The present study was conducted with the aim of comparing the effectiveness of schema therapy and therapy based on improving the quality of life on anxiety in women affected by infidelity. This was a semi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design and a control group with a two-month follow-up period. The statistical population of all women affected by the infidelity of their husbands in 2019- 2020 was in Tehran and the statistical sample was 45 people who were selected by purposeful sampling and were tested and appointed as witnesses in three groups of 15 people. A schematic therapy group was intervened during 8 90-minute sessions and a quality-of-life-based therapy group during 10 90-minute sessions. The data were collected with the Wells Anxiety Thoughts Questionnaire (AnTI) (1994) and analyzed by repeated measures analysis of variance. The difference of the means showed that there is no significant difference between the two interventions in the post-test (p<0.05); Also, a statistically significant difference was reported between the two interventions and the control group (P<0.01). These two interventions did not have a significant difference in terms of effectiveness on this variable in women affected by infidelity; These results can be seen in the follow-up of both interventions. It can be concluded that schema therapy and therapy based on improving the quality of life are effective on over-anxiety in women affected by infidelity, but there is no difference between the two therapies.
