Objective: In recent years, interpersonal relationships have become more complex and increasing number of people suffers from seclusion and loneliness. Early maladaptive schemas (EMSs), important cognitive structures, are expected to have a profound effect on interpersonal relationships. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between EMSs and interpersonal problems among university students.Methods: This study was a cross-sectional correlational study. A total of 150 female students selected using snowball sampling method out of Rasht universities and completed the Short Form of Young Schema Questionnaire (SF-YSQ) and the 64-item Inventory of Interpersonal Problems (IIP-32). For data analysis, Pearson correlation coefficient test and stepwise regression were administered. SPSS-20 was used for statistical analysis.Results: Results showed positive significant correlations between EMSs’ domains, especially the domains of disconnection/rejection and impaired autonomy and performance with interpersonal problems.Conclusion: Given the important role of EMSs in interpersonal relationships, and the significant role of interpersonal relationships in psychological adjustment, further investigations on this field seem necessary.

According to various studies, loneliness and failure in fulfilling the need for belongingness will lead to adverse outcomes, such as low self-esteem, depression, reduced social relationships, low interpersonal self-efficacy, lack of self-regulation, neurosis, perception of low self-con- trol, reduced social behavior, and increased aggression (Wilhelm, Boyce, & Brownhill, 2004; Butler, Doherty, & Potter, 2007; Ayduk, Gyurak, & Luerssen, 2008; Gaertner, Iuzzini, & O’Mara, 2008).
Up to now, various studies have indicated significant association between EMSs/EMSs-related constructs and social relationships (Koch, 2002; Ponce, Williams, & Allen, 2004; Pinto-Gouveia, Castilho, Galhard, & Cunha, 2006; Massman-Moore & Coates, 2007; Gaffey, 2009; Amani & Esfandiari, 2012; Attari, Nemati Yazdi, MirDorghi, Erfan, & Adabi, 2012).
, 2009; Breen & Kashdan, 2011), shame (Kim, Talbot, & Cicchetti, 2009; Hasanvande Amoozadeh, Shaeeri, & Asghari Moghadam, 2012), per- fectionism (Sherry, Law, Hewitt, Flett, & Besser, 2008; Ye, Rice, & Storch, 2008), entitlement and narcissism (Ogrodniczuk, Piper, Joyce, Steinberg, & Duggal, 2009; Mueller, Degen, Petitjean, Wiesbeck, & Walter, 2009), and factors like parent-child relationship (Robinson, 2000), maltreatment experiences (Gaffey, 2005; Gaffey, 2009), and childhood trauma (Drapeau & Perry, 2004).
Because of the important role of culture in interpersonal behaviors, and given the inconsistencies between previous findings, current study aimed to investigate the relationship be- tween EMSs and interpersonal problems in an Iranian college student sample.
