Abstract
The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of schema mode therapy on the kind of schema process (in mate selection) and marriage expectations among girls in the pre-marital stage in Isfahan. The research design was a semi-experimental pre-test and post-test type with a control group. The statistical population included all girls in the pre-marital stage in Isfahan in 2023. The sampling method was voluntary, and 30 participants were selected based on the inclusion criteria. They were randomly assigned to control (15 participants) and experimental (15 participants). To measure the research variables, Awli's mate selection (1386) and Jones and Nelson's Marriage Expectation Questionnaire (1996) were administered before (pre-test) and after (post-test) the intervention. The experimental group underwent schema mode therapy, while the control group received no intervention. Univariate and multivariate analyses of covariance were used to analyze the data. The results showed that schema mode therapy significantly influenced components of marriage expectations (realistic and idealistic) and the process of schema compensation (in mate selection) in the experimental group at the post-test stage (P<0.05). However, the therapy did not significantly affect pessimistic expectations and the process of schema perpetuation (in mate selection). Based on the findings, it can be concluded that schema mode therapy may help modify certain components of marriage expectations and the schema compensation process (in mate selection) among girls in the pre-marital stage.
