Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the prediction of social anxiety symptoms (fear, avoidance, psychological arousal) on the basis of early maladaptive schemas. The sample consisted of 200 Ilam university students who selected by multistage random sampling. Participants completed the young’s schema questionnaire- Short Form (YSQ-SF) and Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN). Results indicated that there is significant relationship between early maladaptive schema and fear, avoidance and psychological arousal. Social isolation/ alienation schema predict three symptoms significantly. Furthermore, part of each symptom variance was significantly predicted by specific schemas. Although part of obtained results with other researchers findings are attuned, but in the case of the results should be treated with caution and a greater cross-cultural and inter-cultural research can help to scrutinize the findings.
