EARLY MALADAPTIVE SCHEMAS WELL-BEING AND SELF-CONSTRUALS

The present study aimed to examine associations of psychological well-being with early maladaptive schemas and self-construals. In the study having strong characteristics of schema domains were found to be related to low levels of self-orientation dimensions of interpersonal integration orientation and intrapersonal differentiation orientation. There was a positive correlation between having strong characteristics of schema domains and high depression negative affect and reassurance-seeking but low positive affect. Additionally low level of related individuation self-construal was related to having high characteristics of schema domains. In addition to this having high level of separated-patterning was positively correlated with having high characteristics of schema domains. In addition self-construal of related- individuation was found to be related to high positive affect and correlated with low depression negative affect and reassurance-seeking levels. Finally separated-patterning was found to be related to low level of positive affect while it was found to be correlated with high level of depression negative affect and reassurance-seeking.
