Mediation roles of the early maladaptive schemas for the relationship satisfaction

Summary/Abstract: The relationship satisfaction is a psychological phenomenon with great importance for the overall well-being of individuals in all cultures. In the current study, 312 Bulgarian respondents were tested to understand in depth the underlying mechanisms by which the satisfaction in intimate couples is influenced by the early maladaptive schemas established by Jeffrey Young. They are seen as a significant mediator in the processes which contribute to satisfaction or dissatisfaction. Other relevant concepts such as the attachment styles are shown to play a role as well. The findings of this study are directed to the professional community and could be used for meaningful practical applications.
