Aim and Background: Using a correlational method, the present research was done to study the inter-relations between early maladaptive schemas and five main factors of personality traits. Method and Materials: The statistical population consisted of bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees students of the University of Tehran from which a sample group of 200-subject (100 males and 100 females) was selected through available sampling method. Young Schema Questionnaire-Short Form (YSQ-SF) and revised Five-Factor Inventory of personality (NEO-FFI) questionnaires were used as the tools of the study while Pearson correlation and canonical correlation tests were used for the data analysis. Findings: The findings suggested that personality trait of neuroticism and maladaptive schema of abandonment/instability had the most prominent role in the first canonical root. Maladaptive schema of social isolation/alienation and personality trait of agreement, and maladaptive schema of mistrust/abuse and personality trait of conscientiousness had the most prominent role in the second and third canonical roots, respectively. Conclusions: According to results, it can be concluded that there was a statistically significant convergence and overlap between the early maladaptive schemas and personality dimensions.
