The Early Maladaptive Schema Questionnaire-Short Form: A Construct Validity Study

Abstract

N. B. Schmidt, T. E. Joiner, J. E. Young, and M. J. Telch (1995) provided preliminary construct validity for scores from J. E. Young's (1990) 205-item Early Maladaptive Schema Questionnaire. The present study extends this work by examining the construct validity of scores from the shorter 75-item version of this instrument—the Early Maladaptive Schema Questionnaire-Short Form (J. E. Young, 1994).
