The quantitative- correlation method was used. The statistical population of this study was all single girls studying in Isfahan universities in the academic year 1401-1400. In this study, according Convenience sampling method, 200 people by formula Cochran were selected as samples and they were asked to fill in the attitudes about romance and mate selection scale (ARMSS) of Cobb and et al (2003) and Young Schema Questionnaire – Short Form Version 3 (YSQ-S3) of Young (2005). The collected data was analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and multivariate regression analysis. Findings showed that there was positive and significant correlation between early maladaptive schemas with constraining beliefs regarding mate selection (P<0/01). Regression analyses also revealed that %75/7 of variance of constraining beliefs regarding mate selection was explained by early maladaptive schemas. This study confirmed the significant contribution of early maladaptive schemas in constraining beliefs regarding mate selection in single girls.
