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.

ABSTRACT Young's early maladaptive schemas questionnaire (YSQ-S3) is used to understand psychological aspects. Objective: EMSs were evaluated in patients with migraine. Methods: Sixty-five subjects were evaluated using the YSQ-S3 under standard conditions in a room with air conditioning at 22 ± 2°C. The subjects were stratified by morbidity (migraine), gender (male/female) and age (18-29 / 30-39 / 40-55). Controls (without migraine), n = 27 and patients (with migraine), n = 38, men (n = 19) and women (n = 46); participants aged 18-29 years, n = 34, aged 30-39 years, n = 14 and aged 40-55 years, n = 17. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test, with p-values <0.05. Results were expressed as percentages in contingency tables. Results: There was a significant association between migraine and female gender (84.21%; p-value <0.05, Table 1), between hypervigilance and inhibition, and unrelenting standards (56.52%; p-value <0.0.014, Table 2) and female gender with migraine. Moreover, there was a significant association between hypervigilance and inhibition, and unrelenting standards (73.68%; p-value <0.0001) and self-punishment (84.21%; p-value <0.0001) in patients with migraine of both genders (Table 3). Conclusion: The individuals with migraine had a psychological profile of being overly demanding with themselves and others and self-punishing, where this was more frequent in women.

The original version of the Schema Questionnaire (205 items) was developed by Young to measure early maladaptive schemas. The Schema Questionnaire-Short Form (SQ-SF) was designed (Young, 1998) to measure 15 maladaptive schemas and is a shorter instrument (75 items). Factor analytic research with the SQ-SF has supported the schemas proposed by Young (Welburn, Coristine, Dagg, Pontrefact, & Jordan, 2002). The present study examined the psychometric properties of the French version of the SQ-SF in a nonclinical sample (N = 263). The results of the factor analysis revealed 14 interpretable factors, including 13 of the 15 schema subscales proposed by Young. These 14 subscales demonstrated moderate to good internal consistency. These results are in part consistent with previous results based on the English version of the SQ-SF and provided support for the cross-cultural validity of the SQ-SF.

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.

Abstract. Early Maladaptive Schemas, as measured with the Young Schema Questionnaire (YSQ), are proposed to underlie a variety of mental health problems, in particular Personality Disorders. The latest short version of the instrument measuring all 18 schemas, the YSQ-S3, has only been examined to a limited extent, and its associations with Personality Disorders have not yet been tested in a psychiatric setting. We investigated psychometric properties of the Danish YSQ-S3 including its associations with Personality Disorders. A mixed Danish sample of clinical and nonclinical participants (N = 567) completed the YSQ-S3, whereas a clinical subsample (n = 142) was also assessed with a diagnostic interview for Personality Disorders. We performed reliability analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, regression analysis, and tested for group differences using analysis of variance. The Danish YSQ-S3 proved to be a reliable and valid measure. Its theoretical factorial structure was weakly but sufficiently supported. Its scales were meaningfully associated with specific Personality Disorders and discriminated between relevant groups. We conclude that the YSQ-S3 is a psychometrically valuable instrument for the assessment of Early Maladaptive Schemas in both clinical and research settings. Findings are discussed in relation to Personality Disorders and the Schema Therapy model.

ObjectThe aim of this study was to compare early maladaptive schemas, emotion regulation and general health in offender prisoner men and normal group men.MethodsThe study method was causal – comparative (ex post facto). Participants included two groups: (1) all of offender prisoner men (n = 47) in Fooman jail and (2) normal group men (n = 47) in Fooman. Both groups were matched for age, occupation and education. All of the participants completed Young maladaptive schema questionnaire (Y MSQ), cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire (CERQ-P) and general health questionnaire (GHQ-12) individually. Data were analysed using independent t-test and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA).FindingThere was significant difference between two groups in total score of early maladaptive schema questionnaire and also in its subscales included abandonment, impaired autonomy/performance, impaired limits, other – directedness, over vigilance/inhibition, emotional inhibition (P < 0/01). The general health was different between groups, too. In addition, while groups showed significant difference in total score of emotion regulation and one of the subscales (rumination), no significant difference was explored between groups in self-blame, acceptance, positive refocusing, planning refocusing, positive re-evaluation, perspective taking, catastrophizing and others blame.ConclusionSignificant differences between the two groups in terms of general health, schema dimensions and emotional regulation dimensions suggest that dysfunctional schemas, maladaptive emotional strategies and low general health could be involved in criminal behaviour.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

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.

Background: Scrupulosity or religious obsession is a form of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and is recognized to be treatment-resistant. One of the most common treatments for treatment-resistant disorders is schema therapy. Objectives: This study aimed to compare the early maladaptive schemas and schema modes of individuals with high and low scores in scrupulosity, as well as religious people with no disorder. Methods: The population of this cross-sectional study consisted of all patients with OCD referred to Iran Psychiatric Hospital and the Clinic of Behavioral Sciences and Mental Health in Tehran, Iran, in 2019. The sample included 75 individuals with high score in scrupulosity, 75 individuals with low score in scrupulosity, and 75 religious people with no disorder. At first, all participants were evaluated with the structured clinical interview for DSM-5 disorders-clinical version (SCID-5-CV). Then, they completed the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS), Penn Inventory of Scrupulosity (PIOS), Young Schema Questionnaire-Short Form (YSQ-SF), and Schema Mode Inventory (SMI). Data were analyzed using the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Kruskal-Wallis test. Results: Individuals with high scores in scrupulosity were significantly different from normal religious people in the "disconnection and rejection" and "impaired autonomy and performance" schema domains. However, there was no significant difference between individuals with high scores in scrupulosity and those with a low score in any of the schema domains. Also, individuals with a high score in scrupulosity scored higher in almost all schema modes compared to normal religious people. Finally, the "punitive and demanding parent modes" of individuals with a high score in scrupulosity was significantly different from that of individuals with a low score. Conclusions: According to our results, it is essential to focus on "disconnection and rejection" and "impaired autonomy and performance" schema domains, as well as child and parent modes, especially the dysfunctional parent mode, to treat individuals with a high scrupulosity score. Due to limited literature, further research is needed to confirm our results.

Background: Physical activity is one of the leading health indicators, considered an essential factor in the population's health and quality of life promotion. Physical inactivity is the fourth leading risk factor for global mortality. Physical inactivity has been linked with chronic disease and obesity in most populations. This study aims to compare the prevalence of physical activity and overweight/obesity among students of the university. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted from March to September 2019 on undergraduate students from different departments of Peshawar University. A sample of 377 (male n = 243, female n = 134) was taken through convenience sampling. Those individuals who were physically disabled and not willing to participate were excluded from the study. Those meeting the inclusion criteria were given the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ short form). Demographic data included age, weight, and height was self-stated by the participants. The levels of physical activity in each of three domains (leisure, transport, and domestic) were calculated and presented as metabolic equivalent (M.E.T.) hour per week in the form of means, percentage, and frequency in different physical activity domains. Results: The overall sample showed that 13.70% of participants were inactive, 27.76% showed a low level of physical activity, 41.29% showed moderate physical activity level, and 17.24% showed a high level of physical activity. A total of 90.98% of participants were involved in leisure physical activities, 93.10% presented transport-related physical activity, and 74.80% were involved in domestic-related physical activity. Average time spent during sitting was found to be 53.32 hrs/week and 7.61 hrs/ day, with females being more involved in sitting activities as compared to males. A significant difference was found between B.M.I. and sitting domain (p-value 0.002) with a Pearson value of -0.12 showing a negative correlation. Conclusion: The B.M.I. and Physical Activity are found negatively associated with each other. Male students were more physically active than females as females spend their majority of time sitting. It is concluded that students are moderately active, while a minimal percent of students are highly active. There were a few numbers of respondents too who were physically inactive, which shows that there is still unawareness of physical activity on the university level.

This study describes the development and initial evaluation of a cognitive schema questionnaire for children. The Schema Questionnaire for Children (SQC) was designed to capture the 15 early maladaptive schemas proposed by Young (1990). Face validity of the questionnaire items as assessed by a group of CBT experts (n=16) was good. Concurrent validity was assessed by asking 47 school children aged 11–16 years of age to complete both the (SQC) and a British version of the 75 item Young's Schema Questionnaire short form (YSC-S). Significant correlations were obtained for 10 of the 15 schemas, with a further two approaching statistical significance. Although some of the correlations were modest, these initial results suggest that the SQC may be a valid quick and developmentally appropriate way of assessing Young's maladaptive schema in children.

Background: Rapidly improving stroke symptoms (RISS) is a frequently cited reason for not giving IV rt-PA. However, prior studies have suggested that outcome of acute ischemic stroke patients presenting with RISS is not invariably benign. This raises the possibility that stroke-related disability may be relatively common after RISS. Objective: To explore both discharge disposition and 3-month CT lesion volume in patients with and without RISS based on various pre-specified definitions in The NINDS rt-PA Stroke Study cohort. Methods: The NINDS rt-PA Stroke Study dataset was used to compare baseline to 2-hour NIH Stroke Scale scores (NIHSSS). We calculated baseline NIHSSS - 2hr NIHSSS (positive = improvement [IMP], negative = worsening). Definitions of RISS were raw change in NIHSSS (≥ 4 point IMP) and percent change in NIHSSS (≥ 25% IMP and ≥ 50% IMP). Chi-square and multiple logistic regression modeling were used to assess the association of RISS with outcomes measures. Discharge disposition included: home; relative/friend; rehabilitation; nursing home; death; other. CT lesion volume was based on the 3-month CT scan as previously calculated as a pre-specified secondary outcome of the 2 trials. Results: In the 624 subjects, RISS frequency depended on definition used. Frequencies (all %s) of RISS compared to no-RISS who were discharged Home were 55 vs. 30 for ≥ 4 point IMP, 64 vs. 23 for ≥ 25% IMP, and 78 vs. 30 for ≥ 50% IMP. Frequencies for Discharge to Rehabilitation (RISS vs. no-RISS) were: 1 vs. 36, 14 vs. 41, and 10 vs. 36. Nursing Home discharge frequencies were: 5 vs. 11, 4 vs. 12, and 1 vs. 11. Across all definitions of RISS there was a significant difference in discharge status favoring RISS (all p values < 0.001). Three-month CT lesion volumes (cm3): for RISS ≥ 4 point IMP were: 7.51 [95% Confidence Interval (CI): 1.52, 12.34] vs. no-RISS 19.95 (CI: 2.71, 26.42); for RISS ≥ 25%: 4.64 (CI: 1.07, 7.41) vs. no-RISS 25.96 (CI: 2.99, 33.96); for RISS ≥ 50% IMP: 3.14 (CI: 0.44, 6.36) vs. no-RISS 19.75 (CI: 2.73, 25.50). All p values <0.001.There were no statistically significant rt-PA treatment interactions for CT volume (lowest p-value 0.28) and for discharge status (lowest p-value 0.13). Conclusions: Post hoc exploratory analyses suggest that based on all definitions of RISS used, those patients with RISS were consistently and significantly discharged to a more favorable location than those without RISS. These findings were also consonant with CT lesion volumes at 3 months being significantly smaller for each definition of RISS vs. no RISS. However, while patients with RISS do better in these exploratory outcomes, they still commonly have evidence of cerebral infarction and approximately 2 of 3 with ≥ 4 point IMP and 1 in 5 with at least 50% IMP are not discharged home.
