Objectives This study aimed to examine the relationship between negative perfectionism and early maladaptive schemas in the hypervigilance/inhibition domain, mediated by rumination in Iranian college students.
Methods This is a descriptive-correlational study using structural equation modeling (SEM). The study population consists of students from universities in Tehran in the 2023–2024 academic year. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 379 participants were selected via convenience sampling. Those who scored ≥69 on the negative perfectionism subscale of Terry-Short’s positive and negative perfectionism scale (PANPS) were included. The used instruments included the Young schema questionnaire-3rd edition (YSQ-S3), PANPS, and Nolen-Hoeksema & Morrow’s ruminative response scale. Data was analyzed using SPSS software, version 26 and AMOS software, version 24.
Results The findings showed that the direct effect of hypervigilance/inhibition on negative perfectionism was significant (β=0.30, P=0.001). The indirect effect of these schemas on negative perfectionism through rumination was also significant (β=-0.08, P<0.05), indicating that reducing the levels of these schemas and rumination may lead to a decrease in negative perfectionism.
Conclusion Negative perfectionism is related to hypervigilance/inhibition domain of early maladaptive schemas, both directly and indirectly (through rumination) in Iranian college students. These findings highlight the importance of cognitive-behavioral and schema therapies for improving students’ mental health.
