Schemas, Psychometrics, Young schema questionnaire, TherapyAbstract
The aim of this research was to study the psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of the Young Schema Questionnaire (short form) and map the cognitive schemas in the sample by establishing correlations between Early Maladaptive Schemas and variables such as anxiety levels, depression, lack of psychosocial adaptation and vulnerability. The methodology was quantitative. The sample comprised 372 subjects. A Demographic Questionnaire, Young Schema Questionnaire (short form) and Factorial Scale of Emotional Adjustment/Neuroticism were used as the instruments of assessment. The findings demonstrate the validity of the Brazilian version of the Young Schema Questionnaire (short form) for this group. The results showed a satisfactory degree of reliability (D=0.955) and the questionnaire’s ability to make distinctions, as well as the convergent validity with regard to the Factorial Scale of Emotional Adjustment/Neuroticism.
