This study was conducted with the aim of predicting family cohesion based on early maladaptive schemas and emotion regulation among bank employees. The present research was a descriptive‑correlational study using regression analysis. The statistical population consisted of employees of Bank Mellat in Mazandaran Province in the year 2025. Using a convenience sampling method, a sample of 250 individuals was selected. The research instruments included the Family Organized Cohesion Scale (FOCS; Fischer et al., 1992), the Young Schema Questionnaire (YSQ; Young, 1990), and the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ; Gross & John, 2003). Data were analyzed using multiple regression. The findings showed that there was a significant negative relationship between the domains of disconnection and rejection, hypervigilance, and impaired limits with family cohesion (p‹0.01), whereas no significant relationship was found between the domains of impaired autonomy and performance and other-directedness and family cohesion (p>0.05). Also, the reappraisal component of emotion regulation had a positive relationship with family cohesion, and suppression had a significant negative relationship with family cohesion (p‹0.01). Also, predictor variables were able to explain 51.9% of the changes in family cohesion (p<0.001). These results indicate that the domains of disconnection and rejection, hypervigilance, and impaired limits and emotion regulation strategies play an important role in family cohesion. Therefore, programs to strengthen family cohesion should simultaneously focus on modifying early maladaptive schemas and teaching adaptive emotion regulation strategies.
