Abstract
In this study, the mediating role of early maladaptive schemas in the relationship between happiness and life satisfaction of university students was examined. In line with this purpose, data were collected from 490 students (373 female, 177 male) by simple random sampling method. In the research, 'Satisfaction with Life Scale', 'Young Schema Scale Short Form' and 'Happiness Scale' were applied to collect data. The proposed model was tested with structural equation modeling using LISREL software. In line with the findings, it can be said that the suggested mediator model fits well with the data. Positive and significant relationship was found between life satisfaction and happiness in university students. It has been observed that two sub-dimensions (emotional deprivation and pessimism) of early maladaptive schemas play a partial mediating role between life satisfaction and happiness. Results was discussed in the light of literature.
