“…Considering the limitations and unique characteristics of elderly age, it can be considered as an opportunity to assess and change attitudes of the elderly by revising their schemas and start a period full of meaning, growth and mental health [6]. The present research is consistent with the studies carried out in Iran by Yousefi, Zerehpoosh, Moradi, and Bahrami on the impact of early maladaptive schemas in life [7,8,9,10]. In this regard, according to the research findings, knowing the importance of cognitive patterns in mental health, these stereotypical beliefs and thoughts can be revised and reevaluated during the elderly age by modifying the schema and understanding the roots of problems and incompatibilities.…”

Use your device to scan and read the article online Objectives The present study aimed to examine the relationship between early maladaptive schemas with meaning of life and well-being of the elderly and investigation and its prediction by early maladaptive schemas. Methods & Materials In this research, a total of 200 older people (96 women and 104 men) were selected from Tehran city by convenience sampling. The instruments used in this study consisted of the Yung early maladaptive Schema Questionnaire -Short Form (SQ-SF), Meaning of Life Questionnaire (MLQ) and Ryffs Scales of Psychological Well-Being (RSPWB). Results The results of multiple regression analyses showed that 37% of the elderly participants found meaning, 27% found meaning in life, 27% in self-acceptance, 24% in positive relationship with the others, and 44% in environment control, as predicted by early maladaptive schemas. Early maladaptive schemas cannot project autonomy, personal growth and purpose in life. This correlation was significant (P<0.001). Based on the analyses of variance, the regression method was also significant and linear because the value of F test for determining the effect of independent variables on finding meaning and meaning in life, i.e., 5.21 and 3.22, respectively, was significant (P<0.001). Also, the effect of independent variables on well-being and self-acceptance (f=3.22) showed a positive relationship with others (f=2.68) and environment control (f=2.17), which was significant (P<0.001) . Conclusion Findings of this research revealed that early maladaptive schemas (unrelenting standards, self-sacrifice, subjugation, emotional deprivation, social isolation, and failure) have predictive power for meaning of life and well-being, which may affect the mental health of the elderly. A B S T R A C T Objectivesince the world's population is aging rapidly, elderly age is of paramount importance. Gerontology seeks to better understand the elderly age, prevent the difficulties related to this age group, help improve the health and well-being of the elderly population, and provide ways to the middle-aged people to be prepared for old age [1]. Therefore, studies aimed at improving mental health and quality of life in elderly age seem necessary. Since schemas are the deepest cognitive levels and the core of personality, it seems that search for meaning and psychological well-being in this period are related to early maladaptive schemes and play an important role in the quality of life and mental health in elderly [2]. Hence, SAutumn 2017. Vol 12. Num 3 327 the present study aimed to investigate the relationship between the components of early maladaptive schemas and the components of the meaning of life and psychological well-being. Methods & MaterialsThe present study was a descriptive-correlational research. The study population consisted of all elderly men and women aged between 65 and 80 years who lived in Tehran in 2016. Accordingly, 200 persons were selected among the elderly men and women (96 women and 104 men) through a...

“…The outcomes obtained by Aquino et al (2011) can be added to other international interventions focused on promoting meaning in life for adolescents, even though low in number, that have achieved positive outcomes, associated with an improvement in the quality of life of adolescents (Haditabar, Far, & Amani, 2013) and with an increase in psychological well-being in patients with cancer (Kang et al, 2009). Studies of interventions to promote meaning in life in adolescents are also scarce in the national literature.…”

“…Resultados como os obtidos por Aquino et al (2011) se somam aos de outras intervenções internacionais com foco na promoção do sentido vida para adolescentes, ainda em pequeno número, que têm encontrado resultados positivos, associados a uma melhora na qualidade de vida de adolescentes (Haditabar, Far, & Amani, 2013) e ao aumento no bem-estar psicológico em pacientes com diagnóstico de câncer (Kang et al, 2009). São igualmente escassos na literatura nacional estudos de intervenções para promoção de sentido da vida em adolescentes.…”
