Abstract
Background and Aim: Considering the harms and dangers of addiction and the fact that many people are trapped in it every day, it is important to identify the variables that affect it. The aim of this study was to predict the tendency to addiction among university students based on initial maladaptive schemas and cognitive emotion regulation.
Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study. The statistical population consisted of all the 3548 students of Gonbad Kavous Payame-Noor University in the academic year 2019-20, from among whom a sample of 384 students was selected using the one-stage cluster random sampling method. The data collection tools were the following 3 questionnaires: early maladaptive schema (Young, 2005), cognitive emotion regulation (Garnefski & Kraaij, 2001) and addiction tendency (Wade and Butcher, 1992). Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the data using the SPSS software version 22 at a statistical significance level of 0.05.
Results: Data analysis showed correlations between addiction and the following variables: excessive ringing in the ears (r = 0.491, p = 0.001), being guided by others (r = 0.523, p = 0.001), disturbed constraints (0.001 >, r = 0.426 p), impaired function (r = 0.389, p = 0.001), discontinuation (r = 0.406, p <0.001) and cognitive emotion regulation (p> 475, <0.001). 0r =). In addition, the results of multiple linear regression analysis showed the following: excessive ringing (β= 0.203, p = 0.001), being guided by others (β= 0.274, p = 0.001), disturbed constraints (β= 0.261, p = 0.001), impaired function (β= 0.229, p = 0.001), discontinuation (β= 0.193, p <0.001) and cognitive emotion regulation (β= 0.315, p = 0.001).
Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, the average tendency to addiction among university students can be predicted by changing the initial maladaptive schemas and improving the cognitive emotional regulation.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Cancer patients face numerous psychological and physical challenges in which various psychological, social, economic and medical variables are involved. This study aimed to model the structural equations of coping strategies in cancer patients based on early maladaptive schemas with the mediating role of health literacy.
Materials and Methods: This was a correlation analysis study based on structural equation modeling. The statistical population consisted of cancer patients aged 20 to 60 years visiting private medical centers in Tehran between April 20th and September 21st, 2024, from among whom 665 participants were selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected using the Early Maladaptive Schemas Questionnaire (1998), the Adult Health Literacy Questionnaire (2023), and the Coping with Stressful Situations Inventory Questionnaire (1990) and analyzed using the structural equation modeling methods using SPSS 25 and Amos 24 software at a significance level of 0.05.
Results: Data analysis showed that the early maladaptive schemas had a statistically negative relationship with health literacy (β = ─ 0.84, p < 0.001) and a positive relationship with coping strategies (β = 0.25, p < 0.001). In addition, health literacy had a negative association with coping strategies (β = 0.83, p < 0.001). In addition, health literacy had a negative association with coping strategies (β=─0.83, p<0.001).and an intermediary role in the association between primary maladaptive schemas and coping strategies (β=0.25, p<0.001). Goodness-of-fit indices indicated an adequate fit of the model (GFI = 0/916, IFI = 0/910, CFI = 0/909, and RMSEA = 0.078).
Conclusion: The findings show that early maladaptive schemas are associated with low
health literacy and coping behaviors in cancer patients. Improving health literacy can, as a mediating variable, moderate these negative effects, and can also contribute to better constructive coping behaviors. Educational interventions to increase health literacy can be useful in mental therapy and rehabilitation.
