Investigating the Relationship between Non-Conditional Maladaptive Schemas and Conditional Maladaptive Schemas among Students of Tehran Universities

Given the importance of distinguishing between non-contingent and contingent patterns in the course of pattern therapy, the aim of this research is to investigate the relationship between non-contingent and contingent patterns. For this purpose, a total of ۴۲۲ students from three universities, namely Allameh Tabataba'i, Shahid Beheshti, and the Central Unit of the Azad University in Tehran, were selected using multi-stage cluster sampling. To collect data, the short form of the Young Schema Questionnaire (۱۹۹۸) [۱] was used. The data were then analyzed using correlation analysis. The results indicate a significant positive relationship between non-contingent and contingent patterns (r = ۰.۵۳۰). Moreover, a significant positive relationship was found between all domains of non-contingent patterns (abandonment and instability, impaired autonomy, and other-directedness) and all domains of contingent patterns (impaired limits, other-directedness, and overvigilance). With an increase in contingent patterns, non-contingent patterns also increase. Furthermore, the results suggest that the predictability of contingent patterns by non-contingent patterns is R² = ۰.۲۸.
