Abstract |
|
The aim of the study was to examine the Effectiveness of emotional schema therapy (EST) on university students experiencing Difficulties Emotion Regulation and Neurotic Perfectionism. Researchers found that individuals who have experienced Neurotic Perfectionism (NP) have emotional dysregulation than others. 14 males’ students were randomly assigned to experimental group (n=7, M =18.09, SD =3.7) and control group (n=7, M =18.05, SD=3.8). Participants in the experimental group received 14 sessions of group emotional schema therapy. Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale by Bjureberg et al. (2016), The Big Three Perfectionism Scale by Smith et al. (2016) were measured pre, post, and at 2-month of follow-up. Results indicated that emotional schema therapy was effective in improving emotion regulation at post-test and follow-up in experimental group. In addition, participants showed significant reducing Neurotic Perfectionism at post-test and follow-up. Our results suggest that emotional schema therapy may be useful in Emotion Regulation and Neurotic Perfectionism.
