Early maladaptive schemas (EMS), the deep internalized patterns have been found as predicting lower levels of psychological well being (PWB). There is limited knowledge regarding which factors may moderate this relation and autobiographical memory functions (AMF) could be one of them since autobiographical memories have a strong role in shaping EMS. Young non-clinical adults (N = 190) from Türkiye completed the Young Early Maladaptive Schemas Scale (with 14 domains including Approval Seeking, and Punitiveness), Ryff Psychological Well-Being Scale, and Thinking About Life Experiences Scale. Results showed that the negative relation between EMS and PWB are moderated by AMFs for approval seeking and punitiveness EMS domains. Specifically, these negative relations were significant at low and moderate levels of directive and self functions, but not significant at high levels of these functions. So, using self and directive functions more often may play a protective role against the negative impact of EMS on PWB.
