that there is not any significant relationship between emotional exclusion schema and extent of slip. With regard to the significant relationship between early maladaptive schemas and slip in the drug users that were under treat, it seems that the treatment scheme can be helpful in such patients for decreasing their slip and improving their health.

Background and Objective: The present study aimed to compare early maladaptive schemas between individuals with and without substance use disorder (SUD) in Hamadan, Iran. Materials and Methods: The present causal-comparative study was conducted on a total of 200 individuals with and without SUD referring to the addiction treatment centers in Hamadan, Iran, during 2016. The participants were selected based on the stratified random sampling method. In addition, the required data were collected through the Young’s Schema Questionnaire Short Form and analyzed using the independent samples t-test by SPSS software (version 22). Results: The obtained results indicated a significant difference in early maladaptive schemas between the participants with and without SUD. Accordingly, the scores of early maladaptive schemas of the subjects with SUD were generally higher than those reported for the participants without SUD (df=198; the p-value of the first column<0.05; the lowest and highest p-values of Levene’s test reported as 0.000 and 0.542, respectively). Conclusions: There was a significant difference between the scores of early maladaptive schemas in individuals with and without SUD. Accordingly, the frequency of early maladaptive schemas of the participants with SUD was generally greater than that reported for those without SUD.
