Summary:The aim of this study is to determine the predictive strength of early maladaptive schema domains and family functions in explaining dyadic marital adjustment by testing a hypothetical structural model. While the dependent variable was dyadic marital adjustment, the independent variables were early maladaptive schema domains, and the mediator variable was family functions. The study group consisted of 201 Turkish married individuals. Findings revealed that unrelenting standards and disconnection schema domains significantly predicted dyadic marital adjustment and family functions play a partial mediating role only in the predictive effect of the disconnection schema domain on dyadic marital adjustment.
