Abstract
Interpersonal relationship other sex, has an important effect in youth psychological wellness and successful marriage. This study purpose is to investigate the part of each of maladaptive schemas in determining of quality of friendship or intimate relationship with other sex. Participants were 196 single female students with a friendship with other sex. Participants were chosen by cluster sampling from Karaj universities. They answered to three questionnaires: early maladaptive schemas, short form (young, 2006) quality of relationship scale (Sarason, 1983). Statistic methods were correlation and step by step regression. Findings concealed the negative effect of maladaptive schemas on quality of relationship. "Subjugation" determined 16% of conflict. Mistrust /abuse determined 36% of low perceived support, while self-sacrifice and insufficient Self-Control/Self-Discipline determined 5% of low perceived support. Social isolation determined 10%, and enmeshed self 4% of low depth. According to the results of this study, it will be beneficial to emphasize on these discovered schemas to determine the client's vulnerability in close relationship with other sex. And also to improve their relationships with increasing self-awareness, teaching interpersonal skill and schema therapy.

Abstract
Clinical and epidemiological studies have proved the role of cognitive processes in the formation and continuity of social anxiety. This study aimed to predict the social anxiety symptoms among adolescents based on the early maladaptive schemas and cognitive distortions. Population included all junior high-school students in Marivan city and among whom 400 students (200 males and 200 females) were selected as samples. To select sample size, the researcher referred to the selected high schools and distributed Connor’s social phobia index questionnaire among students who were suspicious of suffering from social anxiety (diagnosed by schools consultants and consistent with symptoms indicated in DSM-V). Upon the completion of the questionnaire, the students with confirmed social anxiety disorder were randomly selected as the sampling of the study. Data were gathered using social anxiety questionnaire, early maladaptive schemas questionnaire (short form) and cognitive distortions questionnaire. The collected data analyzed using Structural Equation Model. The results showed the structural model was fit. Five areas of the early maladaptive schemas (disconnection and rejection, impaired autonomy and performance, impaired limits, directedness, over-vigilance, and inhibition) can predict 63% of social anxiety. There was a direct and significant correlation between the variables of the early maladaptive schemas and social anxiety. Bootstrapping analysis revealed cognitive distortions served as a mediator between the early maladaptive schemas and social anxiety symptoms. The results of this study supported the role of the early maladaptive schemas as a vulnerability factor in social anxiety and the role of cognitive distortions as a linking mechanism between the early maladaptive schemas and social anxiety.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating role of experiential avoidance in relationship of early maladaptive schemas with illness anxiety. The research was carried out using correlation method on 308 students of Qazvin University who were selected with convenience sampling method. Data were collected using Early maladaptive Scheme (Young), hypochondrias (Evans) and Acceptance and Action Questionnaires (Hayes). Results showed a significant role of schemas of impaired autonomy - performance and impaired limits domains in illness anxiety. Also, the role of vulnerability to harm or illness and entitlement/undeveloped schemas was significant predictor of illness anxiety. The results of hierarchical regression showed that the mediating role of experiential avoidance in the relationship between vulnerability to harm or illness and entitlement/ undeveloped schemas with illness anxiety severity was significant. It could be concluded the experiential avoidance and early maladaptive schemas were contributed in the maintenance of illness anxiety.

Abstract
| The present research aimed to model the structural equations of marital burnout based on early maladaptive schemas, marital expectations, and emotional information processing, with the mediating role of sexual self-concept in women seeking divorce in Shiraz. The present research was a correlational descriptive study of the structural equation modeling type. The statistical population of this research consisted of all women seeking divorce who were referred to family courts in the year 1402. From the statistical population, 320 individuals were selected using a multi-stage random sampling method. The research tools included the Pines Marital Burnout Questionnaire (1996), the Young Schema Questionnaire (2003), the Hope and Colleagues Marital Expectations Questionnaire (1389), the Baker Emotional Information Processing Questionnaire (2007), and the Snell Sexual Self-Concept Questionnaire (1995). The collected data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results obtained from the direct relationships of the research variables indicated that there is a positive and significant relationship between early maladaptive schemas, marital expectations, and emotional information processing with marital burnout. Additionally, early maladaptive schemas, marital expectations, and emotional information processing have a positive and significant indirect effect on marital burnout through sexual self-concept. Based on the findings of the research, it can be concluded that sexual self-concept, as a mediating variable, was able to explain the relationship between early maladaptive schemas, marital expectations, and emotional information processing. |

Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of schema therapy on improving job satisfaction and strengthening organizational commitment among employees of an autism center with early maladaptive schemas. This research was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest control group design. The statistical population included all employees of the autism center during the period from Mehr to Aban 1404 (October-November 2025). Among these, 30 employees who obtained high scores on the Young Schema Questionnaire-Short Form (YSQ-SF) in the initial screening were selected using purposive sampling and were randomly assigned to an experimental group (n=15) and a control group (n=15). The experimental group underwent 10 sessions of schema therapy intervention, while the control group remained on a waiting list. The research instruments included the Spector Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) and the Allen & Meyer Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ). Data analysis was performed using repeated measures analysis of variance. The results showed that schema therapy produced a significant difference in the dependent variables. By modifying maladaptive schemas, this intervention led to increased levels of job satisfaction and strengthened dimensions of organizational commitment among employees of the autism center compared to the control group. Given the high occupational stress in autism rehabilitation centers, schema therapy, through reconstructing employees' cognitive and emotional systems, can be used as an effective intervention to prevent burnout, enhance job satisfaction, and increase organizational loyalty.
