The current research aim is studying the correlation between anxiety and the early maladaptive schemas and predicting this disorder with early maladaptive schemas. To this aim two questionnaires of Schema Questionnaire- Short Form (SQ-SF) designed by Young and Kettle’s Anxiety Questionnaire were conducted on 144 female students of third year of high school in Minudasht. Research results analyses were conducted through the use of SPSS20 software and the Pearson’s correlation coefficient, one-way ANOVA test and stepwise regression. Results indicate a significant correlation between the early maladaptive schemas and the symptoms of anxiety, and they predict that the early maladaptive schema of defectiveness/shame predicts anxiety, and the early maladaptive schema of selfsacrifice has an inverse correlation with students’ anxiety, and the current survey results were consistent with the previous surveys, and it is possible to recognize the maladaptive schemas related to those in other disorders and use them for solving the problems.
