Imperfection was found to be negatively correlated between emotional deprivation and abandonment and egalitarian attitude. In our study, a positive relationship was found between the traditionalist attitude and failure, vulnerability against threats andnesting / addiction schemes. Also a positive correlation was found between the traditional attitude and the Approval Seeking and Self Sacrifice schemes. But no relation was found between these schemes and egalitarian attitude. A positive relation was found between the traditional attitude and punishment, suppression of emotions, high standards and pessimism schemes. The emotion suppression and pessimism schemes were negatively related to the egalitarian attitude.

As the traditional attitude scores increase, the appearance correction and avoidance scores increase.

Social Isolation, abandonment, punishment, privilege / insufficient self-control, which are the sub-dimensions of Young schema, were found to be a significant predictor of positive logical acceptance. But the effect of abandonment, punishment, privilege / insufficient self-control was positive. The effect of social isolation was negative.
