The predictive roles of self-compassion, perceived social support, and psychological flexibility in early maladaptive schemas among college students: an exploration based on latent profile analysis
Latent profile analysis identified three early maladaptive schema profiles in college students, suggesting links to self-compassion and social support.
Key Points

The high schema profile displayed significantly more disconnection, rejection, and impaired performance than other profiles.
Self-compassion, perceived social support, and psychological flexibility were critical in distinguishing the profiles.
Gender and educational level also played a significant role in predicting membership within the schema profiles.
