Introduction: family environment is very vital and important to development of family
members. Children who are rising up in Dynamic family environment are resilience to facing
life problems. Some children and adolescents like orphans do not have enough chance to
experience the warmth and emotional atmosphere of family. The present study aimed to
compare early maladaptive schemas, irrational beliefs and communicational skills between
orphan and non-orphan adolescences.
Methods: The research method was a causal- comparative approach. The sample of
research consisted of 116 female adolescences (56 of them were orphan and 60 others were
non-orphan adolescences), the participants mean age was between 12-18 years old. The nonorphan
adolescents were selected by available sampling and the other orphan group was
elected by targeting sampling.
The data gathering was carried out according to three questionnaires including Young
schema questionnaire short form, factor Irrational beliefs Test-Ahwaz (4IBT-A) and
communication skills Test-Revised. The research data were analyzed by descriptive statistical
methods including Mean and Standard Deviation. Also, inferential statistical methods like
one -way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Multiple-way analysis of variance (MANOVA)
and t-test student for independent groups. Then all data were entered to computer using SPSS
package version 16.
Results: The findings indicated that there was a significant difference between total early
maladaptive schemas scores and the sub-scales including emotional deprivation,
abandonment/instability, distrust/misbehave, social isolation/alienation defectiveness/ shame,
failure, depended/incompetence, harm to self and obedience among orphan and non- orphan
adolescences(p<0.01). While, there was no significant difference between two research
groups in irrational beliefs and communicational skills except the assertiveness score. This
difference was one of the sub-scales in relationship skills. The non-orphan adolescents had
acquired better score than orphan adolescents in assertiveness skill.
Conclusion: the results indicated that create proper conditions in childhood period for
satisfying the basics needs of children like secure attachment especially for orphans child is
very vital and important. Orphans are deprived from secure and stable family atmosphere. So,
for better bringing up and preventing those from psychological problems creating the secure
