Abstract :This study aimed to investigate the relationship between early maladaptive schemas (EMS) and problematic mobile phone use among adolescents. To collect data, the Young Schema Questionnaire Short Form-3 (YSQ-SF3) and Mobile-phone Addiction Questionnaire were given to 103 female students (between 16 and 20 years of age) studying at a high school in Diyarbakır. Results showed that there was a positive and significant correlation between five schema domains and three sub-dimensions of the mobile phone addiction questionnaire. All schemas except punitiveness and total score of mobile phone addiction were significantly correlated. Furthermore, path analysis (SEM) indicated that some schema domains have had significant effects on sub-dimensions of the mobile phone addiction questionnaire. For example, impaired autonomy and performance have had a positive effect on lack of control, impaired limits have a positive effect on tolerance and unrelenting standards have had a positive effect on tolerance and abstinence.Keywords : Addiction, Adolescents, Early maladaptive schemas, Problematic mobile phone use
