Reliability and Validity of the Ukrainian Version of Second Version of the Emotional Schema Questionnaire (Less II)

Authored by Soorena Sardarzadeh*

This study aims to investigate the reliability and validity of the Ukrainian version of second version of the Emotional Schema Questionnaire (LessII; Leahy, 2000) and provide expected scores for nonclinical samples.  Emotional schema concept is developed for determining beliefs and attributions about emotions. The aim of this study was to examine validity and reliability of the Ukrainian version of “Leahy Emotional Schema Scale” (LESS). The sample consisted of 1230 people as statistical sample, 62 percent were male, and 38 percent were female. Respondent’s’ average age was 14-55 years old. Most of them including 39 percent had bachelor degree. The results of the study showed that due to the Cronbach’s alpha that is higher than 0.7, the reliability of all variables is desirable. Confirmatory factor analyses support the schema domains. We conclude that the Less II is a psychometrically sound instrument that can be used Ukraine in research on early maladaptive schemas. Further research is necessary particularly in larger clinical samples.
