Abstract

One of the aspects of quality of life is the quality of mental health which is included in lack of fear, anxiety, and depression. The quality of mental health is one of the important variables in positive psychology which reflects the individuals’ psychological health. Emotional intelligence and stress coping strategies are among the important variables that according to various researches play a significant role in the relation between the factors related to personality and their psychological consequences.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the relation between the early maladaptive schemas and emotional intelligence with self-harm of adolescent girls in Tehran high schools between 2017 and 2018. The findings of the research showed that there is a significant relation between the two schemas of emotional deprivation and sacrifice with self-harm but there is not a significant relation between the other schemas and the adolescent girls’ self-harm.
