In this study, it is aimed to investigate the relationship between early maladaptive schemas and depressive symptoms and self compassion. In the study, Socio-Demographic Information Form, Young Schema Scale Short Form-3, Beck Depression Scale and Self compassion Scale were used. In the research, independent groups t test, one-way variance analysis (ANOVA) for demographic variables, and multivariate variance analysis (manova) was used in the analysis of self compassion and early maladaptive schemes according to demographic variables. In addition, the relationship between depressive symptoms, self compassion, and early maladaptive schemes was examined by pearson correlation analysis. Multiple regression analysis was performed in predicting depressive symptoms of self-sensitivity and early disordering schemes. 69.9% of the university students participating in the research are women and 30.1% are men. In addition, 13.7% of the participants work actively in a job, while 86.3% do not. In addition, 66% of the participants are 1st grade, 19.5% are 2nd grade and 14.5% are 3rd grade students.
