Abstract

This study aimed to explain the mediating role of cognitive emotion regulation for maladaptive schemas and positive affects in girls of Marvdasht Azad University. The present study was descriptive and correlational. The statistical population included all female students of Marvdasht Azad University who were studying in the academic year 2018-2019. Participants in the study were 299 female students of different faculties of Marvdasht Azad University who were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling. Data were analyzed using the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire by Garnowski et al. (2001), Watson et al. (1988) and Young's maladaptive schemas (1998), which confirmed the validity and reliability of the instrument. Data analysis was performed using 24spss software at both descriptive and inferential levels. To investigate the studied hypotheses, Baron and Kenny method and multiple regression in inter manner and hierachical regression were used to study hypothesis. The findings of the research showed that positive and negative cognitive emotion regulation has a mediating role in relationship between maladaptive schemas and positive emotions.
