Abstract :
The aim of the present study was Network Analysis of Young's Early Maladaptive Schemas. sampling method was non-random with maximum variation, the sample size was 849 people and research tool was Young's Early Maladaptive Schemas Questionnaire (YSQ-L3). Network analysis, R software and Qgragh package were used for data analysis. The results showed that according to the shape of the drawing network, only the schemas of one domain (disconnection and Rejection) correspond to Young's domain and There are differences in the other 4 domains (Impaired Autonomy and Performance, Impaired limits, Other- directedness and Over vigilance/Inhibition). The importance of these findings is on the one hand in the field of clinical and schema therapy approach and on the other hand in the field of psychometrics and localization of diagnostic tools.
