چکیده:
Aim: The main purpose of this study was to investigate the multiple relationships between early
maladaptive schemas (EMS) and coping styles with anxiety. Methods: This was a descriptivecorrelational.
Therefore, a study sample consisted of 200 students, from the Islamic Azad University of Karaj, were
chosen using multistage cluster sampling method. The research instruments were Beck Anxiety
Inventory, a short form of young early maladaptive schema, and short form of the coping inventory
for stressful situations. Result: The statistical analysis results indicated that there was a significant
positive relationship between EMS and emotion‑oriented coping with anxiety, and there was a
significant negative relationship between task‑oriented copings with anxiety. Moreover, also EMS
including mistrust‑abuse, vulnerability to harm and illness, and social isolation‑alienation were able
to predict anxiety. Conclusions: With the increase of mistrust‑abuse, the vulnerability to harm and
illness and social isolation‑alienation, anxiety also increases. The emotion‑oriented life style would ease
stressful events and has the ability to predict anxiety. In contrast, individuals with task‑oriented coping
style either overcome the problem or minimize it by managing wants, internal and environmental
conflicts, with the change and reform and regulating the source of stress. Thus, it can be concluded
that changes in these variables would be associated with changes in anxiety.

com ABSTRACT Aim: The main purpose of this study was to investigate the multiple relationships between early maladaptive schemas (EMS) and coping styles with anxiety.
The research instruments were Beck Anxiety Inventory, a short form of young early maladaptive schema, and short form of the coping inventory for stressful situations.
Investigation of the multiple relationships between early maladaptive schemas and coping styles with anxiety.
[8] Researches done show that emotion‑oriented coping styles are correlated to negative aspects of health such as depression and anxiety[9,10] compared with the task‑oriented coping that is accompanied with positive psycho‑social adaptation and greater well‑being.
[13,14] Seyyed Khorasani Sadaghiani and Saghatyzad Sorkhab showed that emotion‑oriented and avoidance‑oriented coping could play an important role as effective factors in establishing negative effects such as depression, anxiety and stress.
Therefore, primary aim of this study was to evaluate the relationships between EMS and coping styles with anxiety.
All participants completed questionnaires including the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), the schema questionnaire‑short form (SQ‑SF), and short form of the coping inventory for stressful situations (CISS).
This result is consistent with the research results of Ball and International Journal of Educational and Psychological Researches / Vol 2 / Issue 1 / January-March 2016 51 )view the image of this page)In the analysis of the relationship between mistrust‑abuse with anxiety, it is noteworthy that individuals with this schema believe others are harmful, annoying, dishonest, and insincere and if they find opportunities, they would certainly exploit them.
