چکیده:
Objective: This project aimed to study early maladaptive schemas in adults with parents
afflicted with schizophrenia.
Methods: In a causal-comparative study, a sample of 39 adults with one schizophrenic parent as
the experiment group and 40 students without schizophrenic parents as the control group were
selected. Both groups completed early maladaptive schema questionnaire. Descriptive statistics
as well as multi-and single-variable analysis of variance were applied.
Results: Significant differences were found in early maladaptive schemas of rejection/
disconnection, impaired autonomy/performance, and over vigilance/inhibitions as well as in
the subscales of emotional deprivation, defectiveness/shame, failure, and unrelenting standards.
Conclusion: Feelings of failure and insecurity leads to formation of early maladaptive schemas
in children of schizophrenia. The chronicity of schizophrenia, patients’ behavioral difficulties,
and stigmatization lead to feelings of defectiveness and lack of security in children and early
maladaptive schemas.

The objective of the research was to examine the effects of a parent with schizophrenia, as one of the severe mental illnesses, in developing early maladaptive schema in their children.
In this regard, the research hypothesis is "there is a rela- tionship between having a parent with schizophrenia and developing early maladaptive schema in their children.
e. , there was a significant relationship be- tween developing early maladaptive schema in the chil- dren and suffering from having one parent affected with schizophrenia in the family.
In this regard, early maladaptive schema of the children of parents with mental illness are a reflection of their horrible environment, the environment in which the children’s needs for dedication, security, and emotional support are not met (Rohrbaugh, 2008); The basic needs that failure to satisfy them will result in devel- opment of the schema of rejection domain.
Second category of early maladaptive schema, which is prevalent among the children having parents with schizo- phrenia, is the domain of autonomy/impaired perfor- mance.
Third category of early maladaptive schema, which is significant among children having parents with schizo- phrenia, is the domain of over-vigilance."
