Detailed Description
Most of the mental health service programs are limited to targeting specific psychiatric symptoms, which does not necessarily consider the personality and characteristics of individuals. To provide more personalized mental health care service, it is essential to identify the personality of individuals through valid psychological test.
Thus, MINDLiNG has developed the Schema Scale based on schema theory and psychodynamic theory in order to provide personalized and evidence-based treatment at the level of psychotherapy.
This study was conducted to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Schema Scale. The scale was administered online on non-clinical population (n = 234). The internal consistency of Schema Scale was evaluated. In addition, its factor structured was studied by exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Concurrent validity was examined by comparing the extracted Schema Scale factors with other psychological tests using Pearson's correlation tests.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Schema Scale [Baseline]
A 35-item questionnaire developed by 40FY for identifying 5-types of maladaptive schema types. The questionnaire consists of 5-point Likert scale. The Schema Scale was developed based on schema theory and other psychodynamic theories. The scale was developed by a certified psychiatrist and 3 clinical psychologists. A higher score for each factor means that the individual has more severe maladaptive psychological schemas.
- Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) [Baseline]
The PSS is a 10-item scale that measures the perceived stress on a 5-point severity with higher scores indicating more severe perceived stress.
- Self-Efficacy Stress (SES) [Baseline]
The SES is a 23-item scale that assesses the individuals self-efficacy on a 5-point likert scale. Higher scores indicate higher level of self-efficacy.
- Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) [Baseline]
The CES-D is a 20-item questionnaire that measures depressive symptoms on a 4-point likert scale.
- State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) [Baseline]
