The examination of the anxiety level and the early maladaptive schemas of the students that choose the same professions and the students that choose the different professions

This research is carried out for the purpose of finding out whether there is a similarity between early maladative schemas and anxiety levels in university students choosing same professions. The early maladative schemas and the anxiety levels in students choosing different professions are also compared with each other. Accordingly, the research is worked on a volunteer basis by the attendance of 206 students that study at the faculty of law, medicine, engineering and education. Demographic information form, Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and Young Schema Questionnaire – Short Form 3 is applied to the attenders. The frequency, percentage, average and standard deviation value of the data is inferred. Kruskal-Wallis Test, Mann Whitney U Test, factor analysis, correlation analysis and one-way analysis of variance are implemented. Results of the analysis, there are significant differences between early maladative schemas and choice of professions. It is inferred that the students choosing same professions have the smilar schemas. It is also confirmed that the students in the sample group have schemas in common with each other. When the anxiety levels of students is examined, in terms of ensemble average the difference is obtained statistically. In this regard, It is found that the anxiety levels in students prefering to study at faculty of law is the highest on the contrary that students prefering to study at faculty of education is the lowest.
