This study aimed to determine the mediating role of social comparison about early maladaptive schemas with the body image of female students with obesity. The research method is a description of structural equations. The statistical population of this study consisted of all female high school students with obesity in Tehran from 1401-1400, among 208 people selected as a sample by the purposive sampling method. Data collection tools included The Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire (MBRSQ, Cash & Pruzinsky, 1965), the Schema Questionnaire Short form (YSQSF, Young, 1999), the social comparison Questionnaire (SCQ, Gibbons & Bunck, 1991). The results showed that the schematic domains of disconnection and rejection (P=0.001), Impaired autonomy and performance (P=0.027), impaired limits (P=0.001), other-directedness (P=0.001) have a negative and significant direct effect on social comparison, except for the excessive vigilance (P=0.946). Also, social comparison (P=0.001) has a direct effect on body image in a negative and significant way, And all four domains, except the excessive vigilance, have a positive and significant indirect relationship with body image through social comparison (P<0.05). However, the social comparison between the domain of excessive vigilance and with body image of obese female students doesn’t play a mediating role (P>0.05). Consequently, the social comparison between the domains of disconnection and rejection, Impaired autonomy and performance, impaired limits, and other-directedness with the body image of obese female students plays a mediating role. the results showed that the proposed research model had a good fit.

Keywords: body image, early maladaptive schemas, social comparison.
