The findings showed that the schemas of lack of understanding, guilt, simplification, lack of control, numbness, rejection, rumination and shame and temperaments of innovations, dependent reward, and perseverance had a positive and significant relationship with dark tetrad personality traits in students and the schemas of the lake of evaluation, rationality and weak expression and characters of cooperation, self-direction and self-transgression had a negative and significant relationship with their dark tetrad personality traits (P<0.01).
