Marital infidelity is one of the most common and also destructive phenomena in marital relationship. Individual, relat-ionship, and contextual factors are seen as important predictor of infidelity. The aim of this study was to explore the role of early maladaptive schema in ma-rital infidelity. The data was gathered through 3 focused group of schema thera-pist and analyzed by Braun and Clarke method. Result present there overarching themes, trait schema component, state schema component and further schema. The first theme was about schemas and coping strategy. The analyses show the role of early maladaptive schema in disconnection and rejection, impaired limit and other directedness domains andovercompensation and surrender coping strategy. Vulnerable child mode, impu-lsive child mode, punitive parent mode and detached self-soother coping mode is seen in state related component. At last, individual and contextual factors are reported as further schema component. In sum, early maladaptive schemas as an individual factor can be seen as a predictor factor in marital infidelity.

The main purpose of the present study was to discover the underlying mechanisms of anxiety in Wells’ metacognitive theory of anxiety. This could be accomplished through studying the relations between all kinds of meta-cognition in Nelson and Narens’ theory and Wells’ theory of metacognitive anxiety. Therefore, as a first step, the relations among metacognitive anxiety and Judgment Of Learning (JOL) and delayed Judgment of Learning (dJOL), as different supervisory metacognitive skills were studied.

Two hundred and ninety volunteer university students (146 men and 144 women) were assessed using JOL and dJOL task as well as Anxious Thought Inventory (AnTI). Data were analyzed using correlation and stepwise regression.

Results showed positive correlations of JOL and dJOL with metacognitive anxiety, and all of its subscales between 0.15 and 0.21. Stepwise regression analyses also indicated that Social worriness alone, can predict 4.4% and 3.9% of variance of JOL and dJOL respectively. Nevertheless, the mentioned correlations were weak and the obtained percents were very low.

Because of weak relations, we can infer that JOL is not the underlying impaired mechanism mentioned in Wells’ theory, and there are probably other underlying meta-cognitive mechanisms involved.
