“…In other words, each of the domains of abandonment/instability, self-surrender/ inhibition, impaired autonomy/performance, impaired limits, over-vigilance/inhibition, and over-control has a positive and meaningful role in indicators of mental health through emotional regulation. These findings are directly and indirectly consistent with the hypothesis (36,37). Individuals who suffer from emotion dysregulation avoid interpersonal disputes and conceal unpleasant feelings (e.g., grief, rage, and hostility) without attempting to express them (38).…”

Background: The mental health of individuals is an effective factor in having harmonious communication with others and changing and improving personal and social environments. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between primary incompatible patterns, cognitiveemotional regulation, and the mental health of operating room technologists in educational therapeutic centers in West Azerbaijan province, Iran. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study consisted of all operating room technologists working in educational centers in West Azerbaijan province. The inclusion criteria were technologists who had no history of mental illness diagnosed by a psychiatrist. The sample consisted of 123 people who were selected by simple random sampling. The data were collected using several demographic data forms, including the Early Maladaptive Schema Questionnaire, the Cognitive-Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ), and the Mental Health Questionnaire. The obtained data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistical tests, including the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and Spearman correlation in SPSS 20 software. Results: The results showed a direct relationship between early maladaptive schemas and mental health (r=0.37, P<0.05), as well as between emotional cognitive regulation and mental health (r=0.30, P<0.05). A significant difference was found between emotional cognitive adjustment with age (r=0.12, P<0.05) and work experience (r=0.14, P<0.05), as well as between mental health and employment status (r=0.07, P<0.05). There was a direct and significant relationship. Conclusion: Based on the results, a direct and significant relationship was observed between early maladaptive schemas, emotional cognitive regulation, and the mental health of operating room technologists.

“…Moreover, as the core childhood needs not covered in the origin of EMS are the same as postulated in Bowlby’s attachment theory (Bowlby, 1973), some research has analyzed associations between attachment, and EMSs. In this sense, Kaya and Aydin (2021) found negative correlations among the domains of disconnection and rejection and impaired autonomy with secure attachment, as well as positive correlations among the previous domains with insecure attachment.…”

Objective: There is evidence supporting the relationship between early stress and childhood trauma and the development of fibromyalgia (FM). Early maladaptive schemas (EMSs) are considered a consequence of early stress. Previous research has shown their role in maintaining stress responses and their relevance in other populations with pain. The main aim of this study has been to analyze the presence of EMSs in patients with FM compared to healthy adult women. In addition, the relationship between the strength of EMSs and pain intensity was tested. Method: The total sample consisted of 167 women: 83 patients with FM and 84 healthy controls. Results: Chi-square analyses showed that the percentage of participants with clinically significant scores is higher for patients with FM in 11 of the 18 EMSs evaluated. Moreover, discriminant analyses revealed that these EMS are useful to discriminate between FM and healthy controls, classifying 74.2% of original cases. In relation to the second aim, the mean pain intensity correlated with the strength of several EMSs: approval seeking, unrelenting standards, insufficient self-control, and mistrust/abuse. Conclusions: The current study highlights that a high rate of patients with FM have clinically significant EMSs compared to healthy matched controls, as has been found in other populations with pain. Besides, this study provides initial evidence that EMSs are positively associated with the pain experienced by patients with FM, suggesting the existence of a possible association between early stress and pain. Therefore, taking EMSs into account could be of great relevance to clinicians. Clinical Impact StatementEmotional-cognitive variables and early stress have a central role in fibromyalgia (FM). One of the consequences of childhood stress is the development of a strong system of maladaptive beliefs called early maladaptive schemas (EMSs). EMSs seem to be relevant in the development of several pain problems. This is the first study analyzing EMSs in patients with FM. The results showed that participants with FM have more clinically altered EMSs than healthy people, and these EMSs are associated to pain intensity. Taking EMSs into account could be of relevance to clinicians and Young's Schema Therapy could be useful in their management.

“…An avoidant attachment style is characterized by a distant behavior towards people around, as well as a low sense of security, which amplifies dysfunctional thoughts. Also, numerous studies in the literature have shown that for an attachment that is not secure, dealing with problematic situations is more difficult and longer lasting (Gay et al, 2013;Langhinrichsen-Rohling et al, 2017;Kaya & Aydin, 2021). For dysfunctional attachments, a traumatic experience will have a deeper effect, people being stuck in those events.…”

“…Cognitive schemas have been shown to have an effect on the development of emotional and behavioral problems, but also on the development of individuals (Fischer et al 2016;Fouladi 2015;Wijk-Herbrink et al 2018;Kaya & Aydin, 2021). Thus, cognitive schemas can be considered to have a higher impact on anxious and avoidant attachment styles, as these two types tend to remain stuck in problematic or stressful situations (Janssen et al, 2002;Lopez et al, 2001).…”

The current study focuses on the idea that the relationship between attachment styles and emotional intelligence can be influenced by cognitive schemas. It is well known that the first interaction between the child and his mother lays the foundations of attachment. The extent to which it develops guides the individual throughout his life making him responsible for his own actions and decisions. In this way studying the three variables becomes the main objective of the study. The data were collected on an online form, using the snowball method by which subjects were able to share the questionnaire to acquaintances to gather a larger number of people. The study was attended by 281 people aged between 18 to 40 years, M = 21.98, SD = 4.10, of which, 52 were males (18.50%) and 229 females (81.50%), 134 were single (47.69%) and 147 were in a relationship (52.31%), 48 people come from single-parent families (17.08%) and 233 come from two-parent families (82.92%). The results were as expected, secure attachment constitutes a significant positive predictor of emotional intelligence while the anxious attachment was a significant negative predictor of emotional intelligence. The results also showed that avoidant attachment would be a significant positive predictor of emotional intelligence. Following the results it was observed that there is a mediation between cognitive schema and the relationship between attachment styles and emotional intelligence. The secure attachment style was significantly negatively associated with all three types of schemas as expected.
