Abstract
Determining the mediating role of maladaptive cognitive schemas in relation between socially prescribed perfectionism and depression was proposed and tested in a model by path analysis among a nonclinical sample of 200 students. Participants completed the Hewitt and Flett Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale, Depression Anxiety Stress Scales, and Young Schema Questionnaire- short form. Results have shown that the initially hypothesized model did not have enough fitness to be confirmed. The findings show that, failure schema, relatively have indirect effect on defectiveness/shame and insufficient self control/selfdiscipline schemas and may play the role of mediator in relationship between socially prescribed perfectionism and depression. According to the findings, therapist should attend to factors that increase client's resistance, especially for perfectionists.
