This study aims to design and validate ten projective images of Young’s Early Maladaptive Schema (EMS) domains. For this purpose, two questions are to be addressed. (1) How is the factorial structure of the projective images of EMS domains? (2) Do the images designed in the domains of disconnection and rejection, impaired autonomy and performance, impaired limits, other-directedness, and over-vigilance and inhibition have sufficient validity? This is an applied mixed-methods exploratory study, in which the statistical population consisted of psychologists from Tehran Province in the qualitative section (n = 8) as well as other individuals aged between 18 and 65 years (mean age = 33) from Qazvin in the quantitative section (n = 102) in 2018. The research questions were analyzed through principal axis factoring with a varimax rotation, confirmatory factor analysis, Pearson correlation coefficient, and Cronbach’s alpha. According to the results, ten images and five domains of Young’s EMSs contribute to a simple structure. Accounting for 70.35% of the total variance of EMSs, the five dimensions include disconnection and rejection, impaired autonomy and performance, impaired limits, other-directedness, and over-vigilance and inhibition. The results indicated that the designed projective images yielded acceptable construct validity.

初步研究：设计和验证Young早期适应不良模式（EMS）域的投影图像

这项研究旨在设计和验证十个Young的早期适应不良图谱（EMS）域的投影图像。为此，有两个问题要解决。（1）EMS域的投影图像的阶乘结构如何？（2）在断开和拒绝，自主性和性能受损，界限受损，指向其他以及过度警惕和抑制等领域设计的图像是否具有足够的有效性？这是一项应用了混合方法的探索性研究，其中统计人群包括来自德黑兰省定性部分的心理学家（n = 8）以及来自加兹温的18至65岁（平均年龄= 33）的其他个体。在2018年的量化部分（n = 102）。研究问题通过使用varimax旋转的主轴分解进行了分析，验证性因素分析，Pearson相关系数和Cronbach's alpha。根据结果​​，Young EMS的十个图像和五个域构成了一个简单的结构。五个方面占EMS总方差的70.35％，包括断开连接和拒绝，自治和性能受损，限制受损，指向其他以及过度警惕和抑制。结果表明，设计的投影图像产生了可接受的构造效度。以及过度警惕和抑制。结果表明，设计的投影图像产生了可接受的构造效度。以及过度警惕和抑制。结果表明，设计的投影图像产生了可接受的构造效度。
