Abstract
Our research examined the predictive value of early childhood maladaptive schemas on adult emotion dysregulation. Maladaptive schemas explained a large portion of the variance in emotion dysregulation. The best predictors were incompetence, abandonment, insufficient self-control, fear of losing control, dependency, and vulnerability schemas.
