Young Schema Questionnaire - Revised (YSQ-R)

What are Schemas?

Schemas are naturally developing cognitive frameworks that help us organise and interpret information about the world. Early Maladaptive Schemas (EMS) are deeply ingrained emotional and cognitive patterns that can develop in response to adverse experiences in childhood. They often operate subconsciously and, when activated, can negatively impact an individual's thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and relationships throughout life.

Identifying these EMS can help bring about positive change by increasing self-awareness, developing healthier coping strategies, and enhancing interpersonal relationships.

The Young Schema Questionnaire-Revised (YSQ-R)

The YSQ-R, developed by Dr Ozgur Yalcin and Colleagues (Yalcin et al, 2022) is a 116-item revised version of the Young Schema Questionnaire (Young and Brown; 2003). It assesses 20 different EMS, including new schemas replacing the original Emotional Inhibition and Punitiveness schemas: Emotional Constriction, Fear of Losing Control, Punitiveness (Self), and Punitiveness (Other). This questionnaire is available to use for free, and is intended to be used as part of a broader assessment by a suitably trained clinician.

This online version has been developed by Unpack Psychology and Dr. Oz Yalcin.
