“…It can be hypothesized that self-stigmatizing opinions and beliefs are the exemplification of automatic thinking patterns [ 32 ] and the main function of self-compassion and psychological flexibility is to loosen the rigidity of the content of these patterns, as well as to increase the ability of distancing from negative self-concept and widening the spectrum of self-perception beyond disability or another stigmatizing social role. Additionally, both psychological flexibility and self-compassion exhibited moderate or high negative relationships with EMS (especially with the Disconnection and Impaired Limits domains), which is in accordance with previous research [ 51 , 52 , 53 ].…”

“…While direct positive relationships between psychological flexibility and self-compassion have been widely established [ 48 , 49 , 50 ], limited research showed negative associations between EMS and psychological flexibility [ 51 ] and mindful attention awareness [ 52 , 53 , 54 ]. As mindfulness is a component of the self-compassion model [ 33 ], it can be hypothesized that similar relationships would be established between EMS and self-compassion itself.…”

Self-stigmatizing thoughts may be rooted in one’s core beliefs, and in turn be associated with early maladaptive schemas (EMS). Psychological flexibility, an ability to distance and accept one’s thoughts, is reported to diminish EMS’s effect on well-being, while self-compassion, a mindful attitude towards one’s suffering, often reduces self-stigma. The objective of this study was to examine associations between EMS, self-stigma, psychological flexibility and self-compassion in individuals with disabilities, as they are at higher risk of experiencing self-stigma. Participants were 238 persons with disabilities. The Self-Stigma Scale, Young’s Schemas Questionnaire, the Self-Compassion Scale Short and the Acceptance and Action-II Questionnaire were used. Hierarchical regression and mediation analysis were used to establish (1) predictors and (2) potential mediators of self-stigma in people with disabilities. Hierarchical regression showed that EMS alone accounted for 39% of the variance explained by self-stigma, and with the addition of psychological flexibility—an additional 2% was explained. Parallel mediation analyses indicated that psychological flexibility partially mediated the relationship between EMS domains and self-stigma. It appears that psychological rigidity is related to self-stigma and should be addressed in treatment through evidence-based approaches such as Schema Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to enhance individuals’ healthy life patterns, flexibility and self-compassion.

“…One of the variables of great importance in psychological studies is the primary incompatible schemas. Early maladaptive schemas are emotional and cognitive patterns of self-harm that are formed in mind at the beginning of growth and transformation and are repeated throughout life (Flink et al, 2018). Young has categorized early maladaptive schemas into five domains in the following order (Calvete et al, 2018).…”

Background & Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between initially incompatible schemas in self-efficacy and the work enthusiasm of employees. Methodology: The current research is applied in terms of purpose and correlational in terms of method. The statistical population of the present study consisted of employees of banks in the 5th district of Tehran. Among these people, 100 people were selected as a statistical sample based on Morgan's table. A questionnaire was used to collect data. The research tools included Yang's maladaptive schemas questionnaire (short form), Scherer et al.'s (1982) self-efficacy questionnaire, and Salona and Shoufeli's (2001) job enthusiasm questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS software and Pearson's correlation coefficient for statistical analysis. Results: The findings show a negative correlation between job passion and rejection, poor self-management, and impaired limitation, which is significant at the P < 0.01 level. On the other hand, the relationship between job passion and other areas of orientation and listening to live is insignificant. Also, the correlation between self- efficacy and impaired self-management, other orientation, and impaired limitation is negative and significant at the P < 0.01 level. At the same time, the relationship of self- efficacy with the domains of tinnitus, cutting, and rejection is not significant. Conclusion: The statistical analysis of the data showed that job enthusiasm has a significant negative correlation with the three areas of cut and rejection, impaired self- management, and impaired limitation, but its relationship with the other two areas is not significant. Also, self-efficacy has a significant negative correlation with impaired self-management, impaired limitation, and orientation toward others. This is even though the relationship between self-efficacy and the other two domains, i.e., listening to the bell and cutting and rejecting, is insignificant.
