Abstract

This study examined the mediating effects of stress, avoidance coping, emotional regulation andresponsibility attribution on the relationship between early (childhood) maladaptive schema andmarital satisfaction. Two competing structural models were employed to analyze the data collectedfrom 669 married couples. The first model hypothesized that stress in daily life reactivated earlymaladaptive schema. On the other hand, the second model assumed that the former and the latteraffected each other. Both of the models considered the early maladaptive schema effect on maritalsatisfaction directly and indirectly. This research indicated that early maladaptive schema and stress indaily life affected each other. However, they had more indirect than direct impacts on three keyfactors of marital satisfaction, most significantly avoidance coping, followed by emotional regulationand responsibility attribution. The path coefficients between early maladaptive schema and emotionalregulation affected the female participant group more strongly than its male counterpart. Limitationsof this study and, implications for counseling and future research were discussed.
