Abstract

This study aims to investigate the relationship between early maladaptive schemas and mental skills by interpreting the footballer's competitive anxiety and goal orientation. The research methodology is descriptive using correlational models. According to the predictor variables of early maladaptive schemas and mental skills, goal orientation and competitive anxiety are predicted in a sample of footballers in the Premier League and Azadegan League. The research population consisted of all footballers in the Premier League and Azadegan League. Considering the formula, the sample size was chosen 200 using convenience sampling method from Premier and Azadegan Leagues’ football teams. The measurement tools include Young Schema Questionnaire-Short Form (YSQ-SF; Young, 1998), The Ottawa Mental Skills Assessment Tool 3 (OMSAT-3), Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire (TEOSQ) and Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2). In the statistical analysis of the data, descriptive and inferential indicators and methods were used. The research hypotheses were tested by standardized multiple regression analysis and finally, the conclusion based on the hypotheses was that there was a relationship between some components of early maladaptive schemas and mental skills with goal orientation of footballers.
